Functional connectivity in ruminants: A generalized state-dependent modelling approach. by Darcy R Visscher, Evelyn H Merrill

“…We investigated how inter-patch distances influenced functional connectivity using a dynamic state variable model framework. The decision making process of an individual ruminant facing fitness trade-offs in staying in its patch of origin or moving to another patch at various distances were explicitly modelled. …”

Finite-Time Synchronization and Practical Synchronization for Caputo Fractional-Order Fuzzy Cellular Neural Networks with Transmission Delays and Uncertainties via Information Feed... by Hongguang Fan, Hui Wen, Kaibo Shi, Anran Zhou

“…To achieve practical finite-time (PFT) synchronization and finite-time (FT) synchronization of the studied systems, we design new nonlinear controllers including four feedback terms in this paper, and each carries a different role in the control process. Integrating different comparison principles and nonlinear feedback schemes, straightforward synchronization criteria of the CFOFCNNs are derived. …”

Dynamic ReLab: A Binary Path-Based Labeling Scheme for Dynamic XML Data by Yanche Ari Kustiawan, Khairil Imran Ghauth

“…Experimental results on real-world XML datasets demonstrate that although Dynamic ReLab incurs higher overhead during initial label generation, it substantially outperforms traditional schemes in update processing efficiency. This improvement is achieved through innovative techniques, such as hierarchical bit-masking and binary path concatenation, which streamline the update process and ensure the integrity of the XML structure. …”
