Linearized Asymptotic Stability for Fractional Differential Equations
We prove the theorem of linearized asymptotic stability for fractional
differential equations. More precisely, we show that an equilibrium of a
nonlinear Caputo fractional differential equation is asymptotically stable if
its linearization at the equilibrium is asymptotically stable. As a consequence
we extend Lyapunov's first method to fractional differential equations by
proving that if the spectrum of the linearization is contained in the sector
\{\lambda \in \C : |\arg \lambda| > \frac{\alpha \pi}{2}\} where
denotes the order of the fractional differential equation, then the equilibrium
of the nonlinear fractional differential equation is asymptotically stable

Resilience and well-being among children of migrant parents in South-East Asia
There has been little systematic empirical research on the well-being of children in transnational households in South-East Asiaāa major sending region for contract migrants. This study uses survey data collected in 2008 from children aged 9, 10 and 11 and their caregivers in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam (N=1,498). Results indicate that while children of migrant parents, especially migrant mothers, are less likely to be happy compared to children in non-migrant households, greater resilience in child well-being is associated with longer durations of maternal absence. There is no evidence for a direct parental migration effect on school enjoyment and performance. The analyses highlight the sensitivity of results to the dimension of child well-being measured and who makes the assessment.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe
Development of Transducers for NDE
Several new types of transducers are described. These include 50 - 500 MHz transducers using thin film technology and indium techniques, transducer arrays for imaging, edge-bonded transducers, and unipolar transducers
