Summary: This study develops and analyzes a stage-structured prey-predator model that considers refuge behavior for prey, cooperative behavior among prey and predators, and gestational delay. The presence of saddle-node, transcritical, and Hopf-bifurcations is explained analytically and numerically. The study finds that an increase in time delay causes chaotic oscillations, which can be regulated by the refuge for immature prey.

Summary: This study aims to explore the breakable blocking bugs (BBBs) through quantitative and qualitative analysis. The analysis reveals that BBBs have higher levels of involvement, longer fix time, and more complex source code compared to other bugs. The study also identifies four reasons for breaking blocking relationships between bugs and three measures adopted by developers to break these relationships.

Summary: This paper investigates second-order linear dynamical systems and applies uncertainty quantification. Through the stochastic Galerkin method and structure-preserving model order reduction, high-dimensional and small second-order linear dynamical systems are obtained. Additionally, a Hamiltonian function describing internal energy is proposed, and its properties for the stochastic Galerkin systems are examined.

Summary: In this paper, a new semi-analytical approach called General Residual Power Series Method (GRPSM) is proposed for solving fractional differential equations (FDEs). This method is simple and effective in obtaining accurate and approximate solutions for both linear and nonlinear FDEs. The graphical and numerical results are presented for various fractional orders. A comparison with other methods, such as Adomian decomposition and Homotopy analysis transform method, shows the applicability and simplicity of GRPSM. Moreover, the method is successfully applied to solve fractional ordered gas dynamics equations and drainage equations, demonstrating its practicality.

Summary: This paper presents a multi-phase iterative learning control strategy for second-order tracking systems with arbitrary initial shifts. The strategy ensures system stability and stable output through the selection of appropriate control gain, and rectifies fixed shifts using two proposed methods. Theoretical analysis demonstrates the strategy's ability to achieve complete tracking.

Summary: Despite advances in virtual reality technologies, extended VR sessions with head-mounted displays (HMDs) still face challenges in terms of comfort. In this study, a methodology using gaze-directed and visual saliency-guided paradigms for automatic stereo camera control in real-time interactive VR was proposed. The results showed that the gaze-directed approach outperformed the saliency-guided approach, both improving the overall depth feeling without hindering visual comfort in the tested virtual environments (VEs).
