Asymptotical Behavior of the Solution of a SDOF Linear Fractionally Damped Vibration System by Z.H. Wang, M. L. Du

“…Moreover, the response of the fractionally damped oscillator under harmonic excitation is calculated in a similar way, and it is found that the fractional damping with order between 1 and 2 can be used to produce oscillation with large amplitude as well as to suppress oscillation, depending on the ratio of the excitation frequency and the natural frequency.…”

Comparative analysis of the ftness of Drosophila virilis lines contrasting in response to stress by E. K. Karpova, I. Yu. Rauschenbach, N. E. Gruntenko

“…It was shown that a decrease in JH degradation in individuals reacting to adverse conditions by stress reaction (R­individuals) causes delay in egg laying and seems to allow the population to “wait out” the unfavorable conditions, thereby contributing to the adaptation at the population level. However, monitoring natural populations of D. melanogaster for the capability of stress reaction demonstrated that they have a high percentage of individuals incapable of it (NR­individuals). …”
