A Characterization of Integral Input to State Stability

open access: yes, 2008
The notion of input to state stability (iss) is now recognized as a central concept in nonlinear systems analysis. It provides a nonlinear generalization of finite gains with respect to supremum norms and also of finite L² gains.

Single‐subject designs in character education: Methods for rigorous, contextual, and practitioner‐led research

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Character education research is often constrained by blunt methodological tools. Surveys capture breadth without depth; case studies offer richness but lack replicability; and randomised controlled trials (RCTs), though indispensable at the policy level, are costly, disruptive and ill‐suited to everyday practice with individual pupils.

Further Equivalences and Semiglobal Versions of Integral Input to State Stability

open access: yes
This paper continues the study of the integral input-to-state stability (iiss) property. It is shown that the iiss property is equivalent to one which arises from the consideration of mixed norms on states and inputs, as well as to the superposition of

Dynamic, Unconstrained Optimization of Secreted Enzyme Production in Fed‐Batch Fermentation Using Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reinforcement learning (RL) has been used to control a wide range of dynamic processes, especially ones that are too complex to model well or have stochastic environmental perturbations. Fed‐batch fermentations are subject to changes in starting cell growth rates and process variations that can affect cell growth and secreted target production.

Input-power-to-state stability of time-varying systems

open access: yes
When the state of a system may remain bounded even if both the input amplitude and energy are unbounded, then the state bounds given by the standard input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral-ISS (iISS) properties may provide no useful information. This

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
