Slow light in photonic crystals
, 2005 The problem of slowing down light by orders of magnitude has been extensively discussed in the literature. Such a possibility can be useful in a variety of optical and microwave applications.

Micro‐transitions and work identity: The case of academic entrepreneurs
Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary This paper examines how academic entrepreneurs—scientists who found research‐based startups while remaining in academia—construct and sustain their professional identities amid frequent transitions between academic and entrepreneurial roles.

From Particle to Purpose: A Systems‐Theoretical Model of Unity and Coherent Adaptation
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper develops a conceptual integration that bridges classical systems theories with insights from the Islamic intellectual tradition, focusing on the notion of zerre (particle) as articulated by Said Nursî. We reinterpret zerre as a systems‐theoretical agent that exhibits lawful responsiveness without autonomy, offering a new lens on how

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.In the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. election, the boundary between activism and extremism blurred, with election officials reporting violent threats and false accusations of election fraud. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, these attacks provide a unique lens for examining the consequences of being falsely labeled a criminal.

Formation of Distance‐Based Orientation: Political Identity through Relational Positioning in Israel
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Distance‐based orientation describes how pejorative labels may serve as anchor points for political identity. Existing research on political labeling has largely emphasized stigmatization, overlooking how labels may acquire durability and orienting capacity without losing pejorative force. Drawing on publicly circulating discourse, we trace positioning
