Consider the quadratic family Ta(x) = ax(1-x) for x ∈ [0, 1] and mixing Collet-Eckmann (CE) parameters a ∈ (2, 4). For bounded φ, set φ˜a := φ-∫ φ dμa, with μa the unique acim of Ta, and put (σa(φ))2 := ∫ φ˜2a dμa + 2Σ i>0 ∫ phi;˜a(φ˜a o T1a) dμa. For any mixing Misiurewicz parameter a∗, we find a positive measure set Ω∗ of mixing CE parameters, containing a∗ as a Lebesgue density point, such that
This book offers a reassessment of argumentation in classical rhetoric, foregrounding its rational dimension. Moving beyond introductions, it provides insights from Aristotle, Quintilian, and other ancient thinkers while addressing common misconceptions and offering clarifications that are particularly valuable for the rhetorical critic.Adopting a Scandinavian rhetorical perspective, this book arg
OBJECTIVES: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the benefits and harms of acupuncture for the treatment of infantile colic.
Purpose: To explore the association of frailty with mortality, functional outcome, and health status after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Methods: This is a cohort-based secondary analysis of the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TTM2) trial, an international, prospective, multicentre study. Frailty was assessed using the Clinical Frailty Scale
This paper presents and discusses results from the research project LETS 2050 that studies the governance challenges of a transition to a low-carbon transport and energy system in Sweden by 2050 (www.lets2050.se ). A key starting point of the project was that a low carbon transition is technically possible and economically feasible, while the main challenge is political. At the moment there is an
Most people recognize packaging as necessary with respect to its protective functions, but some doubt that the packaging industry is providing solutions that are good from a socioeconomic/ecological point of view. Packages influences lifestyles as well as the standard of living and people’s behavior, and therefore must be considered in areas of behavioral science and communication. The central rol
The servo problem for a wide class of nonlinear system is considered.A quantitative bound on system trajectories is derived. For piecewise linearsystems the bound is shown to be computable in terms of linear matrixinequalities.
Simmons (1990) has introduced an extended authentication model where caution is taken both against deceptions from an outsider (opponent) and against some forms of deception from the insiders (transmitter and receiver). Codes for this model are called authentication codes with arbitration, or simply A2 codes. A new construction of authentication codes with arbitration is proposed, which uses codes
An extended Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) Lemma for positive systems is derived. The main difference compared to earlier versions is that non-strict inequalities are treated. Matrix assumptions are also less restrictive. Moreover, a new equivalence is introduced in terms of linear programming rather than semi-definite programming. As a complement to the KYP lemma, it is also proved that a symmetri
