Extraction-separation of Eu(III) and Th(IV) ions from nitrate media into the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate by a phosphorylated salen extractant, bis(chlorophosphoryle)decahydro-2,4-di(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzo[d][1,3,6]oxadiazepine (DPO), is investigated. It is found that Eu(III) ions are extracted via a solvation mechanism, and the extraction of Th(IV) i...

We study the bound states of two-dimensional bright solitons in nonlocal nonlin-ear media. The general properties and stability of these multisolitary structures are investigated analytically and numerically. We have found that a steady bound state of coherent nonrotating and rotating solitary structures (azimuthons) can exist above some threshold power. A dipolar nonrotating multisoliton occur...

The role of the mycobacteriology laboratory in the diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis has become increasingly important in the human-immunodeficiency virus era. Due to the paucibacillary nature of childhood mycobacterial disease, laboratory optimisation of mycobacterial cultivation is necessary for paediatric clinical management and epidemiological surveillance. Previous studies have shown tha...
