In a nonlinear optical waveguide with defocusing Kerr-type nonlinearity, we discuss the existence of a type of stationary nonlinear waves with propagation-invariant density profiles, consisting of vortices located at the vertices of a regular polygon with or without an anti-vortex at its center.These polygons rotate around the center of the system
BACKGROUND:Nutritional supplements may improve short-term growth of infants born small (preterm or small for gestational age), but there are few data on long-term effects and concerns that body composition may be adversely affected.Effects also may differ between girls and boys.Our systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effects of macronu
The en coup de sabre variant of linear scleroderma typically occurs in children.We report a bovi-shield gold fp 5 l5 unique case of adult-onset en coup de sabre scleroderma in a patient with linear localized scleroderma profunda.The patient was treated with oral steroids and oral methotrexate improving her cutaneous disease.This case highlights the
Collections of biological specimens are fundamental to scientific understanding and characterization of natural diversity-past, present and future.This paper presents a system for liberating useful information from physical collections by bringing specimens into the digital domain so they can be more readily shared, analyzed, annotated and compared
This paper presents a comprehensive study in which non-destructive testing utilizing ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), considering both pressure (P) waves and shear (S) waves, was used to assess the compressive strength (CS) of rubberized bricks.These innovative bricks were manufactured by blending lime kiln dust (LKD) waste with ground granulated b
