Global Finite-Time Stabilization for a Class of Uncertain High-Order Nonlinear Systems by Jian Wang, Jing Xie, Fangzheng Gao

“…This paper addresses the problem of global finite-time stabilization by state feedback for a class of high-order nonlinear systems under weaker condition. By using the methods of adding a power integrator, a continuous state feedback controller is successfully constructed to guarantee the global finite-time stability of the resulting closed-loop system. …”

Analysis of Differences in the Degree of Biomechanical Adaptation according to Habituation to Different Heel Heights by Yu-Jin Cha

“…Wearers of low-heeled shoes (3 cm and below in heel height) showed the highest plantar peak pressure in the lateral forefoot and midfoot, the highest contact area in midfoot, the highest %MVIC in the plantar flexion and dorsiflexion of the tibialis anterior (TA), and the highest stiffness in the TA, and they showed the lowest static balance ability with eyes open (EO) among the three groups. …”

The effect of misinformation acceptance on COVID-19 prevention behaviors by Leila Dehghani, Tahereh Tamimi, Mazyar Ganjoor, Parisa Eskandari

“…With the status of vaccination with acceptance of misinformation, the evidence of higher acceptance of misinformation is seen in people who received a lower dose or did not receive the vaccine. Weaker economic groups have been more exposed to misinformation and accepting it. …”

Online Vulnerability Assessment in Cascading Failure Analysis Using an Intelligence Monitoring Model by Saber Armaghani, Zahra Moravej

“…In this paper, a new model is proposed in the Special Protection Scheme for long-term under-voltage load shedding, which is based on minimizing the shedding cost and power losses in power systems, modeling voltage-dependent loads, load response model, and considering feeders. The economic and technical considerations in the proposed model play an essential role in the characteristics of the Special Protection Scheme for under voltage load shedding. …”

Nehari-Type Ground State Positive Solutions for Superlinear Asymptotically Periodic Schrödinger Equations by Xiaoyan Lin, X. H. Tang

“…We deal with the existence of Nehari-type ground state positive solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation -Δu+Vxu=fx, u, x ∈ RN, u ∈ H1 RN. Under a weaker Nehari condition, we establish some existence criteria to guarantee that the above problem has Nehari-type ground state solutions by using a more direct method in two cases: the periodic case and the asymptotically periodic case.…”

A New Exceptional Family of Elements and Solvability of General Order Complementarity Problems by Na Huang, Changfeng Ma

“…By using the concept of exceptional family, we propose a sufficient condition of a solution to general order complementarity problems (denoted by GOCP) in Banach space, which is weaker than that in Németh, 2010 (Theorem 3.1). Then we study some sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of exceptional family for GOCP in Hilbert space. …”

Marcinkiewicz Integrals on Weighted Weak Hardy Spaces by Yue Hu, Yueshan Wang

“…We prove that, under the condition Ω∈Lipα, Marcinkiewicz integral μΩ is bounded from weighted weak Hardy space WHwpRn to weighted weak Lebesgue space WLwpRn for maxn/n+1/2,n/n+α<p≤1, where w belongs to the Muckenhoupt weight class. We also give weaker smoothness condition assumed on Ω to imply the boundedness of μΩ from WHw1ℝn to WLw1Rn.…”
