Finite-Time Passivity and Passification Design for Markovian Jumping Systems with Mode-Dependent Time-Varying Delays by Chao Ma

“…This paper investigates the finite-time passivity and passification design problem for a class of Markovian jumping systems with mode-dependent time-varying delays. By employing the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method, delay-dependent sufficient criteria are derived to ensure the mean-square stochastically finite-time passivity. …”

Attractors for the nonclassical diffusion equations with the driving delay term in time-dependent spaces by Yadan Shi, Yongqin Xie, Ke Li, Zhipiao Tang

“…A significant innovation is the consideration of a delay term governed by a function with minimal assumptions: merely measurability and a phase-space that is a time-dependent space of continuously-time-varying functions. By employing a novel analytical approach, we demonstrate the existence and regularity of time-varying pullback $ \mathscr{D} $-attractors. …”

Vaccinated, Recovered and Tested in the Workplace: Situation in Firms in Lower Saxony at the End of 2021 by Stephan L. Thomsen, Johannes Trunzer

“…Abstract The amendment of the Infection Protection Act at the end of November 2021 made it possible to map vaccinated, recovered and tested employees at the firm-level for the first time after the start of vaccinations in Germany. The Employers’ Associations of Lower Saxony (UVN), IHK Hannover, creditreform and the Institute for Economic Policy at Leibniz University Hanover conducted a short online survey on the vaccination and recovery status, the number of antigen rapid tests as well as the proportion of employees working from home. …”
