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
Hyperbolic fracton model, subsystem symmetry, and holography. II. The dual eight-vertex model
The discovery of fracton states of matter opens up an exciting, largely unexplored field of many-body physics. Certain fracton states\u27 similarity to gravity is an intriguing property. In an earlier work [Phys. Rev. B 99, 155126 (2019)], we have demonstrated that a simple fracton model in anti-de Sitter space satisfies several major holographic properties. In this follow-up paper, we study the eight-vertex model dual to the original model. The dual model has the advantage of illuminating the mutual information and subsystem charges pictorially, which helps to reveal its connections to various other topics in the study of holography and fracton phases. At zero temperature, the dual eight-vertex model is a discrete realization of the bit-thread model, a powerful tool developed to visualize holography. The bit-thread picture combined with subsystem charges can give a quantitative account of the isometry between the bulk and the boundary at finite energy, which is also a key issue for holography. The black hole microscopic degrees of freedom can be identified in this picture, which turn out to be encoded nonlocally on the horizon. The eight-vertex model proves to be a very helpful venue to improve our understanding of the hyperbolic fracton model as a toy model of holography
Remark on the vectorlike nature of the electromagnetism and the electric charge quantization
In this work we study the structure of the electromagnetic interactions and
the electric charge quantization in gauge theories of electroweak interactions
based on semi-simple groups. We show that in the standard model of the
electroweak interactions the structure of the electromagnetic interactions is
strongly correlated to the quantization pattern of the electric charges. We
examine these two questions also in all possible chiral bilepton gauge models
of the electroweak interactions. In all they we can explain the vectorlike
nature of the electromagnetic interactions and the electric charge quantization
together demanding nonvanishing fermion masses and the anomaly cancellations.Comment: 17 pages, latex, no figure
The seesaw mechanism at TeV scale in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos
We implement the seesaw mechanism in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed
neutrinos. This is accomplished by the introduction of a scalar sextet into the
model and the spontaneous violation of the lepton number. We identify the
Majoron as a singlet under symmetry, which makes it
safe under the current bounds imposed by electroweak data. The main result of
this work is that the seesaw mechanism works already at TeV scale with the
outcome that the right-handed neutrino masses lie in the electroweak scale, in
the range from MeV to tens of GeV. This window provides a great opportunity to
test their appearance at current detectors, though when we contrast our results
with some previous analysis concerning detection sensitivity at LHC, we
conclude that further work is needed in order to validate this search.Comment: about 13 pages, no figure

Generalized Hermite-Gauss decomposition of the two-photon state produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion
We provide a general decomposition of the two-photon state produced by
spontaneous parametric down-conversion in Hermite-Gaussian modes, in the case
that the pump beam is described by a Hermite-Gaussian beam of any order. We
show that the spatial correlations depend explicitly on the order of the pump
beam, as well as other experimental parameters. We use the decomposition to
demonstrate a few interesting cases. Our results are applicable to the
engineering of two-photon spatial entanglement, in particular for non-Gaussian
states.Comment: 14 page draft, 5 figure
Latest results from the EU project AVATAR: aerodynamic modelling of 10 MW wind turbines
This paper presents the most recent results from the EU project AVATAR in which aerodynamic models are improved and validated for wind turbines on a scale of 10 MW and more. Measurements on a DU 00-W-212 airfoil are presented which have been taken in the pressurized DNW-HDG wind tunnel up to a Reynolds number of 15 Million. These measurements are compared with measurements in the LM wind tunnel for Reynolds numbers of 3 and 6 Million and with calculational results. In the analysis of results special attention is paid to high Reynolds numbers effects. CFD calculations on airfoil performance showed an unexpected large scatter which eventually was reduced by paying even more attention to grid independency and domain size in relation to grid topology. Moreover calculations are presented on flow devices (leading and trailing edge flaps and vortex generators). Finally results are shown between results from 3D rotor models where a comparison is made between results from vortex wake methods and BEM methods at yawed conditions
