In the present paper we study a tri-trophic Lotka-Volterra food web model with omnivory and predator switching. We observe that if the intensity of predator switching increases the chaotic behavior of the omnivory model will be reduced. We conclude that the predator switching mechanism enhances the stability of an otherwise chaotic system.

A statistical model is developed to assess synchronization requirements for high-speed OTDM packet network regeneration. The model is then applied to analyze asynchronous and synchronous regenerator architectures.

The Bolivian inflation process is analyzed utilizing a time-varying univariate and multivariate Markov-switching model (TMS). With monthly data and, beginning in the late 1930s, accurately described by TMS. intercept for high-inflation regime significantly higher than low-inflation actual rate mirrors smoothing probabilities of Markov process. Additionally, predicted duration each closely fits ...

SiC Schottky Barrier diodes (SiC-SBD) are known to oscillate/ring in the output terminal when used as free-wheeling diodes in voltage source converters. This ringing is due to RLC resonance between the diode capacitance, parasitic resistance and circuit stray inductance. In this paper, a model has been developed for calculating the switching energy of SiC diodes as a function of the switching r...
