Faced with the twin challenges of globalization and de-globalization, do religions exercise agency in these trends? In other words, do they give shape to them, or are they rather shaped by them? If the influence is reciprocal, how should the process...
Acoustic purely imaginary metamaterials (PIMs) contain loss and gain uniformly distributed in space, but in different parameters. Therefore, the PIMs contain the elements of gain and loss simultaneously. As a result, some extraordinary wave modes may...
Postcolonial democratic deepening brings new challenges to religion as a social imaginary in India. Increasing cultural differentiation and pluralization are countered by fundamentalization, but also challenge existing minority/multicultural imaginat...
The difficulty of obtaining a densely packed granular material as an initial condition is a very common problem in numerical simulations of granular materials. In this article, an Imaginary Coating Algorithm (ICA) is introduced. To avoid unreasonable...
Acoustic purely imaginary metamaterials (PIMs) slabs can support the coexistence of coherent perfect absorption and laser modes and are used to achieve negative refraction. Previous works have focused on a pair of different PIM slabs, one operating i...
In recent years, special functions have played a significant role in the investigation of different subclasses within the class of bi-univalent functions. In this work, we present and investigate two new subclasses of bi-univalent functions defined i...
