Super-entropic black holes in gravity’s rainbow and determining constraints on rainbow functions by Behzad Eslam Panah, Narges Heidari, Mana Soleimani, Maryam Kaveh

“…We assess the physical and stable regions by utilizing these thermodynamic quantities alongside the inverse isoperimetric inequality, aiming to determine constraints on the rainbow functions. Finally, we show that by considering a constraint on the rainbow function, these black holes satisfy the super-entropic condition.…”

The mind body problem, part three: ascension of sexual function to cerebral level by Ion G. Motofei, David L. Rowland

“…At opposite end, sexual function (autonomic in nature, erection for example being a parasympathetic vasodilatory reflex) seems to be compatible and even dependent by a somatic participation (erectile response is rather induced by environmental stimuli than internal visceral stimuli). …”

Spectral Intensity Variation by the Correlation Function of Refractive Index Fluctuations of the Liquid Medium by Nageshwar Singh

“…Far field spectral intensity variation of the radiation propagating through the liquid medium is a consequence of variation in correlation function of the refractive index inhomogeneities. The strength of radiation scattered in a particular direction depends on the spatial correlation function of the refractive index fluctuations of the medium. …”

Static Output Feedback Control for Linear Systems via Multiple Lyapunov Functions by Guokai Liang, Xin Xie, Wei Pan, Yanzhang Gu, Zeming Chen, Zhe Li, Weijie Zeng

“…This paper is concerned with the problem of synthesizing static output feedback (SOF) controllers for linear systems via multiple Lyapunov functions (LFs). By appending a zero block to the matrix related to the control input and incorporating a real matrix into the control gain accordingly, the closed-loop system is extended, thereby introducing additional degrees of freedom into the proposed synthesis conditions. …”

ACE inhibitor effects of brachial artery structure and function in patients with arterial hypertension by L. V. Melnikova

“…In EAH patients, the six-month fosinopril treatment was associated with BA IMT reduction, but not with substantial intraluminal diameter changes, or increased endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. Conclusion. Among EAH patients, an ACE inhibitor fosinopril demonstrated a marked improvement in BA structural and functional parameters.…”
