Linear Control of Fractional-Order Financial Chaotic Systems with Input Saturation by Junhai Luo, Guanjun Li, Heng Liu

“…The saturation problem is tackled by using Gronwall-Bellman lemma and a memoryless nonlinearity function. Based on Gronwall inequality and Laplace transform technique, two sufficient conditions are achieved for the asymptotical stability of the fractional-order financial chaotic systems with fractional orders 0 < α ≤ 1 and 1 < α < 2, respectively. …”

Environmental Influences on Young Adult Male Height. A Comparison of Town and Countryside in the Netherlands, 1815-1900 by Jan Kok, Erik Beekink, David Bijsterbosch

“…We contrast an early industrializing town, with a typical proletarian sub-culture of tile bakers and a significant middle class (Woerden in the province of South-Holland) to an agrarian community (the village of Akersloot and surrounding area in the province of North-Holland). Our dataset allows us to disentangle effects of the family composition, the family’s socio-economic status, food prices, and the environment on bodily growth of 1,738 young men. …”

Engel Series and Cohen-Egyptian Fraction Expansions by Vichian Laohakosol, Tuangrat Chaichana, Jittinart Rattanamoong, Narakorn Rompurk Kanasri

“…Two kinds of series representations, referred to as the Engel series and the Cohen-Egyptian fraction expansions, of elements in two different fields, namely, the real number and the discrete-valued non-archimedean fields are constructed. Both representations are shown to be identical in all cases except the case of real rational numbers.…”

Haemophilus parasuis Subunit Vaccines Based on Native Proteins with Affinity to Porcine Transferrin Prevent the Expression of Proinflammatory Chemokines and Cytokines in Pigs by R. Frandoloso, S. Martínez-Martínez, E. F. Rodríguez-Ferri, S. Yubero, D. Rodríguez-Lázaro, M. Hernández, C. B. Gutiérrez-Martín

“…Two vaccines containing native proteins with affinity to porcine transferrin (NPAPTim and NPAPTit) were tested, along with two control groups: one inoculated with PBS instead of antigen (challenge group (CHG)), and another one nonimmunized and noninfected (blank group). The use of NPAPTim and NPAPTit resulted in complete protection against H. parasuis (no clinical signs and/or lesions), and both vaccines were capable of avoiding the expression of the proinflammatory molecules to levels similar to physiological values in blank group. …”

Electronic course of a discipline as a structural element of the digital educational environment of a university by Ludmila A. Loginova, Ekaterina V. Tkachenko

“…The positive results of digitalisation of education in our study include the possibility of building individual educational trajectories for students, starting from the stage of learning new material to the stage of controlling the formation of competencies; continuous monitoring of educational results of students’ learning activities based on the rating, tracking of gaps with subsequent correction of the learning trajectory. It should be noted that in order to organise the learning process in a digital educational environment, students need to be prepared for self-dependent learning activities.…”

Research on Protection Distances for Interference Between Earth Stations——Protection Distances for Interference from Fixed-SateIIite Earth Stations to Space Research Earth Stations... by Jianxin Li, Wenhan Yang

“…Fixed-satellite service earth stations and space research service earth stations parameters in the 8 400～8 500 MHz band were introduced.Then the interference from fixed-satellite earth stations to space research earth stations was examined and the required separation distances for protection of space research earth stations were calculated.For the protection of space research earth stations,both the non-geostationary-satellite and geostationary-satellite systems using maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power spectral density values allowed per“Radio Regulations”were covered.The result shows that required separation distances in the range from 542 km to 582 km around near-earth space research service earth stations would need to be established in order to meet the protection criteria of the near-earth space research earth station.…”
