Domain wall description of superconductivity
In the present work we shall address the issue of electrical conductivity in
superconductors in the perspective of superconducting domain wall solutions in
the realm of field theory. We take our set up made out of a dynamical complex
scalar field coupled to gauge field to be responsible for superconductivity and
an extra scalar real field that plays the role of superconducting domain walls.
The temperature of the system is interpreted through the fact that the soliton
following accelerating orbits is a Rindler observer experiencing a thermal
bath.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, Latex. Version to appear in PL
Exciton trapping in magnetic wire structures
The lateral magnetic confinement of quasi two-dimensional excitons into wire
like structures is studied. Spin effects are take into account and two
different magnetic field profiles are considered, which experimentally can be
created by the deposition of a ferromagnetic stripe on a semiconductor quantum
well with magnetization parallel or perpendicular to the grown direction of the
well. We find that it is possible to confine excitons into one-dimensional (1D)
traps. We show that the dependence of the confinement energy on the exciton
wave vector, which is related to its free direction of motion along the wire
direction, is very small. Through the application of a background magnetic
field it is possible to move the position of the trapping region towards the
edge of the ferromagnetic stripe or even underneath the stripe. The exact
position of this 1D exciton channel depends on the strength of the background
magnetic field and on the magnetic polarisation direction of the ferromagnetic
film.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, to be published in J. Phys: Condens. Matte
(1S,2S,6R,7aR)-2-Benzyl-1,6-dihydroxyhexahydropyrrolizin-3-one
In the title compound, C14H17NO3, the dihedral angles show that the H atoms at two stereocenters are in a trans-diaxial configuration. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration of the molecule has been established on the basis of refinement of the Hooft and Flack parameters
(1S,2R,6R,7aS)-1,2,6-Trihydroxyhexahydro-1H-pyrrolizin-3-one
In the title compound, C7H11NO4, prepared via a Morita–Baylis–Hillman adduct, the five-membered ring bearing three O atoms approximates to a twisted conformation, whereas the other ring is close to an envelope, with a C atom in the flap position. The dihedral angle between their mean planes (all atoms) is 23.11 (9)°. The new stereocenters are created in a trans-diaxial configuration. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds link the molecules, generating a three-dimensional network. A weak C—H⋯O interaction also occurs
(1S,2E,6R,7aR)-1,6-Dihydroxy-2-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolizin-3-one
The crystal structure of the title compound, C14H14N2O5, contains two distinct conformers in the asymmetric unit. The compound has three defined stereocenters, two of them contiguous, and a C=C double bond with an E conformation. The stereocenters exhibit the same chirality in both conformers, with significant differences in the conformation of the five-membered rings of the pyrrolizine unit (both either in a twist or in an envelope form) and in the dihedral angles between the corresponding mean planes and the benzene rings. A prominent feature is a change from almost coplanar rings in one conformer to a new conformation in the second conformer, in which the mean plane of a five-membered ring is almost perpendicular to the benzene ring, with a dihedral angle 87.19 (8)°; the corresponding angle in the first conformer is 14.02 (10)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Crystallographic data were essential to confirm the configuration of the double bond, which was unclear from the available two-dimensional NMR data. In addition, reliable Flack and Hooft parameters were obtained, allowing for the correct absolute structure to be determined

Co‐existing monophasic teratoma and uterine adenocarcinoma in a female dog
Ovarian teratomas are occasionally reported in dogs; the rarest type is the monophasic teratoma,composed of tissues originating from only one germ layer. Canine endometrial adenocarcinomas are also rare in dogs and mainly affect geriatric females.
This report describes case of co-existing ovarian teratoma and uterine adenocarcinoma in a 10-year old nulliparous female Boxer presented with lethargy, anorexia and purulent vaginal discharge.
Abdominal ultrasonography evidenced pyometra and a mass in the left ovary. This was composed of
a uniform whitish tissue with multiple cystic structures. The histology revealed an atrophy of the ovarian parenchyma, compressed by a proliferation of well-differentiated nervous tissue staining positively to vimentin, S100 and neuronal specific enolase (NSE), and negatively to keratin and inhibin. The left uterine horn, whose diameter was markedly increased, showed foci of endometrial cellular atypia, evident nucleoli and mitoses, at light microscopy.
To our best knowledge, this is the first report of a coexisting ovarian monophasic teratoma and
endometrial adenocarcinoma, two rare reproductive neoplasia in dogs
