Resonant (p,q)-equations with Robin boundary condition

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2018
We consider a nonlinear nonhomogeneous Robin problem that has the sum of a p-Laplacian and a q-Laplacian (a (p,q)-equation). The reaction term is a Caratheodory function which is resonant at $\pm\infty$ with respect to any nonprincipal variational ...

Normalizing the Shamed Self: Stigma, Neutralization and “Narrative Credibility” in Interviews on White‐Collar Transgression

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In this article, I analyze my interviews with Mark (pseudonym), a social scientist who committed major academic fraud in over 50 top‐tier journal articles in the first decade of this century. I explain how stigma played a central role in how Mark and I shaped our interaction. I focus on how Mark, a former Professor and Dean with a distinguished career,

Generalizations of discrete Morse theory

open access: yes, 2018
We generalize Forman’s discrete Morse theory, on one end by developing a discrete analogue of Morse-Bott theory for CW complexes, motivated by Morse-Bott theory in the smooth setting. On the other, motivated by J-N.

“Time‐Tripping” and Memory‐Making: A Grounded Theory of Grounded Theory

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This paper explores the development of grounded theory methodology through the lens of memory studies, introducing the concept of “time‐tripping” as a key generic social process. The paper identifies several sub‐processes of time‐tripping, including “reclaiming,” “resisting,” “retro‐casting,” and “landscaping,” which shape the methodological “imaginary.

Perfect discrete morse functions on connected sums

open access: yes, 2017
Let $K$ be a finite, regular cell complex and $f$ be a real valued function on $K$. Then $f$ is called a textit{discrete Morse function} if for all $p$-cell $sigma in K$, the following conditions hold: begin{align*} displaystyle n_{1}=# {tau > sigma mid ...

Teaching Enjoyment and Vitality as Mediators of Cognitive Flexibility and Reflective Teaching in EFL Teachers: A Mixed‐Methods Serial Mediation Analysis

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Reflective teaching (RT) is influenced by a range of cognitive, pedagogical, and psycho‐affective factors in second/foreign language (L2) education. However, empirical evidence on the influence of psycho‐affective variables on teachers' reflectivity remains limited.

Multiparameter Discrete Morse Theory

open access: yes
The main objective of this paper is to extend Morse-Forman theory to vector-valued functions. This is mostly motivated by the need to develop new tools and methods to compute multiparameter persistence.

Modeling the Paths from L2 Use and Socio‐Affective Variables to Communication Skills: A Mixed‐Methods Approach

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous research demonstrated that communication anxiety reduces L2 learners' willingness to communicate and communication frequency, but left unexplored its impact on performance. The current mixed‐methods study investigated factors impacting L2 communication skills.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –
