In this paper an application is presented of the wavelet packet method for denoising of impulsive vibration signals. Vibration response of machines often includes signals with periodic excitation of resonances. The aim is to extract information regarding the physical mechanism which generates the impulsive characteristics of the signals. The signals are transformed using the wavelet packet meth...

This paper investigates the problem of input-to-state stability (ISS) for the general discrete-time impulsive hybrid systems. Quasi-exponential input-to-state stability criteria are established for non-linear discrete-time impulsive hybrid systems, based on the Lyapunov function. The results are then specialized to the linear discrete-time impulsive hybrid systems and fairly simple algebraic co...

Although the idea that aggression has biological components is not a new one, recent research in genetics, neuropsychopharmacology, and neuroimaging has helped clarify the biological contributions to aggression. Studies to date have focused on serotonergic function and impulsive aggression. Reduced levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) are associated with impul...

In this paper, a more general class of state-dependent impulsive Cohen–Grossberg neural networks having variable coefficients with time-varying delays is addressed. By means of B-equivalence method, we reduce this state-dependent impulsive neural networks system to a fix time impulsive neural networks system. Sufficient conditions for existence and global exponential stability of the equilibriu...

Dynamic dam-foundation interaction is great important in the design and safety assessment of dam structures. Two classic boundary conditions, i.e., viscous-spring viscous boundary, are employed to consider radiation damping unbounded rock foundation. The input models seismic excitation derived. accuracy two conditions dynamic analysis foundation verified through using an impulsive load. influen...

The nucleus accumbens core (NAc) has long been recognized as an important contributor to the computation of reward value that is critical for impulsive choice behavior. Impulsive choice refers to choosing a smaller-sooner (SS) over a larger-later (LL) reward when the LL is more optimal in terms of the rate of reward delivery. Two experiments examined the role of the NAc in impulsive choice and ...

This paper addresses the estimation of carrier frequency for cyclostationary AM, BPSK, and QPSK signals in the presence of interfering signals and α-stable impulsive noise. The performance of conventional DFT algorithms suffers from severe degradation in impulsive noise environments. By fusing cyclostationarity and fractional lower-order statistics, we introduce a signal selective carrier frequ...

In this paper, we established the exploitation of impulsive harvesting single autonomous population model by Logistic equation. By some special methods, we analysis the impulsive harvesting population equation and obtain existence, the explicit expression and global attractiveness of impulsive periodic solutions for constant yield harvest and proportional harvest. Then, we choose the maximum su...

Here, we review the evidence for sex differences in behavioral measures of impulsivity for both humans and laboratory animals. We focus on two specific components of impulsivity: impulsive action (i.e., difficulty inhibiting a prepotent response) and impulsive choice (i.e., difficulty delaying gratification). Sex differences appear to exist on these measures, but the direction and magnitude of ...

We investigate a class of impulsive gravitational waves which propagate either in Minkowski or in the (anti–) de Sitter background. These waves are constructed as impulsive members of the Kundt class P (Λ) of non-twisting, non-expanding type N solutions of vacuum Einstein equations with a cosmological constant Λ. We show that the only non-trivial waves of this type in Minkowski spacetime are im...
