Finite-Time Passivity and Synchronization for a Class of Fuzzy Inertial Complex-Valued Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays

This article investigates finite-time passivity for fuzzy inertial complex-valued neural networks (FICVNNs) with time-varying delays.First, by using the existing passivity theory, several related definitions of finite-time passivity are illustrated.Consequently, by Pokers adopting a reduced-order method and dividing complex-valued parameters into r

Differential Production of Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen Peroxide among Drosophila melanogaster, Apis mellifera, and Mamestra brassicae Immune-Activated Hemocytes after Exposure to Imidacloprid and Amitraz

Invertebrates have a diverse immune system that responds differently to stressors such as pesticides and pathogens, which leads to different degrees of susceptibility.Honeybees are facing a phenomenon called colony collapse disorder which is attributed to several factors including pesticides and pathogens.We applied an in vitro approach to assess t
