A novel, exact class of solutions to the Vlasov–Maxwell system, with self– generated magnetic fields and nonuniform plasma flows, are constructed. It is shown that a gyrotropic distribution function (independent of gyrophase) does not allow equilibrium shear flow; introduction of agyrotropy is essential for the maintenance of spatially nonuniform velocity fields. The new self–consistent sheared...

We construct an infinite family of one-dimensional equilibrium solutions for purely magnetized quantum plasmas described by the quantum hydrodynamic model. The equilibria depends on the solution of a third-order ordinary differential equation, which is written in terms of two free functions. One of these free functions is associated to the magnetic field configuration, while the other is specif...

OBJECTIVE To compare responsiveness of the Harris Hip Score with generic measures (that is, the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and a test of walking speed and pain during walking) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. METHOD The first 75 cases within the population of a randomised clinical trial on manual therapy and exercise therapy were selected for secondary analysis. Experienced (self ...
