Symmetry Analysis, Invariant Solutions, and Conservation Laws of Fractional KdV-Like Equation by Maria Ihsane El Bahi, Khalid Hilal

“…In this paper, Lie symmetries of time-fractional KdV-Like equation with Riemann-Liouville derivative are performed. With the aid of infinitesimal symmetries, the vector fields and symmetry reductions of the equation are constructed, respectively; as a result, the invariant solutions are acquired in one case; we show that the KdV-like equation can be reduced to a fractional ordinary differential equation (FODE) which is connected with the Erdélyi-Kober functional derivative; for this kind of reduced form, we use the power series method for extracting the explicit solutions in the form of power series solution. …”

On one approach to the numerical modeling of the strain-stress state of layered rock mass by Sergey Yurevich Lobanov, Alexander Baryakh

“…The solution of a test problem shows that the constructed numerical procedure of mathematical modeling ensures fairly accurate calculations and highly effective computer-aided realization. It was demonstrated that the proposed semi-analytical scheme for constructing the finite-dimensional analog of the variational equation can be effectively used for the assessment of safety conditions of the potash salt development within the Upper Kama salt deposit.…”

Tissue Staining (Chromoscopy) of the Gastrointestinal Tract by M Brian Fennerty

“…Chemical agents are applied to the gastrointestinal mucosal surface to identify specific epithelia or to enhance the mucosal surface characteristics of the gastrointestinal epithelium. This aids in the recognition of subtle lesions (ie, polyps) or allows directed targeting of biopsies (ie, sprue or Barrett’s esophagus) to increase the yield of endoscopic diagnostic accuracy. …”

Islam, Muslims, and the Coloniality of Being: Reframing the Debate on Race and Religion in Modernity by Iskander Abbasi

“…Two areas of concern are investigated: First, how Islamophobia aided in forming the coloniality of being in ways that decolo-nial scholarship – namely that of leading Latin American decolonial thinker, Nelson Maldonado-Torres – is seemingly unaware of or downplays, and second, how a rereading of a number of the key events and figures that define a decolonial discourse on race and religion, such as the Valladolid debates (1550-1551) and the figure of Christopher Columbus, help to more rigorously conceptualize the figure of the Muslim in relation to the coloniality of being. …”
