The article presents a concept of capital management for assembling investment portfolios. Two optimization variants of a portfolio to be purchased are discussed. Portfolio I is structural, using the „traditional model...

New intervention approaches are required for dating violence (DV) prevention, given the limited results of existing programs in achieving behavioral changes. The main objective of this study was to explore the effect of ...

Abstract Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory of crime has generated significant controversy and research, such that there now exists a large knowledge base regarding the importance of self‐control in regulating an...

Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection theory (IPARTheory) provides a good theoretical framework to explain the parenting dimensions that influence children's social, cognitive and emotional adjustment. This theory develops ...

Abstract Background While malaria control is the primary health focus in Burkina Faso, the recent dengue epidemic calls for new interventions. This paper examines the implementation fidelity of an innovative intervention...

Abstract Background Physical exercise has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological approach for improving cognitive and physical function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, most existing int...

Human emotional crying remains an enigmatic phenomenon despite its universality throughout life. The Control-Arousal Signal Model (CAS) presented here is an integrative framework that unifies physiological, cognitive, an...

The two-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by Schneider and Shiffrin is tested and extended in a series of experiments. The studies demonstrate the qualitative difference between two modes of in...

Conceptual and methodological ambiguities surrounding the concept of perceived behavioral control are clarified. It is shown that perceived control over performance of a behavior, though comprised of separable components...

IntroductionReliable classification of lung nodules from computed tomography (CT) images remains a challenging problem due to variations in image intensity, noise, and unstable feature representations during deep network...

Abstract A bionic flexible manipulator driven by pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) can better reflect the flexibility of the mechanism. Current research on PMA mainly focuses on the modeling and control strategy of the pne...

This study aims to analyze the implementation of work activity programs for inmates at the Metro Class IIA Correctional Institution in supporting the main objective of the correctional system, namely social reintegration...

Obesity and its associated metabolic dysregulations, particularly Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), constitute a global health crisis. Understanding the intricate interplay of key metabolic components is crucial for effec...

This brief addressed the control design problem for a bilinear dynamical system with two approaches. The first approach is proportional-integral passivity-based control theory (PI-PBC), and the second control approach is...

Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) can be summarized as follows: it inherits from proportional-integral-derivative (PID) the quality that makes it such a success: the error driven, rather than model-based, contr...

From the Publisher: This comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory—and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATL...

Even if there is an agreed-upon, fixed social objective function and policymakers know the timing and magnitude of the effects of their actions, discretionary policy, namely, the selection of that decision which is best,...

In this paper, we discuss consensus problems for networks of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies. We analyze three cases: 1) directed networks with fixed topology; 2) directed networks with switching topol...

This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due ...

Este trabajo muestra la estrategia de control de un controlador basado en álgebra lineal para la cinemática y una técnica de control adaptable para la parte dinámica del buque. Que en el primer caso (LABC) es aplicad...

O artigo pretende reavaliar a importância dos Controles Internos da Administração Pública a partir de uma interpretação dada pela Teoria de Agência. O texto argumenta que os Controles Internos, definidos como os c...
