The present study examined whether a sample of 214 (52.8% male, M age = 15.76, SD = 1.29) institutionalized adolescents could be classified into subgroups based on psychopathic traits. Confirmatory Factor Analyses revealed a relationship between the subscales of the Youth Psychopathic traits Inventory (YPI) and the three latent constructs of the original model on which it is based. Latent Class...

BACKGROUND The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are numerous, including worsening of mood, psychotic symptoms, aggressive and impulsive behaviours, and many others. It is generally assumed that there exists a relationship between the severity of dementia and aggressive symptoms. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between aggressive and impulsive behaviours and cognitive fu...

Refining vehicle NVH is a key aspect of the powertrain development process. Powertrain NVH refinement is impacted not only by overall sound levels, but also sound quality. Powertrain sound quality and therefore the level of NVH refinement can be adversely impacted by excessive impulsive noise. A process is outlined in this study to comprehend the occurrence of impulsive powertrain noise. Additi...

We investigate the Lyapunov control of finite-dimensional quantum systems with impulsive control fields, where the studied quantum systems are governed by the Schrödinger equation. By three different Lyapunov functions and the invariant principle of impulsive systems, we study the convergence of quantum systems with impulsive control fields and propose new results for the mentioned quantum syst...

This paper studies uniform stability problems of stochastic impulsive systems by using a new comparison method. We firstly establish a comparison principle between the stochastic impulsive system and its scalar comparison system. Based on the obtained comparison result, uniform stability and uniform asymptotic stability of stochastic impulsive systems are established by analyzing those of compa...

The notion of Lipschitz stability of impulsive systems of differential equations (DEs) was introduced. In this paper, we will extend the notion of eventual stability to impulsive systems of DEs and extend the notion of Lipschitz stability of impulsive systems of DEs to a new type of stability called eventual Lipschitz stability. Some criteria and results are given. Our technique depends on Liap...

The impulsive control method is developed to stabilize a class of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) with reaction–diffusion terms and Dirichlet boundary conditions. With the help of Lyapunov functionals, impulsive delay differential inequality and comparison principle, some sufficient conditions ensuring global exponential stability (GES) of equilibrium point are obtained. In particular, ...

The performance of DMT systems is studied in impulsive noise channels by using Middleton's Class A noise distribution. A statistical model is developed to generate Class A distributed impulsive noise samples and this model is used for the performance analysis. An exact expression is derived for the subchannel SER. By employing the central limit theorem, the subchannel SER is further simplified....

Abstract. In this paper, we deal with the impulsive control systems of fractional order and their optimal controls in Banach spaces. We firstly show the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for a broad class of impulsive fractional infinite dimensional control systems under suitable assumptions. Then by using generally mild conditions of cost functionals, we extend the existence result of...

Prefrontal hypoperfusion and decreased glucose uptake in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are found in violent criminal offenders, murderers and aggressive psychiatric patients. These abnormalities may be independent of diagnosis and associated with impulsive-aggression as a personality trait. Impulsive-aggression is a clinical characteristic of borderline personality disorder (BPD) where it is asso...
