Impact of self-identity on social anxiety among college students: a moderated mediation model by Shuqi Guo, Jiazhong Yang, Shicong Zhang, Dongzhuo Xue, Mingxu Liu

“…BackgroundSocial anxiety is a prevalent and impairing condition among college students, often interfering with academic performance, emotional wellbeing, and social functioning.ObjectiveThis study aimed to test a moderated mediation model in which self-identity predicts social anxiety, with fear of negative evaluation (FNE) serving as a mediator and perceived social support acting as a moderator in the latter part of the pathway.MethodsA total of 328 college students (Mage = 19.48, SD = 1.02; 43.29% male) completed standardized self-report measures of self-identity, FNE, social anxiety, and perceived social support. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the proposed model.ResultsSelf-identity significantly negatively predicted social anxiety (β = −0.55, p < 0.001). …”

Rainbow trapping for advanced wave control by Sayed El. Soliman, Maria Barlou, Kosmas L. Tsakmakidis, Zi Jing Wong

“…Rainbow trapping is a wave localization phenomenon in which different frequencies are spatially separated and confined by engineering dispersion through structural gradients. Initially demonstrated in tapered metamaterial systems, this concept has since been extended to plasmonic, photonic, acoustic, and elastic platforms, where graded-index profiles, chirped periodicities, and tapered geometries are used to control the group velocity and localize wave components at distinct spatial positions. …”
