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. …”
