In this paper we develop a theory of disturbances induced by the stellar tidal field in a fully convective slowly rotating planet orbiting on a highly eccentric orbit around a central star. In that case it is appropriate to treat the tidal influence as a succession of impulsive tidal interactions occurring at periastron passage. For a fully convective planet mainly the l = 2 fundamental mode of...

This paper deals with robust exponential stability of Markovian jumping stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks (MJSCGNNs) with mode-dependent probabilistic time-varying delays, continuously distributed delays and impulsive perturbations. By construction of novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional having the triple integral terms, the double integral terms having the positive definite matrices d...

This paper presents a sliding mode filter that effectively removes impulsive noise and high-frequency noise with producing much smaller phase lag than linear filters. It is less prone to overshoot than previous sliding mode filters and it does not produce chattering. In addition, it is computationally inexpensive, and thus suitable for realtime applications. The proposed sliding mode filter emp...

A new theoretical model for the study of slow standing sausage mode oscillations in hot (T > 6 MK) active region coronal loops is presented. These oscillations are observed by the SUMER spectrometer on board the SoHO satellite. The model contains the transition region and the upper chromosphere which enables us to study the entire process of hot loop oscillations – from the impulsive footpoint ...

The serotonin system is a collection of neural pathways whose overall level of functioning (from low to high) relates to diverse kinds of psychological and behavioral variability. Individual differences in serotonergic function are important both in personality and in vulnerability to psychological disorders. These disorders range widely-from impulsive aggression to depression. One way to under...

Objective: The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships between personality traits, cognitive emotion regulation strategies and impulsive behaviors of borderline personality disorder, and to explore which personality traits and cognitive emotion regulation strategies can better predict and explain the impulsive behaviors in borderline personality disorder. Methods: This study...

This licentiate thesis deals with a special class of hybrid systems, where the continuous linear part is controlled by an intrinsic impulsive feedback that contributes discrete dynamics. The impacting pulsatile feedback signal is not available for measurement and, therefore, has to be reconstructed. To estimate all the elements of the hybrid state vector, an observation problem is considered. T...

Broadband power line communication based on an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing scheme is considered in this paper. In addition to multipath fading and frequency selectivity, the power line communication channel is influenced by impulsive noise. More bit errors in power line communications are caused by these effects. In this paper, a relevance vector machine (RVM) is applied to the r...
