Surrounded by Ear Candy?

Superconductors surrounded by normal materials

We consider a generalized Ginzburg–Landau energy functional modelling a superconductor surrounded by a material in the normal state. In this model, the order parameter is defined in the whole space. We derive existence of a global minimizer in weighted Sobolev spaces for both square-integrable and constant-applied magnetic fields. We then prove boundedness and classical elliptic estimates for t...

Black holes surrounded by uniformly rotating rings

Black Holes have grown to become a well accepted member of the canon of astrophysical objects. Nonetheless, there is still very little known about spacetimes containing both matter and Black Holes. But for a few exceptions (e.g. the Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse), such situations have been considered using approximation methods, perturbation techniques or pioneering, but still somewhat inaccurate...

The candy prophylactic: danger, disease, and children's candy around 1916.

By 1916, America had firmly established its international reputation as ‘‘a great candy eating nation’’ (‘‘Brooklyn Leads’’ 1). American candy consumption was by some estimates approaching half a pound per week per person; if that was an average, there were many eating significantly more (‘‘Pure Candy’’). Children, too, in the early decades of the twentieth century were buying and eating candy ...

Candy cocaine esophagus.

Reversible thermal injury to the esophagus from drinking boiling-hot liquids has been reported to produce alternating pink and white linear bands that impart a "candy-cane" appearance to the inner esophageal wall. This injury has been associated with chest pain, dysphagia, odynophagia, and abdominal pain. We describe a case of candy-cane esophagus caused by thermal injury from smoking freebase ...
