The distance-inclination degeneracy limits gravitational-wave parameter estimation of compact binary mergers. Although the can be partially broken by including higher-order modes or precession, these effects are suppressed in neutron stars. In this work, we implement a new parametrization tidal neutron-star waveform, exploiting Love relations, that breaks degeneracy. relations prescribe deforma...

Love feelings can be more intense than desired (e.g., after a break-up) or less intense than desired (e.g., in long-term relationships). If only we could control our love feelings! We present the concept of explicit love regulation, which we define as the use of behavioral and cognitive strategies to change the intensity of current feelings of romantic love. We present the first two studies on ...

The present paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in a non-homogeneous isotropic crustal layer lying over a viscoelastic mantle. Both rigidity and density of the crustal layer are assumed to vary exponentially with depth. Separation of variable method has been used to get the analytical solutions for the dispersion equation for the torsional surface waves. Furt...

This study focuses on the problem of sound radiation by two concentric clamped flat plates, circular and annular, into the half-space. The system of three coupled differential equations comprising two equations of motions of plates and the wave equation, is solved exactly. Vibrations of plates are axisymmetric and time-harmonic with a single excitation frequency. The initial phase difference of...
