Robustness analysis of Cohen-Grossberg neural network with piecewise constant argument and stochastic disturbances
Robustness of neural networks has been a hot topic in recent years. This paper mainly studies the robustness of the global exponential stability of Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with a piecewise constant argument and stochastic disturbances, and discusses the problem of whether the Cohen-Grossberg neural networks can still maintain global exponential stability under the perturbation of the piecewise constant argument and stochastic disturbances. By using stochastic analysis theory and inequality techniques, the interval length of the piecewise constant argument and the upper bound of the noise intensity are derived by solving transcendental equations. In the end, we offer several examples to illustrate the efficacy of the findings

Gender Differences in PTSD: Susceptibility and Resilience
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is anxiety disorder that has been estimated to affect individuals who are exposed to traumatic events. Women are diagnosed with PTSD approximately twice as often as men. In this review, we outline the evidence of gender differences related to PTSD, and the factors of resilience and susceptibility differ between men and women
Industrial SO2 emission monitoring through a portable multichannel gas analyzer with an optimized retrieval algorithm
SO2 variability over a large concentration range and interferences from other gases have been major limitations in industrial SO2 emission monitoring. This study demonstrates accurate industrial SO2 emission monitoring through a portable multichannel gas analyzer with an optimized retrieval algorithm. The proposed analyzer features a large dynamic measurement range and correction of interferences from other coexisting infrared absorbers such as NO, CO, CO2, NO2, CH4, HC, N2O, and H2O. The multichannel gas analyzer measures 11 different wavelength channels simultaneously to correct several major problems of an infrared gas analyzer including system drift, conflict of sensitivity, interferences among different infrared absorbers, and limitation of measurement range. The optimized algorithm uses a third polynomial instead of a constant factor to quantify gas-to-gas interference. Measurement results show good performance in the linear and nonlinear ranges, thereby solving the problem that the conventional interference correction is restricted by the linearity of the intended and interfering channels. The results imply that the measurement range of the developed multichannel analyzer can be extended to the nonlinear absorption region. The measurement range and accuracy are evaluated through experimental laboratory calibration. Excellent agreement was achieved, with a Pearson correlation coefficient (r(2)) of 0.99977 with a measurement range from approximately 5 to 10 000 ppmv and a measurement error of less than 2 %. The instrument was also deployed for field measurement. Emissions from three different factories were measured. The emissions of these factories have been characterized by different coexisting infrared absorbers, covering a wide range of concentration levels. We compared our measurements with commercial SO2 analyzers. Overall, good agreement was achieved
