Sociological phenomena as multiple nonlinearities: MTBI's new metaphor for complex human interactions by Christopher M. Kribs-Zaleta

“…This article reviews these studies and their common structures, and identifies a new mathematical metaphor which uses multiple nonlinearities to describe the multiple thresholds governing the persistence of hierarchical phenomena, including the situation termed a ``backward bifurcation'' in mathematical epidemiology, where established phenomena can persist in circumstances under which the phenomena could not initially emerge.…”

The Synthesis of π,n-Complexes of 1-Thio-1,3-dienes with Chromium Group Metals. The Inner-Sphere Hydrophosphorylation of α-Enethiones by Kuramshin A.I., Kolpakova E.V., Kuramshina E.A., Cherkasov R.A., Galkin V.I.

“…Quantum-chemical calculations reveal geometry, electron structure, and formation free energies of these complexes, as well as factors governing the coordination mode. Hydrophosphorylation of the complexes begins from the attack of H-dialkylphosphonate towards the thiocarbonyl group; the generated organometallic α-mercaptophosphonates subsequently undergo the mercaptophosphonate-thiolphospate and thiolphosphate-thionphosphate rearrangements with organ-ophosphorus compounds remaining bound to the metal’s core.…”

Dance Tourism Business Models in Seville and Buenos Aires: dimensions of meaning of intangible cultural assets in destination management by Tatjana Thimm

“…Moreover, as intangible world cultural assets, flamenco and tango have acquired considerable importance for the destination image of both cities. The ‘governance of global value chains’ model of Gereffi et al. (2005) is here applied in adapted form to flamenco and tango dance tourism in order to derive dimensions of meaning in destination management.…”

Portfolio Selection with Liability and Affine Interest Rate in the HARA Utility Framework by Hao Chang, Kai Chang, Ji-mei Lu

“…This paper studied an asset and liability management problem with stochastic interest rate, where interest rate is assumed to be governed by an affine interest rate model, while liability process is driven by the drifted Brownian motion. …”

Influence of temperature-dependent viscosity on the MHD Couette flow of dusty fluid with heat transfer by Hazem A. Attia

“…The upper plate is moving with a uniform velocity while the lower is kept stationary. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are solved numerically and some important effects for the variable viscosity and the uniform magnetic field on the transient flow and heat transfer of both the fluid and dust particles are indicated.…”

A perturbation-based model for rectifier circuits by Vipin B. Vats, H. Parthasarathy

“…A perturbation-theoretic analysis of rectifier circuits is presented. The governing differential equation of the half-wave rectifier with capacitor filter is analyzed by expanding the output voltage as a Taylor series with respect to an artificially introduced parameter in the nonlinearity of the diode characteristic as is done in quantum theory. …”

« Peurs » et pratiques répressives : mobilisations musulmanes et pouvoir éthiopien (2011-2014) by Jean-Nicolas Bach

“…Starting from these unprecedented events, this article doesn’t focus primarily on Islam in Ethiopia but rather on what these recent events tell us about the way EPRDF has been governing the country. The influence of historical trajectories should not be underestimated, when Muslims have been politically marginalized since their first contact with Ethiopia in the seventh century. …”
