The abstract renewal equation [PDF]

, 2000
The abstract Perron-Stieltjes integral defined in the Kurzweil-Henstock sense is used for introducing Stieltjes convolutions. The approach is used for obtaining basic existence result for the abstract renewal equation which was studied e. g. by Diekmann,

Homogeneous renewal equation [PDF]

, 1991
Let F be a non-arithmetic distribution on the line R, and W be the class of bounded functions w without discontinuity of the second kind such that min{w(t − 0), w(t+0)} ≤ w(t) ≤ max{w(t − 0), w(t+0)}, ∀ t ∈R.In this paper, we show that the solution of ...

Caregiver Perspectives on the Burden of Disease and Treatment in Uncontrolled Gout

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Uncontrolled gout (UG) refers to persistently elevated serum urate (SU) levels >6 mg/dL and ongoing gout symptoms despite use of urate‐lowering therapy (ULT). The objective of this study was to evaluate the burden associated with informal caregiving for individuals with UG.

A note on the evaluation of a storage system using an elementary renewal equation [PDF]

, 2004
We consider a storage system where a stock of k units is replaced instantaneously, when needed. A Poisson type stochastic demand is admitted. It is verified that the expected present value function of the replenishment cost of the storage system ...

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.
