We present studies of the photoexcited quasiparticle dynamics in Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3Oy (Tl-2223) using femtosecond optical techniques. Deep into the superconducting state (below 40 K), a dramatic change occurs in the temporal dynamics associated with photoexcited quasiparticles rejoining the condensate. This is suggestive of entry into a coexistence phase which, as our analysis reveals, opens a gap in...

Introduction Familial Mediterranean Fever(FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease particularly frequent around the Mediterranean basin. Behçet disease (BD) is a autoinflammatory disease which distribution is mainly around the Mediterranean Sea, Middle East and Far East.Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the brain that affects people in every country of the world.It is characterized by recurrent seiz...

An identiication method for Preisach-type models of hysteresis is presented. By using a phenomenological Preisach-type model for hysteresis we can obtain an exact model for the magnetisation hysteresis in the cases of tapes with strip and with elliptical cross section geometries. With a parametrisation by Maclaurin series, it is possible to identify such a model for any other geometry. An addit...

Interface instability (or s̀ausaging’) has been a major problem in the oxide powder-in-tube tape-rolling process. The fast Fourier transform of core instabilities are ® rst performed to study the rolled tapes and to obtain quantitative information on the wavelengths and magnitudes of the nonuniform pro® les. The existing experimental observations are also re-examined and summarized. Treating thi...

Twenty areas of retinal vascular occlusion from ten eyes of 6 diabetic patients were studied by immunohistochemistry to type IV collagen (basement membranes), von Willebrand factor (endothelial cells), and to glial fibrillary acid protein (glial cells) on serial sections. In all studied lesions immunoreactivity to type IV collagen and von Willebrand factor was confined to the retinal vascular w...

In order to investigate hysteresis losses on Ag-sheathed BSCCO(2223) multifilamentary tapes, we perform hysteresis loop measurements, with the external magnetic field He perpendicular to the tape surface, for different sweep rates of the magnetic field and at different temperatures T. The experimental results show a sweep rate dependence, equivalent to a frequency dependence of the hysteretic l...
