‘Fish in simulated water’? A Bourdieusian analysis of Chinese doctoral students' learning experiences in Southeast Asian developing countries

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract International student mobility (ISM) has historically followed a pattern of movement from developing regions to developed countries. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Chinese students pursuing doctoral studies in Southeast Asian developing countries, an area that has received relatively little ...

Strong gravitational lensing in a squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole spacetime

, 2010
We investigate the strong gravitational lensing in a Kaluza-Klein black hole with squashed horizons. We find the size of the extra dimension imprints in the radius of the photon sphere, the deflection angle, the angular position and magnification of the ...

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Dark Matter as Gravitational Solitons in the Weak Field Limit

Universe, 2020
In this paper, we will describe the idea that dark matter partly consists of gravitational solitons (gravisolitons). The corresponding solution is valid for weak gravitational fields (weak field limit) with respect to a background metric.

The Gravitational Lensing in Redshift-space Correlation Functions of Galaxies and Quasars [PDF]

, 2000
The gravitational lensing, as well as the velocity field and the cosmological light-cone warp, changes the observed correlation function of high-redshift objects.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.

Weak-lensing Approximation of Wave-optics Effects from General Symmetric Lens Profiles

The Astrophysical Journal
Gravitational lensing of electromagnetic (EM) waves has yielded many profound discoveries across fundamental physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology. Similar to EM waves, gravitational waves (GWs) can also be lensed.

Probing massive gravitons in f(R) with lensed gravitational waves

Physics Letters B
We investigate the novel features of gravitational wave solutions in f(R) gravity under proper gauge considerations in the shifted Ricci scalar background curvature (R1+ϵ).

Microlensing-Based Studies of the Unresolved Structure of AGNs and the Composition of Lensing Galaxies

Open Astronomy, 2011
Multiple images of quasars formed by gravitational lensing are typically seen through the lensing galaxy. The granulation of the galaxy in stars or other compact objects induces local (‘microscopic’) but strong fluctuations in the gravitational potential
