Creeping Ray Tracing Algorithm for Arbitrary NURBS Surfaces Based on Adaptive Variable Step Euler Method by Song Fu, Yun-Hua Zhang, Si-Yuan He, Xi Chen, Guo-Qiang Zhu

“…Although the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) could be theoretically applied to arbitrarilyshaped convex objects modeled by nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS), one of the great challenges in calculation of the UTD surface diffracted fields is the difficulty in determining the geodesic paths along which the creeping waves propagate on arbitrarilyshaped NURBS surfaces. …”

Analyzing accusation patterns between Hamas and Israel during the Al-Aqsa flood operation by Alaeddin A. Banikalef, Nisreen N. Al-Khawaldeh

“…This study introduced a rigorously defined framework for categorizing accusations in conflict discourse, contributing to both rhetorical theory and conflict communication strategies. Future research should further explore the evolving dynamics of accusation strategies, media influence, and public opinion in conflict zones to improve communication and promote reconciliation efforts.…”

CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO THE CAREER STUDIES by Larisa V. Temnova, Filipp V. Malakhov, Evelina S. Voskanyan

“…In the study it has been identified three types of career of a sociology graduate: a teacher (usually at university), a scientist and researcher, and a practicing sociologist. Using the developed theory the authors give their own definition of a career as a process of successive changes in official or professional (intra- and interinstitutional) status of an individual based on the development of professional competencies, taking into account his personal interests and needs of organization.…”

A Mathematical Overview of the Monogamous Marriage in a Multiregion Framework: Modelling and Control by Mustapha Lhous, Omar Zakary, Mostafa Rachik

“…The first control is considered as the impact of public awareness campaigns to educate virgin men and women about the benefits of marriage for the individual and the society; the second control characterizes the legal procedures, administrative complications, and the heavy financial and social consequences of divorces. The optimal control theory is applied to characterize such optimal strategies and determined numerically using a progressive-regressive discrete scheme to discuss the obtained results.…”

q-Hyperconvexity in Quasipseudometric Spaces and Fixed Point Theorems by Hans-Peter A. Künzi, Olivier Olela Otafudu

“…In this paper, we continue our studies of this concept, generalizing further known results about hyperconvexity from the metric setting to our theory. In particular, in the present paper, we consider subspaces of q-hyperconvex spaces and also present some fixed point theorems for nonexpansive self-maps on a bounded q-hyperconvex quasipseudometric space. …”

Effect of Contact Preference among Heterogeneous Individuals on Social Contagions by Yining Xu, Jinghua Xiao, Xiaochen Wang

“…Thus, we propose a social contagion model which takes the heterogeneity of individual influence and contact preference into account, and make a theoretical analysis of the social spreading process by developing an edge-based compartmental theory. We find that the competition between simple contagion and complex contagion leads to the emergence of crossover phase transition phenomena when the influence of ordinary individuals is low: it changes from being hybrid to continuous, then to hybrid, and eventually to continuous phase transition with the increase of the contact probability of homogeneous individuals. …”
