Bridging the gap between mechanistic and adaptive explanations of territory formation (2004)
Journal Article
Morrell, L. J., & Kokko, H. (2005). Bridging the gap between mechanistic and adaptive explanations of territory formation. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 57(4), 381-390. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-004-0859-5

How animals divide space can have fundamental implications for the population dynamics of territorial species. It has recently been proposed that space can be divided if animals tend to avoid fight locations, rather than the winner of fights gaining...

Objective.The relationship of self-esteem to other indicators of psychological distress such as anxiety and depression has seldom been explored in relation to antenatal care. However, there is increasing evidence that low self-esteem has a significan... Read More about Self-esteem and mental health during early pregnancy.

Controllability and elimination of impulsive modes in descriptor systems (2004)
Journal Article
Hou, M. (2004). Controllability and elimination of impulsive modes in descriptor systems. IEEE transactions on automatic control, 49(10), 1723-1729. https://doi.org/10.1109/TAC.2004.835392

As a refined notion, impulsive-mode controllability is suggested for the general class of linear continuous descriptor systems. This notion reveals rich properties of the general descriptor systems in terms of admissibility of initial conditions, adm...
