Lump Solutions and Resonance Stripe Solitons to the (2+1)-Dimensional Sawada-Kotera Equation by Xian Li, Yao Wang, Meidan Chen, Biao Li

“…Based on the symbolic computation, a class of lump solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional Sawada-Kotera (2DSK) equation is obtained through making use of its Hirota bilinear form and one positive quadratic function. These solutions contain six parameters, four of which satisfy two determinant conditions to guarantee the analyticity and rational localization of the solutions, while the others are free. …”

Investigation on the garnierite and limonite mixed laterite ore for nickel recovery by Zhou S.-W., Lu C., Zhang B., Li B., Wei Y.-G.

“…The phase transformation of the two ores was investigated during the heating process; dehydroxylation and recrystallization were observed and the iron oxides phase was finally transformed into the iron-containing spinel. By changing the proportion of the two ores, increasing the iron content in the sample was beneficial to the reduction of nickel. …”
