Non‐Oscillatory Control Based Fixed‐Time Synchronization of Fuzzy Memristive Neural Networks by Zuhao Li, Abdujelil Abdurahman

“…Then, a new FXT stability theorem that provides a more accurate ST estimation is derived by using incomplete Beta functions. Furthermore, based on this result, some new sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the FXT synchronization of considered fuzzy MNNs via designing a class of control schemes by introducing a new saturation function as well as using some inequality techniques. …”

Autonomic Regulation of Splanchnic Circulation by Kathleen A Fraser, Samuel S Lee

“…Vasoconstriction in the splanchnic circulation appears to be mediated by alpha-2 receptors and vasodilation by activation of primary afferent nerves with subsequent release of vasodilatory peptides, or by stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors. As well, an important function of the autonomic nervous system is to provide a mechanism by which splanchnic vascular reserve can be mobilized during stress to maintain overall cardiovascular homeostasis.…”
