Black Swan Event and The Stock Market Volatility Response to Shocks in Developed, Emerging, Frontier and the BRIC Markets: Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic by Nayanjyoti Bhattacharjee, Anupam De

“…Further, the developed markets in North America, and the frontier markets in Africa were associated with a symmetric volatility response. We observe that the volatility response to shocks in different regions is not uniform and varies according to the size and sign of the shock. …”

A Wideband Differential-Fed Microstrip Patch Antenna Based on Radiation of Three Resonant Modes by Taohua Chen, Yueyun Chen, Rongling Jian

“…A wideband differential-fed microstrip patch antenna based on radiation of three resonant modes of TM12, TM30, and slot is proposed in this paper. Firstly, two symmetrical rectangular slots are cut on the radiating patch where the zero-current position of the TM30 mode excites another resonant slot mode. …”

Effect of Blade Outlet Angle on Unsteady Hydrodynamic Force of Closed-Type Centrifugal Pump with Single Blade by Yasuyuki Nishi, Junichiro Fukutomi

“…Geometrically, the single-blade centrifugal impeller, commonly used today as a sewage pump, is not axially symmetric. For this reason, the static pressure around the impeller fluctuates greatly when the impeller is rotating, and not only the radial thrust but also the axial thrust shows large fluctuations. …”

Symbiosis Evolution of Science Communication Ecosystem Based on Social Media: A Lotka–Volterra Model-Based Simulation by Ming Xia, Xiangwu He, Yubin Zhou

“…The results indicate that (1) the size of the symbiosis coefficients determines the equilibrium outcome of the symbiosis evolution of scientists and social media platforms; (2) scientists and social media platforms can promote each other’s population size under the mutualism pattern, which can achieve sustainable science communication; (3) “1 + 1 > 2” effect can only be achieved under the symmetric mutualism pattern and the growth of scientists and social media platforms is more stable and sufficient than that of other patterns. …”
