Exponential growth of positive initial energy for a system of higher-order viscoelastic wave equations with variable exponents by Amar Ouaoua, Wissem Boughamsa, Salah Boulaaras

“…Abstract This work addresses a value problem concerning a system of high-order nonlinear equations with viscoelastic terms acting in both equations and homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. Initially, we demonstrate that the system has a weak local solution by combining fixed point theory and Galerkin’s method. …”

Thermodynamic Damping in Porous Materials with Spherical Cavities by Sofia D. Panteliou, Andrew D. Dimarogonas

“…An analytical investigation of the entropy produced during a vibration cycle due to the reciprocity of temperature rise and strain yielded the change of the material damping factor as a function of the porosity of the material. A homogeneous, isotropic, elastic bar of cylindrical shape is considered with uniformly distributed spherical cavities under alternating uniform axial stress. …”

Western-Type Communications Research in the Third World by John Lent

“…Among complaints have been that the research grew up promoting business-industrial and military-psychological warfare aims (mainly of entities in the United States), and pushing for the status quo and homogenization of cultures. Much of the research was ethnocentric, myopic, culture- and timebound. …”

Dynamic Congested Traffic States of Density Difference Lattice Hydrodynamic Model with On-Ramp by Jun-fang Tian, Zhen-zhou Yuan, Bin Jia, Wang Tao

“…Under the stochastic rule, various empirical spatiotemporal patterns can be well reproduced, such as the pinned localized cluster (PLC) and homogeneous synchronized traffic (HST). Under the deterministic rule, four new types of congested traffic states, such as the stationary oscillatory congested traffic (OCT) upstream of on-ramp and the stationary and localized OCT emerging in HST, are identified for the first time. …”
