This article surfaces debate in the literature around role of labour market information (LMI) career education and guidance. Building on questions whether LMI is peripheral or pivotal services (Bimrose, 2021) paper aims to synthesise argument existing LMI. Utilising an approach informed by Bacchi’s What problem represented be? (Bacchi & Goodwin, 2019), asks how why has been positioned some ...

Stochastic linear systems subjected both to Markov jumps and to multiplicative white noise are considered. In order to stabilize such type of stochastic systems, the so-called set of generalized discrete-time algebraic Riccati equations has to be solved. The LMI approach for computing the stabilizing symmetric solution (which is in fact the equilibrium point) of this system is studied. We const...

Leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) by choroid, retina, and uveal tract antigens was studied in patients with active and quiescent chorioretinal disease. LMI by retina was more frequent in both groups of patients, occurring in 9 of 16 patients with active disease and in 8 to 15 patients with disease in remission. Choroid was tested in 15 patients with active inflammation and led to LMI in 7 of...

This paper is concerned with the analysis problem of exponential stability for a class of discrete-time recurrent neural networks (DRNNs) with time delays. The delay is of the time-varying nature, and the activation functions are assumed to be neither differentiable nor strict monotonic. Furthermore, the description of the activation functions is more general than the recently commonly used Lip...

This series case report aimed to elucidate the underlying pathology and outcomes of lateral medullary infarction (LMI) using perfusion weighted imaging (PWI). Four patients were diagnosed with LMI based on high-field diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-DWI) and PWI. The national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores were recorded on days 1, 7, and 30, and the Barthel i...

This study investigated the relationships of fat mass (FM) and lean mass (LM) with estimated hip bone strength in Chinese men aged 50-80 years (median value: 62.0 years). A cross-sectional study including 889 men was conducted in Guangzhou, China. Body composition and hip bone parameters were generated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The relationships of the LM index (LMI) and the FM...

The rotary inverted pendulum, also named Furuta Pendulum, has been studied extensively for control performance evaluation in under-actuated mechanisms. The H∞ control invoking Linear Matrix Inequality (H∞-LMI) has been also wide employed for linear control design. This paper deals with the feasibility ofH∞-LMI technique to stabilize the rotary inverted pendulum around its unstable equilibrium p...

The severity of a tropical cyclone (TC) is often summarized by its lifetime maximum intensity (LMI), and the climatological LMI distribution is a fundamental feature of the climate system. The distinctive bimodality of the LMI distribution means that major storms (LMI >96 kt) are not very rare compared with less intense storms. Rapid intensification (RI) is the dramatic strengthening of a TC in...

Read with interest the article by Arias et al on a case of orthodromic atrioventricular reentry (ORT) mediated through the left free wall (LFW) accessory pathway(AP) with an apparently concentric atrial activation sequence [1]. Based on the observation that the atrial signals during the tachycardia were earlier in the His bundle (HB, anterosuperior septum) compared to the proximal coronary sinu...

⎯By employing the Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, delaydependent stability criterion is derived to ensure the exponential stability of bi-directional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying delays. The proposed condition can be checked easily by LMI control toolbox in Matlab. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness...
