This work presents the finite-time synchronization of a new six-term chaotic system with only stable equilibria and its circuitry implementation.The chaotic system is designed in such a way that its complex dynamical behavior, including hidden attractors, can be adjusted through only one parameter, whilst allowing transformation to chaotic flows vi

Spectral Reconstruction Using an Iteratively Reweighted Regulated Model from Two Illumination Camera Responses
An improved spectral reflectance estimation method madelaine chocolate hearts was developed to transform captured RGB images to spectral reflectance.The novelty of our method is an iteratively reweighted regulated model that combines polynomial expansion signals, which was developed for spectral reflectance estimation, and a cross-polarized imaging
Family environment and adult resilience: contributions of positive parenting and the oxytocin receptor gene
Background: Abundant research shows that childhood adversity increases the risk for adult psychopathology while research on influences of positive family environment on risk for psychopathology is limited.Similarly, a growing body of research examines genetic and gene by environment predictors of psychopathology, yet such research on predictors of
Human studies and user studies: a call for methodological inter-disciplinarity (Brenda Dervin)
Drawing on extensive literature reviews focusing, in particular, on user (and audience) research in the fields of library and information science and dark as knight horse supplement communication studies, the author describes the increasing chaos of human studies and user studies--the plethora of theories, concepts, approaches, methods, and finding
