Recent Advances in Superconductivity and Vortex Matter: Selected Topics

Recent Advances in High-Temperature Superconductivity

After more than 15 years of intense research since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity [1], many interesting physical phenomena unique to the cuprate superconductors are better understood, and various applications have been realized. However, the underlying mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity remains elusive, largely due to the complication of numerous competing ord...

Recent Advances in 2D and 2.5D Vortex statistics and dynamics

This review paper offers both an overview of the recent developments in vortex statistics, and a detailed critical review of some of the advances as well as open problems in the area. A fruitful new direction in vortex dynamics concerns vortical systems with very large numbers of vortices in which statistical methods play a pivotal role. After a review of some of the older equilibrium statistic...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...
