Nonequilibrium phase transitions and absorbing states in a model for the dynamics of religious affiliation [PDF]
Physica A 643, 129820 (2024)We propose a simple model to describe the dynamics of religious affiliation. For such purpose, we built a compartmental model with three distinct subpopulations, namely religious committed individuals, religious noncommitted individuals and not religious affiliated individuals.

A model for the evolutionary diversification of religions [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology Volume 267, Issue 4, 21 December
2010, Pages 676:684, 2008 We address the problem of diversification in religions by studying selection on cultural memes that colonize humans hosts. In analogy to studying the evolution of pathogens or symbionts colonizing animal hosts, we use models for host-pathogen dynamics known from theoretical epidemiology.

Ultrafast Laser Synthesis of Zeolites
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The study presents a novel ultrafast laser‐driven synthesis technique for zeolites directly in liquid. Laser pulses create a microscopic reactor that controls reaction kinetics at femto‐ and picosecond timescales. Nonlinear light‐matter interactions drive nucleation and growth, allowing the process to be paused at any stage of self‐assembly.

Verbum et Ecclesia, 2019 The contextual perspective that this article challenges is the neglect of significant contributions of indigenous African missionaries and Christians by some early missionary historiographers whose writings largely focused on European missionaries.

PLoS ONE, 2016 Individual differences in the mere willingness to think analytically has been shown to predict religious disbelief. Recently, however, it has been argued that analytic thinkers are not actually less religious; rather, the putative association may be a ...

Chemically Reactive Thin Films: Dynamics and Stability
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.What happens to a thin liquid film when chemical reactions occur inside it? By means of theoretical analysis, it is showed that such systems (which are very common in heterogeneous catalysis) become very dynamic and not only their wetting properties are strongly affected by the chemical activity, moreover their interface can undergo traveling and ...

Religious studies of cannibalism
Skhid, 2017 The article provides a comprehensive review of latest religious studies research into the phenomenon of cannibalism. All materials are supported with real-world modern examples, based on media reports and findings of primatology and anthropology. In attempt of revealing religious aspect of cannibalism the article presents interesting findings from the ...
