No full textAdaptive synchronization of quaternion-valued neural networks with reaction–diffusion and fractional order
No full textThis paper is dedicated to the study of adaptive finite-time synchronization (FTS) for generalized delayed fractional-order reaction–diffusion quaternion-valued neural networks (GDFORDQVNN). Utilizing the suitable Lyapunov functional, Green’s formula, and inequalities skills, testable algebraic criteria for ensuring the FTS of GDFORDQVNN are established on the basis of two adaptive controllers. Moreover, the numerical examples validate that the obtained results are feasible. Furthermore, they are also verified in image encryption as the application
Approximation for probability of coverage in softly inhibitive cellular networks
No full textAbstract The Strauss point process is a very popular model for describing the random cellular networks, yet several key statistical properties such as intensity, empty space function, and probability generating functional have remained elusive. This article addresses these issues by first leveraging the Poisson saddle point method to approximate the distance‐conditioned intensity for Strauss point processes. Subsequently, the author derives an analytically tractable expression for the distribution of empty space distance based on a conditional thinning mechanism. Additionally, the author establishes an upper bound for the probability generating functional in Strauss point processes, which is crucial for evaluating the Laplace transform of cumulative interference in relevant cellular networks. These findings facilitate the systematic derivation of spatially averaged probability of coverage, and the accuracy of analytic results is validated through simulations

No full textSustainable Infrastructure Design Framework through Integration of Rating Systems and Building Information Modeling
No full textBIM (building information modeling) can be the basis for carrying out various performance analyses. Sustainable infrastructure rating systems are suitable tools for assessing an infrastructure’s environmental performance. It is necessary to integrate them in the design process. The research adopted a thorough literature review to follow the development trends, interviews with professionals from the academia and industry, and a critical analysis of technical requirements for integrating BIM tools and infrastructure sustainability rating systems in the design process. This study propagates a conceptual framework for integrating sustainability rating systems by introducing BIM with a sustainability metric plug-in. The adoption of the proposed solution allows for what-if scenarios to better support the incorporation of sustainability into design decisions and the assessment of sustainability at the design phase of the infrastructure project. The framework is used to refine designs and ensure that sustainable goals are met and to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. This paper concludes that greater emphasis should be placed on supporting technical requirements to facilitate the integration of BIM and sustainability rating systems. It defines the possibility of BIM adoption to influence the sustainable project performance in the infrastructure. This framework could streamline the sustainable design process and lead to more integrated infrastructure delivery.Integral Design & Managemen
Planning and financial literacy : how do women fare?
No full textMany older US households have done little or no planning for retirement, and there is a substantial population that seems to undersave for retirement. Of particular concern is the relative position of older women, who are more vulnerable to old-age poverty due to their longer longevity. This paper uses data from a special module we devised on planning and financial literacy in the 2004 Health and Retirement Study. It shows that women display much lower levels of financial literacy than the older population as a whole. In addition, women who are less financially literate are also less likely to plan for retirement and be successful planners. These findings have important implications for policy and for programs aimed at fostering financial security at older ages
beta-DECAY HALF-LIVES AROUND Ni-78 AND Sn-132 IN A SELF-CONSISTENT APPROACH
No full textbeta-decay half-lives around Ni-78 and Sn-132 are studied with proton-neutron Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation on the basis of Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF) method. We take into account tensor force correlation in calculating the ground and excited states and find it improves the half-life of Sn-132. However, the Q value is still underestimated. We also discuss that half-lives do not strongly depend on type of particle-particle interaction in isospin T = 0 channel.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000280050200070&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Physics, NuclearPhysics, Particles & FieldsPhysics, MathematicalSCI(E)CPCI-S(ISTP)
