solitary fibrous tumors (sfts) are rare primary pleural neoplasms which have recently been reported in extra-thoracic sites. in this report, solitary fibrous tumor arising in an intra-thoracic goiter with no evidence of cervical mass in a 74-year-old obese man who was found to have a large superior mediastinal mass with tracheal deviation on chest x-ray is presented.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer has been the subject of many recent studies because it is a significant cause of death in women. This study was performed to clarify whether solitary skeletal metastasis has clinical significance compared with multiple skeletal metastasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven hundred and three patients who developed metastatic bone lesions up to September 2002 after beginning t...

In a two-uid system where the lower uid is bounded below by a rigid bottom and the upper uid is bounded above by a free surface, two kinds of solitary waves can propagate along the interface and the free surface: classical solitary waves characterized by a solitary pulse or generalized solitary waves with nondecaying oscillations in their tails in addition to the solitary pulse. The classical s...

The ambipolar radial electric field in a nonaxisymmetric plasma can be described by a nonlinear diffusion equation. This equation is shown to possess solitary wave solutions. A model nonlinear diffusion equation with a cubic nonlinearity is studied. An explicit analytic step-like form for the solitary wave is found. It is shown that the solitary wave solutions are linearly stable against all bu...

solitons are ubiquitous and exist in almost every area from sky to bottom. for solitons to appear, the relevant equation of motion must be nonlinear. in the present study, we deal with the korteweg-devries (kdv), modi ed korteweg-de vries (mkdv) and regularised longwave (rlw) equations using homotopy perturbation method (hpm). the algorithm makes use of the hpm to determine the initial expansio...

introduction percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl) is a standard, safe, and efficient method for removing large renal calculi. despite development of endourologic equipment, complications of the pcnl are still prevalent. even though therapeutic modalities such as mini-micro pcnl have been developed in recent years, the complications are a serious concern yet. the most important complication is he...

In the current study, twin wind blades are designed, fabricated and the effect of various gap ratio (g*) at various angle of attacks (α) on a next to each other twin wind blades are examined in an open-channel wind tunnel. Aerodynamic forces and moments are determined by using three-constraint force balancer. For gap ratio of zero, the aerodynamic attributes are like those of a solitary wind bl...

Head-on collision and overtaking collision between a KdV solitary wave and an envelope solitary wave are first studied in present paper by using Particle-in-cell (PIC) method in a dusty plasma. There are phase shifts of the KdV solitary wave in both head-on collision and the overtaking collision, while no phase shift is found for the envelop solitary wave in any cases. The remarkable difference...

where 3 depends’on the cross section area of the topography [see Miles’ Eqs. (5.2) and (5.3)‘]. A year later, VandenBroeck published his discovery of two smooth solitary wave solutions for the same physical model but from the perspective of direct numerical integration of Laplace equation with a free boundary and with nonlinear boundary conditions.2 One of his solitary waves is higher than the ...

We study here the existence of solitary wave solutions of a generalized twocomponent Camassa-Holm system. In addition to those smooth solitary-wave solutions, we show that there are solitary waves with singularities: peaked and cusped solitary waves. We also demonstrate that all smooth solitary waves are orbitally stable in the energy space. We finally give a sufficient condition for global str...
