Analysis of a Lorenz-Like Chaotic System by Lyapunov Functions by Fuchen Zhang

“…Furthermore, we investigate the global exponential attractive set of this system via the Lyapunov function method. The rate of the trajectories going from the exterior of the globally exponential attractive set to the interior of the globally exponential attractive set is also obtained for all the positive parameters values a,b,c. …”

Not All Fluctuations Are Created Equal: Spontaneous Variations in Thermodynamic Function by James P. Crutchfield, Cina Aghamohammadi

“…In addition to constructing the distribution of functional modalities, one immediate consequence is a cautionary lesson: ascribing a single, unique functional modality to a thermodynamic system, especially one on the nanoscale, can be misleading, likely masking an array of simultaneous, parallel thermodynamic transformations that together may also be functional. …”

Probability distribution function of the upper equatorial Pacific current speeds by Peter C. Chu

“…The probability distribution function (PDF) of the upper (0–50 m) tropical Pacific current speeds (w), constructed from hourly ADCP data (1990–2007) at six stations for the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean project, satisfies the two‐parameter Weibull distribution reasonably well with different characteristics between El Nino and La Nina events: In the western Pacific, the PDF of w has a larger peakedness during the La Nina events than during the El Nino events; and vice versa in the eastern Pacific. …”

Boundedness of Variance Functions of Natural Exponential Families with Unbounded Support by Shaul K. Bar-Lev

“…A second set relies on the Legendre duality, requiring a uniform positive lower bound on the second derivative of the generating function, which likewise ensures a bounded VF. The third set starts from the standard normal distribution and constructs an explicit sequence of NEFs whose Laplace transforms and VFs remain bounded. …”

LIGHTS. The extended point spread functions of the LIGHTS survey at the LBT by Nafise Sedighi, Zahra Sharbaf, Ignacio Trujillo, Sepideh Eskandarlou, Giulia Golini, Raúl Infante-Sainz, Samane Raji, Dennis Zaritsky, Pedram Ashofteh Ardakani, Nushkia Chamba, S. Zahra Hosseini-ShahiSavandi, Richard Donnerstein, Mauro D'Onofrio, Garreth Martin, Mireia Montes, Javier Román

“…With the arrival of the next generation of ultra-deep optical imaging surveys reaching $\mu_V$ $\sim$ 30 mag/arcsec$^2$ (3$\sigma$; 10′′ $\times$ 10′′), the removal of scattered light due to the point spread function (PSF) effect remains a critical step for the scientific exploitation of the low surface brightness information contained in these data. …”

Structural brain basis of latent factors of executive functions in childhood by Yongjing Li, Keertana Ganesan, Claire R. Smid, Abigail Thompson, Roser Cañigueral, Jessica Royer, Boris Bernhardt, Nikolaus Steinbeis

“…It is therefore unclear to what extent these associations reflect task-specific features or actual constructs of executive functions. Here, in a sample of 141 children aged 6–13 years, we administered a battery of 9 executive function tasks, derived latent factors of inhibition, working memory, and shifting and examined their associations with markers of brain structure (whole-brain cortical thickness). …”
