Covariant Vortex In Superconducting-Superfluid-Normal Fluid Mixtures with Stiff Equation of State

The integrals of motion for a cylindrically symmetric stationary vortex are obtained in a covariant description of a mixture of interacting superconductors, superfluids and normal fluids. The relevant integrated stress-energy coefficients for the vortex with respect to a vortex-free reference state are calculated in the approximation of a ``stiff'', i.e. least compressible, relativistic equation of state for the fluid mixture. As an illustration of the foregoing general results, we discuss their application to some of the well known examples of ``real'' superfluid and superconducting systems that are contained as special cases. These include Landau's two-fluid model, uncharged binary superfluid mixtures, rotating conventional superconductors and the superfluid neutron-proton-electron plasma in the outer core of neutron stars.Comment: 14 pages, uses RevTeX and amssymb, submitte

How ripples turn into dots: modeling ion-beam erosion under oblique incidence

Pattern formation on semiconductor surfaces induced by low energetic ion-beam erosion under normal and oblique incidence is theoretically investigated using a continuum model in form of a stochastic, nonlocal, anisotropic Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Depending on the size of the parameters this model exhibits hexagonally ordered dot, ripple, less regular and even rather smooth patterns. We investigate the transitional behavior between such states and suggest how transitions can be experimentally detected.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, submitted for publication, revised versio

Staticity Theorem for Higher Dimensional Generalized Einstein-Maxwell System

We derive formulas for variations of mass, angular momentum and canonical energy in Einstein (n-2)-gauge form field theory by means of the ADM formalism. Considering the initial data for the manifold with an interior boundary which has the topology of (n-2)-sphere we obtained the generalized first law of black hole thermodynamics. Supposing that a black hole evevt horizon comprisesw a bifurcation Killing horizon with a bifurcate surface we find that the solution is static in the exterior world, when the Killing timelike vector field is normal to the horizon and has vanishing electric or magnetic fields on static slices.Comment: 10 pages, REVTEX, to published in Phys.Rev.

Partnership research with older people: moving towards making the rhetoric a reality

As nursing develops closer partnerships with older people in delivering care, it also needs to develop partnerships in order to create the knowledge base for practice in a way that challenges professional hegemony and empowers older people. However, the process of developing partnerships in research takes place against a background of academic research traditions and norms, which can present obstacles to collaboration. This paper is a reflection on the issues that have arisen in three projects where older people were involved in research at different levels, from sources of data to independent researchers. It points to some of the areas that need further exploration and development
