We consider a scalar conservation law in the quarter plane. This equation is approximated in a continuous kinetic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model. The convergence of the model towards the unique entropy solution is established in the space of functions of bounded variation, using kinetic entropy inequalities, without special restriction on the flux nor on the equilibrium problem’s data. As an...

We consider a gas of fermions at zero temperature and low density, interacting via a microscopic two body potential which admits a bound state. The particles are confined to a domain with Dirichlet (i.e. zero) boundary conditions. Starting from the microscopic BCS theory, we derive an effective macroscopic Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) theory describing the condensate of fermion pairs. The GP theory al...

I hey enteied the nursing staff of the Bristol Royal Infirmary on the same day, 1 /th March, 1888, Fanny being aged 26 years and Julia 22. By September, 1892, Julia was made " Charge Nurse of Wards 1/ and 18, and she remained Sister of those wards until her retirement in 1921. In March, 1891, Fanny was put in charge of the operating theatre and was Theatre Sistei until 1912, when she took charg...
