The presence of Visceral Larva Migrans (VLM) in a patient is reported. A 57-year- old woman suffering from right upper abdominal and suprapubic pain referred into a clinic in Khorramabad, Lorestan Province, Iran. A cystoscopy was performed and biopsy was taken. The light microscopic study showed a couple of larvae as well as mononuclear inflammatory cell- infiltration. Because occurrence of VLM...

We present results from an extensive series of simulations and analytical work on driven vortex lattices interacting with periodic arrays of pinning sites. An extremely rich variety of dynamical plastic flow phases, very distinct from those observed in random arrays, are found as a function of an applied driving force. Signatures of the transitions between these different dynamical phases appea...

Use of the highly sensitive Hokupa’a/Gemini curvature wavefront sensor has allowed direct adaptive optics (AO) guiding on very low mass (VLM) stars with SpT=M8.0-L0.5. A survey of 39 such objects detected 9 VLM binaries (7 of which were discovered for the first time to be binaries). Most of these systems are tight (separation < 5 AU) and have similar masses (∆Ks < 0.8 mag; 0.85 < q < 1.0). Howe...

The domain wall fermion formalism in lattice gauge theory is much investigated recently. This is set up by reducing 4+1 dimensional theory to low energy effective 4 dimensional one. In order to look around other possibilities of realizing chiral fermion on the lattice, we construct vortex fermion by reducing 4 + 2 dimensional theory to low energy effective 4 dimensional one on the lattice. In e...

In this laboratory work we will study the vortex lattice VL of a type II superconductor using Small Angle Neutron Scattering SANS. The sample is a single crystal of Nb, a superconductor with a Tc = 9.3 K and lower and upper critical fields of μ0Hc1 = 0.18T and μ0Hc2 = 0.4T, respectively. For external magnetic fields between Hc1 and Hc2 the superconductor is in the so-called intermediate state. ...

Vol. 9 No. 4 1997 33 Database products and other applications impose heavy demands on physical memory. The newest version of DIGITAL’s OpenVMS Alpha operating system extends its very large memory (VLM) support and allows large caches to remain memory resident. OpenVMS Alpha version 7.1 enables applications to take advantage of both 64-bit virtual addressing and very large memories consistent wi...

We realize an experimental control over the topological stability of three-lobe discrete vortex solitons by modifying the symmetry of a hexagonal photonic lattice optically induced in a photorefractive crystal. By continuously deforming the lattice wave in one transverse direction, we manipulate the coupling between lattice sites and induce or inhibit the reversal of soliton vorticity.

We describe small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies of vortex structures in the high Tc superconductor YBazCu307 in the mixed state. The SANS technique is a unique tool for probing the crystallography of a flux line arrangement in the bulk sample that can measure the values of the characteristic lengths and the effect of defects on lattice arrangement and orientation extremely accurately....

We study the energetics of vortices and vortex lattices produced by rotation in the cyclic phase of F=2 spinor condensates. In addition to the familiar triangular lattice predicted by Tkachenko for 4He, many more complex lattices appear in this system as a result of the spin degree of freedom. In particular, we predict a magnetic-field-driven transition from a triangular lattice to a honeycomb ...

Thermodynamics of type II superconductors in electromagnetic field based on the Ginzburg Landau theory is presented. The Abrikosov flux lattice solution is derived using an expansion in a parameter characterizing the ”distance” to the superconductor normal phase transition line. The expansion allows a systematic improvement of the solution. The phase diagram of the vortex matter in magnetic fie...
