Stability Criteria for Volterra Integrodynamic System by Nusrat Yasmin, Awais Younus, Usman Ali, Safia Mirza

“…We study conditions under which the solutions of linear Volterra integrodynamic system of the form yΔt=Atyt+∫t0tKt,sysΔs are stable on certain time scales. We construct a number of Lyapunov functionals on time scales from which we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of Volterra integrodynamic system and also we prove several results concerning qualitative behavior of this system.…”

Assessment of uncertainties in stage–discharge rating curves: a large-scale application to Quebec hydrometric network by A. Mailhot, G. Talbot, S. Bolduc, C. Fortier

“…<p>Rating curves (RCs), which establish a relationship between stage and discharge at a given cross-section of a river, are largely used by national agencies to measure flow. RCs are constructed from gauging measurements and are usually represented by power functions (also called “power laws”), mathematical functions frequently used to represent stage–discharge relationships of standard hydraulic structures. …”

Concurrent validity testing of the patient perspective of arrhythmia questionnaire by Kathryn A. Wood, Yutong Jin, Robert T. Krafty, Jameze H. James, Sivaraman K. Iyer, Nitish Badhwar

“…The Patient Perspective of Arrhythmia Questionnaire (PPAQ) was initially developed as a self-administered, disease-specific PROM for patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) assessing the impact of the arrhythmia and symptoms on patients’ daily activities and physical, emotional, and social functioning. Preliminary evidence of content and construct validity has been previously demonstrated, but only in SVT patients in the U.S. and Poland. …”
