Generalized hydrodynamics of the attractive non-linear Schrodinger equation

We study the generalized hydrodynamics of the one-dimensional classical Non Linear Schroedinger equation in the attractive phase. We thereby show that the thermodynamic limit is entirely captured by solitonic modes and radiation is absent. Our results are derived by considering the semiclassical limit of the quantum Bose gas, where the Planck constant has a key role as a regulator of the classical soliton gas. We use our result to study adiabatic interaction changes from the repulsive to the attractive phase, observing soliton production and obtaining exact analytical results which are in excellent agreement with Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figure

A survey on neoplasia in domestic species over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974 in the Republic of South Africa. I. Tumours occurring in cattle

A survey was carried out on all the bovine neoplasms recorded in the registration files of the Section of Pathology of the Veterinary Research Institute, Onderstepoort, Republic of South Africa, over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974. The 606 neoplasms were divided and tabulated into 20 groups according to body systems or tissue types. Skin, connective tissue, lymphoid tissue and ocular tumours in that order accounted for the majority of neoplasms. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent neoplasm and the 2 main sites for it were the eye and the vulva. Fibromas and fibrosarcomas made up the majority of the connective tissue tumours. The lymphoid tissue tumours, composed almost entirely of lymphosarcomas, were the 3rd most common group of tumours. Penile fibropapillomas and cutaneous papillomas were commonly encountered, and there was also a noteworthy incidence of melanomas, mesotheliomas and neurofibromas. The male and female genital tracts were relatively frequently neoplastic, due principally to the occurrence of penile fibropapillomas, vulvar squamous cell carcinomas and uterine carcinomas. The incidence of respiratory, hepatic and vascular system tumours was moderate, whilst tumours of the endocrine, central nervous, skeletal and muscular systems were rarely encountered.The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

A survey of neoplasia in domestic species over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974 in the Republic of South Africa. V. Tumours occurring in the cat

A total of 243 neoplasms were recorded in a survey of all the feline neoplasms which are reported in the registration files of the Veterinary Research Institute, Onderstepoort, Republic of South Africa, covering a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974. The tissues most commonly neoplastic were the skin, followed by the lymphoid tissue, the digestive tract and the genital system, which together accounted for 76,6% of the total tumours. Squamous cell carcinomas, the commonest type of tumour, accounted for 65 (26,7%) of the 243 neoplasms, followed by lymphosarcomas with 50 (20,5%). The majority of squamous cell carcinomas involved the skin, especially that of the ear and nose. A reasonably high proportion of these tumours also occurred on the tongue and eyelid. The commonest form of distribution for lymphosarcomas was the multicentric form, followed by the alimentary, the renal and thymic forms. Squamous cell carcinomas were the most frequent type of skin tumours, followed by basal cell tumours, mastocytomas and melanomas. The digestive tract accounted for 33 (13,5%) of the neoplasms, the 3 most commonly encountered being squamous cell carcinomas, lymphosarcomas and intestinal adenocarcinomas. The mammary gland tumours accounted for 23 (9,5%) of the total, 61% of which were carcinomas. Other tumours encountered were fibromas, fibrosarcomas involving particularly the skin, melanomas of the skin or eye, osteosarcomas, hepatocellular carcinomas and haemangiosarcomas.The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

A survey on neoplasia in domestic species over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974 in the Republic of South Africa. IV. Tumours occurring in Equidae

A survey was carried out on the neoplasms of horses, donkeys and mules which are recorded in the registration files of the Section of Pathology of the Veterinary Research Institute, Onderstepoort, in the Republic of South Africa, over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974. A total of 378 tumours are recorded, 339 of which were in horses, 32 in mules and 7 in donkeys. Sarcoids (38%), squamous cell carcinomas (23,5%), fibromas (8,2%), melanomas (8,0%), papillomas (4,5%), fibrosarcomas (3,4%) and lymphosarcomas (3,0%) accounted for 88,6% of the total. Of the 58 sarcoids for which the site or origin was determined, 46,5% occurred on the head, 32,8% on the chest and abdomen, 19% on the limbs especially below the level of the carpus or hock and 1,7% on the neck. Fifty percent of the 89 squamous cell carcinomas occurred on or around the eyes, especially on the eyelids or nictitating membrane, 23% involved the penis and/or prepuce, while just over 20% arose on the skin. The melanomas involved the skin and eye, whilst papillomas originated primarily on the skin and less frequently on the penis.The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

