Continuous approximation of linear impulsive systems and a new form of robust stability
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)The time-scale tolerance for linear ordinary impulsive differential equations is introduced. How large the time-scale tolerance is directly reflects the degree to which the qualitative dynamics of the linear impulsive ... -
Dynamics Of The Global Wheat Trade Network And Resilience To Shocks
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-03)Agri-food trade networks are increasingly vital to human well-being in a globalising world. Models can help us gain insights into trade network dynamics and predict how they might respond to future disturbances such as ... -
Integrated estimation structure for the tire friction forces in ground vehicles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-07)This paper presents a novel corner-based force estimation method to monitor tire capacities required for the traction and stability control systems. This is entailed for more advanced vehicle stability systems in harsh ... -
Linearized Stability of Partial Differential Equations with Application to Stabilization of the Kuramoto--Sivashinsky Equation
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018-01-05)Linearization is a useful tool for analyzing the stability of nonlinear differential equations. Unfortunately, the proof of the validity of this approach for ordinary differential equations does not generalize to all ... -
A New Na+-Dependent RNA-Cleaving DNAzyme with over 1000-fold Rate Acceleration by Ethanol
(Wiley, 2016-01-15)Enzymes working in organic solvents are important for analytical chemistry, catalysis, and mechanistic studies. Although a few protein enzymes are highly active in organic solvents, little is known regarding nucleic ... -
On the optimal CFL number of SSP methods for hyperbolic problems
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)We show that the theory for strong stability preserving (SSP) time stepping methods employed with the method of lines-type discretizations of hyperbolic conservation laws may result in overly stringent time step restrictions. ... -
Phase models and clustering in networks of oscillators with delayed coupling
(Elsevier, 2017-09-19)We consider a general model for a network of oscillators with time delayed coupling where the coupling matrix is circulant. We use the theory of weakly coupled oscillators to reduce the system of delay differential equations ... -
Storey-based stability of unbraced structural steel frames subjected to variable fire loading
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Structural steel has poor fire resistance properties and often requires thermal protection. Passive thermal protection systems such as insulation for steel members by application of spray-applied fire-resistance materials ...
