Galaxy Evolution in a Pilot Survey up to z=1 and CDM Halos by E. Giraud, J. Melnick, Q.-S. Gu, H. Quintana, F. Selman, I. Toledo, P. Zelaya

“…We revisit the question of downsizing in emission-line galaxies between z=0.9 and z=0.45 in our pencil-beam and find the following results: strong star formation in emission line galaxies, aging in emission line galaxies, and aging in absorption systems, are shifting from bright to faint systems as cosmological time increases. Each redshift bin is repopulated in new starbursts. …”

Fuzzy Lyapunov function based stability analysis of hybrid multiple-frequency system with low frequency offshore wind power integration by Ziyue Duan, Yongqing Meng, Tianyi Wang, Boyang Zhao, Xiuli Wang, Xifan Wang

“…Furthermore, the improved fuzzy Lyapunov function method is proposed to calculate the system’s energy function and domain of attraction, reducing the conservativeness of quadratic energy function and eliminating the need for bounded time derivatives of membership function. On top of that, by introducing the concepts of large signal stability margin and sensitivity, it presents the quantitative optimization scheme for enhancing system stability. …”
