Mortalité maternelle et périnatalité au premier millénaire à Lisieux (Calvados, France) by Armelle Alduc-Le Bagousse, Joël Blondiaux

“…In four burials, a female adult and an immature skeleton are in direct association (foetus inside the pelvis or newborn lain on the female body) suggesting the probability of maternal deaths. The typology of these graves and their organisation within the burial ground do not distinguish them from most of the other burials.Observation of the positions of both skeletons during excavation, and macroscopic, microscopic and radiological examination of the bones in the laboratory has enabled the reconstitution of each obstetrical event (death occurring before, during or after delivery), the indication of certain maternal or foetal risks, and an argumentation, case by case, for the obstetrical causes which could have led directly or indirectly to these maternal deaths.…”

Finite-Time Robust Stabilization for Stochastic Neural Networks by Weixiong Jin, Xiaoyang Liu, Xiangjun Zhao, Nan Jiang, Zhengxin Wang

“…Based on the recent finite-time stability theorem of stochastic nonlinear systems, sufficient conditions are established for ensuring the finite-time stability of the dynamics of SNNs in probability. Then, the gain parameters of the finite-time controller could be obtained by solving a linear matrix inequality and the robust finite-time stabilization could also be guaranteed for SNNs with uncertain parameters. …”
