Useful Solutions for Plane Wave Diffraction by Dielectric Slabs and Wedges by Gianluca Gennarelli, Giovanni Riccio

“…The resulting diffraction coefficients are expressed in terms of the geometrical optics response of the considered structure and the standard transition function of the Uniform Geometrical Theory of Diffraction. Numerical tests and comparisons make evident the effectiveness and reliability of the presented solutions.…”

‘Making audible to one a roar of sound where others find perfect stillness’: Soundscape in George Eliot’s The Lifted Veil and the physiological acoustics by Lilia Miroshnychenko

“…The article suggests how the ideas in physiological acoustics summed up and further developed by Hermann von Helmholtz, a German physicist, whose figure won popularity among Victorian intellectuals from the middle of the century, could be appropriate to George Eliot’s early writing. The resonant theory informs, in various ways, the soundscape of The Lifted Veil (1859), redefining the function of sound in the text—as a literary device, a means of characterisation, a narrative instrument, and what’s more—a component of the author’s moral imperative of sympathy.…”

The Hopf Bifurcation for a Predator-Prey System with -Logistic Growth and Prey Refuge by Shaoli Wang, Zhihao Ge

“…Time delay could be considered as a bifurcation parameter for DDEs, and using the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction, explicit formulae are derived to determine the direction of bifurcations and the stability and other properties of bifurcating periodic solutions. …”

Recent trends in user studies: action research and qualitative methods by T.D. Wilson

“…</i> It attempted to set out what was, for the time, a novel perspective on appropriate methodologies for the study of human information seeking behaviour, focusing on qualitative methods and action research, arguing that the application of information research depended up its adoption into the managerial processes of organizations, rather than its self-evident relationship to any body of theory.…”

A Pest Management Model with Stage Structure and Impulsive State Feedback Control by Guoping Pang, Zhiqing Liang, Weijian Xu, Lijie Li, Gang Fu

“…We get the sufficient condition for the existence of the order-1 periodic solution by differential equation geometry theory and successor function. Further, we obtain a new judgement method for the stability of the order-1 periodic solution of the semicontinuous systems by referencing the stability analysis for limit cycles of continuous systems, which is different from the previous method of analog of Poincarè criterion. …”
