Ring-like Bright Monster Waves in Variable-Coefficient Partially Nonlocal Coupled NLS Equations with Directional Diffraction and External Perturbations in (3+1)D by Emmanuel Yomba

“…Partially nonlocal (PNL) variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLSEs) represent a significant area of study in mathematical physics and quantum mechanics, particularly in scenarios where potential and coefficients vary spatially or temporally. The (3+1)-dimensional partially nonlocal (PNL) coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) model, enriched with different values of two transverse diffraction profiles and subjected to gain or loss phenomena, undergoes dimensional reduction to a (2+1)-dimensional counterpart model, facilitated by a conversion relation. …”

Homes and Hands United: Bridging Housing and Labour Struggles at McMaster University by Elliot Goodell Ugalde

“…The analysis underscores that, despite Hamilton’s persistent identity as a major steel producer, the city's gradual pivot toward real estate investment and intellectual labour exemplifies David Harvey's concept of a ""spatial fix,"" redirecting surplus capital and labour into the university sector, thus complicating the intersection of housing affordability and labour precarity."…”
