The impulsive noise is the main cause of packet errors in power line communication networks. In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) and medium access control (MAC) protocol analytical models under impulsive noise interference are developed. The accuracy of the developed models is verified by computer simulations. In the computer simulations, the Poisson arrival of the impulsive noise is simula...

in this paper, global robust stability of stochastic impulsive recurrent neural networks with time-varyingdelays which are represented by the takagi-sugeno (t-s) fuzzy models is considered. a novel linear matrix inequality (lmi)-based stability criterion is obtained by using lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of uncertain fuzzy stochastic impulsive recurrent neural...

Risky sexual behavior (RSB) is associated with a variety of negative health and social consequences including STDs and unplanned pregnancies. The present study focused on the association between psychopathic personality traits and RSB. College students (N = 511) completed self-report measures of RSB, psychopathic personality traits, and sensation seeking. When sensation seeking, Fearless Domina...

The purpose of this paper is to present the fundamental concepts of the basic theory for linear impulsive systems on time scales. First, we introduce the transition matrix for linear impulsive dynamic systems on time scales and we establish some properties of them. Second, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for linear impulsive dynamic systems on time scales. Also we give some s...

In this paper, impulsive control and synchronization for the newly presented Lorenz systems family are systematically investigated. Some new and more comprehensive criteria for global exponential stability and asymptotical stability of impulsively controlled Lorenz systems family are established with varying impulsive intervals. In particular, several simple and easily verified criteria are der...

In this paper, we consider a class of impulsive stochastic Volterra-Levin equations. By establishing a new integral inequality, some sufficient conditions for the existence and global attractivity of periodic solution for impulsive stochastic Volterra-Levin equations are given. Our results imply that under the appropriate linear periodic impulsive perturbations, the impulsive stochastic Volterr...

BACKGROUND The relationship between impulsivity and suicide has been conceptualized in the literature as a direct one. In contrast, Joiner's [Joiner, T.E., 2005. Why people die by suicide. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA.] theory posits that this relationship is indirect in that impulsive individuals are more likely to engage in suicidal behavior because impulsivity makes one more likel...

This paper is concerned with the existence of mild solutions for impulsive integro-differential equations with nonlocal conditions. We apply the technique measure of noncompactness in the space of piecewise continuous functions and by using Darbo-Sadovskii's fixed point theorem, we prove reasults about impulsive integro-differential equations for convex-power condensing operators.

BACKGROUND Previous research has identified only a few variables that have been associated with making an impulsive suicide attempt. The aim of the current study was to compare individuals who made an impulsive suicide attempt with those who made a premeditated attempt on both previously examined and novel characteristics. METHOD Participants were classified as making an impulsive or premedit...
