In France, 50 years ago, Jean-Marie Le Pen founded a party, le Front National (now renamed Rassemblement or RN). However, was not until his daughter Marine took over Party in 2012 that began see significant electoral gains. This despite fact underlying political message remained same....

We construct exact solutions to Einstein equations which represent relativistic disks imbedded in an expanding FRW Universe. It is shown that the expansion influences the kinematical characteristics of the disks such as rotational curves, surface mass density, etc. The effects of the expansion are exemplified with non-static generalizations of Kuzmin-Curzon and Schwarzschild disks. Subject head...

Previous research has indicated that memories can be modified in conjunction with one’s attitudes, in particular, political beliefs. The current study extended this finding by focusing on the relationship between differing religious beliefs and false memories for news events. We predicted that religious people would be more inclined to remember fabricated news events positively depicting religi...

The successful development of neural prostheses requires an understanding of the neurobiological bases of cognitive processes, i.e., how the collective activity of populations of neurons results in a higher level process not predictable based on knowledge of the individual neurons and/or synapses alone. We have been studying and applying novel methods for representing nonlinear transformations ...

The performance of micro-mixers is evaluated in terms of deviations from perfectly mixed state and mixing length (i.e., device length required to achieve perfect mixing). Different variations of T-mixer are reported for improved mixing performance, including geometric constrictions/obstacles embedded in the channel wall, heterogeneously charged walls, grooves on channel base, etc. Most of the r...

In this paper, we examine national trends in Canadian history education with regard to decolonising and how those have been manifested the context of province New Brunswick’s Anglophone system. We begin outlining three key characteristics education: it has assimilationist destructive for languages, cultures, collective memories Indigenous Peoples; turned recent years an emphasis on teaching his...
