Solving The Stefan Problem with Kinetics

We introduce and discuss the Homotopy perturbation method, the Adomian decomposition method and the variational iteration method for solving the stefan problem with kinetics. Then, we give an example of the stefan problem with  kinetics and solve it by these methods.

Newton-Product Integration for a Stefan Problem with Kinetics

Stefan problem with kinetics is reduced to a system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of second kind and Newton's method is applied to linearize it. Product integration solution of the linear form is found and sufficient conditions for convergence of the numerical method are given. An example is provided to illustrated the applicability of the method.

Pygmalion in Conversation with Pierre Bourdieu:A Sociological Perspective

George Bernard Shaw's masterpiece Pygmalion deals with the social function of language and reveals that Linguistic Competence is one of the markers of social status. It presents the story of the social transformation of a flower girl into a ‘lady’ through linguistic retraining. This work has been analyzed from a variety of perspectives such as Freudian psychology and sociolinguistic perspective...
