Adolescents show a heightened susceptibility to peer influence compared to adults. Individual differences in this susceptibility exist, yet there has been little effort to link these with broader personality processes. Reward sensitivity and impulsive behaviour are also heightened in adolescence and could affect the tendency to be influenced by peers. This study examined associations between se...

To date, few studies have examined the personality characteristics and clinical predictors of impulsive behaviors in eating disorders (ED). The aim of this work was to study the prevalence of a wide range of impulsive behaviors in a sample of 554 ED subjects and to examine the predictors of these behaviors. Subjects were diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria as having anorexia nervosa restrict...

Impulsive aggression is characterized by an inability to regulate affect as well as aggressive impulses, and is highly comorbid with other mental disorders including depression, suicidal behavior, and substance abuse. In an effort to elucidate the neurobiological underpinnings of impulsive aggression and to help account for its connections with these other disorders, this paper reviews relevant...

This paper studies impulsive synchronization of two Lorenz systems. An impulsive control scheme which considers transmission delay in chaos-based secure communication is presented. Sufficient conditions for the globally exponential stabilization of impulsive synchronization of two Lorenz systems are established by employing the Lyapunov-Razumikhin method. Upper bounds of the length and strength...

The partial rake receiver (PRR) is analyzed in the presence of fading and impulsive noise. The maximum likelihood PRR for impulsive, fading channel is derived, and a suboptimum PRR with reduced complexity is obtained. It is shown from numerical results that, when the noise is impulsive, the PRRs designed for impulsive noise offer performance improvement over those optimized for Gaussian environ...

May of the oscillation results for linear impulsive equations were justified by the following scheme. First, the equivalence of the oscillation of the impulsive equation and some specially constructed nonimpulsive equation was established; further, on the base of well-known results for the nonimpulsive case, the oscillation of the impulsive equation was analyzed. In the present paper, we prove ...

In this project, fuzzy impulsive control is used for stabilization of chaotic systems based on the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) model. The stability issue of the general nonlinear impulsive control system is first investigated via comparison criterion. Then, a novel impulsive control scheme is presented for chaotic systems based on the T–S fuzzy model. Some sufficient conditions are given to stabilize t...

In this paper, a new impulsive control strategy, namely pinning impulsive control, is proposed for the stabilization problem of nonlinear dynamical networks with time-varying delay. In this strategy, only a small fraction of nodes is impulsively controlled to globally exponentially stabilize the whole dynamical network. By employing the Lyapunov method combined with the mathematical analysis ap...
