Finite-Time Stability of Fractional-Order Time-Varying Delays Gene Regulatory Networks with Structured Uncertainties and Controllers by Zhaohua Wu, Zhiming Wang, Tiejun Zhou

“…Our contributions lie in three aspects: first, a necessary and sufficient condition on the existence of the solution for the DFGRNs is given by using the properties of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative and Caputo’s fractional derivative; second, the unique solution of the DFGRNs is proved under given initial function and certain condition; third, some novel sufficient conditions on finite-time stability of the DFGRNs are established by using a generalized Gronwall inequality and norm technique, and some conclusions on the finite-time stability of the DFGRNs with memory state-feedback controllers are reached, and those conditions and conclusions depend on the fractional order of the DFGRNs. …”

Forced labor in accounting during World War II. The case of the company SS Ostindustrie GmbH by Mikołaj Turzyński, Adam Kędrzyński

“…Nazi ideology involved accounting, which helped maximize its destructive reach. The importance of the clearing function of accounting is also emphasized.Research limitations/implications: The basic research limitation is the small number of preserved archival materials concerning Osti’s accounting regulations.Practical implications: The research contributes to the development of further interdis-ciplinary research on the phenomena of forced labor at the intersection of law, accounting, economic history, economics, and finance.Originality/value: The article uses the original theoretical framework of Achille Mbem-be, which constitutes a useful approach to Osti accounting. …”

Analytical Derivation of the q-Factor for Slender Masonry Structures Under Out-of-Plane Seismic Action by Simona Coccia

“…In the proposed approach, valid for slender masonry structures, sliding failure is neglected, and collapse is assumed to occur when, at the end of the seismic excitation, the rotation of the structure reaches a value equal to its slenderness. Based on this criterion, it is possible to derive a formulation for the q-factor as a function of a dimensionless parameter that combines the geometric characteristics of the slender structure and the period of the applied accelerogram. …”

Mobile Robot Path Planning Based on Enhanced Dynamic Window Approach and Improved A∗ Algorithm by Hongxia Yang, Xingqiang Teng

“…In the improved A∗ algorithm, in order to improve the algorithm efficiency, so that a single planning path can pass through multiple target points, the search point selection strategy and evaluation function are optimized. In order to achieve local obstacle avoidance and pursuit of dynamic target points in dynamic and complex environments, an online path planning method combining enhanced dynamic window algorithm and global path planning information is proposed. …”

The early-life gut microbiome in common pediatric diseases: roles and therapeutic implications by Taiwo Bankole, Yuanyuan Li

“…During this critical window, the gut microbiome is vulnerably subjected to environmental factors, leading to transient microbial reprogramming and functional changes. The dynamic early-life intestinal microbiota is frequently manipulated by environmental factors, which impact the composition and function of the gut microflora, hence confer to short-and/or long-term health outcomes extending to adulthood. …”

Research on Dynamic Performance of Locomotive Wheelset Driving Unitwith Gear Teeth Cracks by FAN Jiafeng, DENG Tiesong, LI Fuzhong, SU Zhaoyi

“…Moreover, without the inner FE (force element) gear-pair of SIMPACK, thegear-pair meshing model was realized through the methods of moved markers, function expressions, input functions and so on. The resultsshowed that the difference between gear-pair meshing model and FE gear-pair was smaller than 10 percent; The meshing vibration ofgear-pair performed the time-varying character of the meshing stiffness; The reference circle crack would have a time-domain impact onthe dynamic performance of wheelset driving unit; Through the basic frequency of the smaller gear which was exhibited by the wheelsetdriving unit, the impact could be detected through frequency-domain method when the crack reached to some certain depth (i.e. thestiffness reduced to some certain value). …”
