Wemake the first attempt to discuss stability and boundedness of solutions to stochastic Volterra integrodifferential equations with infinite delay (IDSVIDEs). By the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, we get kinds of sufficient criteria for stability and boundedness of solutions to IDSVIDEs. The main innovation here is that stochastic systems with infinite delay can retain stability and ...

It is well understood that induction motors draw higher currents during their starting operations than is the case under full load running conditions. Since the early days of induction motor availability, starting methods other than Direct-on-Line have been used, and in some cases mandated by Utilities, to reduce the effect of these high starting currents on the electrical distribution network....

Introduction: Resilience has been described in many ways and is inherently complex. In essence, it refers to the capacity to face and do well when adversity is encountered. There is a need for empirical research on community level initiatives designed to enhance resilience for high-risk groups as part of an upstream approach to disaster management. In this study, we address this issue, presenti...

Excepting the exact mathematical definition of the infinitesimal model, existing quantitative and population genetic theory is consistent with the existence of segregating quantitative trait loci (QTL) of detectable size in populations long subjected to artificial selection. Evidence is accumulating in livestock, particularly in plants, that a proportion of QTL detected using reasonably stringe...

A MULTIDIMENSIONAL CONCEPT OF SLEEPINESS HAS BEEN THE TOPIC OF SEVERAL PUBLICATIONS WITH THE GOAL OF BETTER ASSESSMENT OF THE CONDITION OF EXCESSIVE daytime sleepiness.1-8 A concept of sleepiness as a function of homeostatic and circadian processes was proposed more than 20 years ago by Borbély;9 models proposed since then have stressed the competing drives of wake and sleep8,10 and have includ...

We view match as an operator that takes two graph-like structures (e.g., classifications, XML schemas) and produces a mapping between the nodes of these graphs that correspond semantically to each other. Semantic matching is based on two ideas: (i) we discover mappings by computing semantic relations (e.g., equivalence, more general); (ii) we determine semantic relations by analyzing the meanin...

Interpretation of artificial intelligence on the base of the philosophical fictionalism allowed discussing the educational technologies in the context of conditions for strengthening of discursive power of pupils’ thought. The artificial intelligence received broad interpretation as an embodiment of a literary image, which did not have unambiguous link with the area of logical formalisms and ma...

In this thesis we prove the existence of m-armed spiral wave solutions for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the circular and spherical geometries. Instead of applying the shooting method in the literature, we establish a functional approach and generalize the known results of existence for rigidly-rotating spiral waves. Moreover, we prove the existence of two new patterns: frozen spirals...

We investigate people’s attitudes towards the possible use of mobile negotiation support systems (NSS) in different social contexts and the consequences for their design. For that purpose we developed an online survey based on existing models of technology acceptance. In the questionnaire we showed five filmed scenarios of NSS use contexts. The data collected from 120 respondents, showed (a) th...