A survey was carried out on all ovine neoplasms recorded in the registration files of the Section of Pathology of the Veterinary Research Institute at Onderstepoort over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974. The neoplasms were divided and tabulated into 8 groups according to body systems or tissue types. Out of a total of 673 neoplasms, 436 (64,8%) were cases of jaagsiekte (pulmonary adenomatosis). Of the remaining 237 neoplasms, 41,3% involved the skin. Eighty per cent of the cutaneous neoplasms were squamous cell carcinomas which varied from well-differentiated to anaplastic. The majority occurred on the head, in particular on the ears, frontal region and on the eyelids or nictitating membrane. Several factors have been suggested to explain the high incidence of squamous cell carcinomas on the head. Lymphosarcomas were the 3rd most commonly encountered tumours, whilst a significant number of hepatocellular carcinomas also occurred. A variety of tumours of connective tissue origin were recorded, the most common of which arose from fibrous tissue and cartilage.The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

A survey of neoplasia in domestic species over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974 in the Republic of South Africa. III. Tumours occurring in pigs and goats

A survey was carried out on all the neoplasms in pigs and goats which are recorded in the registration files of the Section of Pathology of the Veterinary Research Institute at Onderstepoort over a period of 40 years, from 1935 to 1974. The tumours encountered in these 2 species were tabulated separately according to their type and site of origin. In pigs, 24 tumours were recorded, and in goats, only 21. Of the porcine neoplasms 13 (54%) were lymphosarcomas, 5 (20,8%) were cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and 2 (8,4%) were embryonal nephromas. In goats, 8 (38%) of the tumours were squamous cell carcinomas, 50% of which occurred in the perineal region. Malignant melanomas and papillomas each made up 19% of the total, whilst lymphosarcomas accounted for 14% of the total caprine tumours.The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

A survey was carried out on all canine neoplasms recorded in the registration files of the Section of Pathology of the Veterinary Research Institute at Onderstepoort over a 40-year period from 1935 to 1974. The neoplasms were divided and tabulated into 14 groups according to body systems or tissue types. A total of 3 388 neoplasms were recorded. The 5 most frequently affected body systems were the mesenchymal tissues (33,7%) the skin and adnexa (20,8%) the female genital tract (10,2%), the lymphohaemopoietic tissues (8,9%) and the male genital tract (5,8%). Mastocytomas, the most frequently encountered type of tumour, accounted for 12,7% of all the neoplasms, followed by lymphosarcomas, melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas, basal cell tumours, haemangiosarcomas and histiocytomas. A variety of mesenchymal tumours were encountered, the most common types being mastocytomas and histiocytomas as well as tumours of vascular, fibrous and adipose tissue origin. The principal cutaneous tumours included basal cell tumours, squamous cell carcinomas, perianal gland tumours and melanomas. Eighty per cent of the neoplasms of the female genital tract were mammary tumours, 50% of which were mixed mammary tumours, whilst the principal neoplasms of the male genital tract involved the testes, of which Sertoli cell tumours were the commonest type. The majority of the digestive tract neoplasms occurred in the oral cavity, the most frequently recorded types being inflammatory epulides and melanomas. Osteosarcomas, neurofibromas and thyroid carcinomas were, respectively, the most frequently encountered neoplasms of the skeletal, nervous and endocrine systems. Pulmonary adenocarcinomas, melanomas and cholangiocarcinomas were the commonest tumours of the lung, eye and liver.The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

Quaternary ferrites by batch and continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis: a comparison

Crystalline spinel quaternary ferrites MxZn1−xFe2O4 (M = Co, Ni; x = 0.2, 0.35, 0.5, 0.65, 0.8) were synthesised through conventional batch hydrothermal synthesis (HT) at 135 °C as well as via continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis (CHFS). The as prepared compounds were thoroughly characterised from a compositional (ICP-MS, XPS) and structural (XRD) point of view in order to compare the synthetic approaches and achieve a greater understanding of how the chosen approach influences the characteristics of the resulting spinel
