In this paper, we apply Differential Transform Method (DTM) coupled with Laplace Transform Method to solve wave equations and wave-like equations which arise very frequently in physical problems related to engineering and applied sciences. It is observed that the proposed techniq...

Geometric quantities in all orthogonal curvilinear co-ordinates are built upon Euclidean geometry. This geometry is founded on a well known metric tensor called the Euclidean metric tensor. Riemannian geometry which is assumed to be more general than the Euclidean geometry was fo...

The one-dimensional superlattice (SL) based on a monolayer graphene modulated by the Fermi velocity barriers is considered. We assume that the rectangular barriers are arranged periodically along the SL chain. The energy spectra of the Weyl-Dirac quasi-electrons for this SL are c...

The signs of stability of the sea ice thickness from the latest Cryosat-2 results for the Arctic sea ice thickness are consistent with the Lower Troposphere Temperatures (LTT) and the sea ice extension results available since 1979. In the longer term, the current Arctic climate i...
