Stability and convergence of an implicit numerical method for the space and time fractional Bloch-Torrey equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Fractional-order dynamics in physics, particularly when applied to diffusion, leads to an extension of the concept of Brownian motion through a generalization of the Gaussian probability function to what is termed anomalous diffusion.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

US Consumer Appetite for Climate Claims on Beef Products: Does Country‐of‐Origin Matter?

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beef cattle producers have been receiving pressure to reduce methane emissions from production. Beef products with varying climate claims have recently been introduced to the retail sector, stemming from various countries‐of‐origin. Using data from a US consumer survey, we find a subset of US consumers is willing to pay a premium for Lower ...

Analysing Higher Education Institutions' Role in Sustainable Development Goals: A Systematic Literature Review Analysis and Future Directions

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the current state of the art regarding the contribution of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We conducted a Systematic Literature Review Analysis (SLRA), which integrates a traditional Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with Bibliographic Analysis (BA), on a

Linear fractional differential equations and eigenfunctions of fractional differential operators

open access: yes, 2018
Eigenfunctions associated with Riemann–Liouville and Caputo fractional differential operators are obtained by imposing a restriction on the fractional derivative parameter.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
