    Notes: In high temperature tokamak regimes, the m=1 reconnecting mode is governed by two fluid effects associated with the electron skin-depth de=c/ωpe and the ion sound radius ρs=cs/Ωci. To clarify the early nonlinear dynamics of this mode, numerical simulations of a two fluid model are presented. To simulate physically reasonable parameters in a tokamak geometry, an efficient approach is used in which only a narrow layer surrounding the q=1 surface and m=1 magnetic island must be simulated. In the usual tokamak case ρs(approximately-greater-than)de, as well as the limit ρs=0, the early nonlinear growth of the mode is faster than exponential due a broadening of the flow layer. This broadening appears to result from tension in the magnetic field lines, which acts to pull the layer open as the island grows. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Collisionless electron-temperature-gradient-driven (ETG) turbulence in toroidal geometry is studied via nonlinear numerical simulations. To this aim, two massively parallel, fully gyrokinetic Vlasov codes are used, both including electromagnetic effects. Somewhat surprisingly, and unlike in the analogous case of ion-temperature-gradient-driven (ITG) turbulence, we find that the turbulent electron heat flux is significantly underpredicted by simple mixing length estimates in a certain parameter regime (s(circumflex)∼1, low α). This observation is directly linked to the presence of radially highly elongated vortices ("streamers") which lead to very effective cross-field transport. The simulations therefore indicate that ETG turbulence is likely to be relevant to magnetic confinement fusion experiments. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Diamagnetic stabilization of ideal ballooning modes in the edge pedestal (1999)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Physics of Plasmas 6 (1999), S. 2797-2801

    Notes: The stability of the tokamak edge pedestal to ballooning modes is addressed using three-dimensional simulations of the Braginskii equations and simple analytic models. The effects of ion diamagnetic drift and the finite radial localization of the pedestal pressure gradient are found to be strongly stabilizing when δ〈δR, where δ is the pedestal half-width and δR∼ρi2/3R1/3 in the center of the pedestal. In this limit, conventional ballooning modes within the pedestal region become stable, and a stability condition is obtained in the two fluid system α/αc〈(4/3)δR/δ (stable) which is much less stringent than that predicted by local magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory (α/αc〈1). Given α∼q2Rβ/δ, this condition implies a stability limit on the pedestal β: β〈βc, where βc=(4αc/3q2)δR/R. This limit is due the onset of an ideal pressure driven "surface" instability that depends only on the pressure drop across the pedestal. Near marginal conditions, this mode has a poloidal wavenumber kθ∼1/δR, a radial envelope ∼δR(〉δ), and real frequency ω∼cs/δRR. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Nonlinear ω*-stabilization of the m=1 mode in tokamaks (1995)

    Notes: Earlier studies of sawtooth oscillations in Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) supershots [Levinton et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 2895 (1994); Zakharov et al., "Onset and stabilization of sawtooth oscillations in tokamaks,'' in Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research, Proceedings of the 15th International Conference, Seville, 1994 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, in press)] have found an apparent contradiction between conventional linear theory and experiment: even in sawtooth-free discharges, the theory typically predicts instability due to a nearly ideal m=1 mode. Here, the nonlinear evolution of such mode is analyzed using numerical simulations of a two-fluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. We find the mode saturates nonlinearly at a small amplitude provided the ion and electron drift-frequencies ω*i,e are somewhat above the linear stability threshold of the collisionless m=1 reconnecting mode. The comparison of the simulation results to m=1 mode activity in TFTR suggests additional, stabilizing effects outside the present model are also important. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    A method for production of cheap, reliable Pt–Ir tips (2000)

    Notes: A new method of producing Pt–Ir tips for use in scanning tunneling microscopy is described. This reproducible method is simple, cheap, fast, and avoids the use of hazardous chemicals common in many other methods. Scanning electron microscopy, time of flight–secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been applied to understand both the chemical and morphological changes that occur as a result of the etching. The method has been demonstrated on both stock Pt–Ir wire and commercial tips and has been found to dramatically enhance image quality. It is also reusable on the same tip extending the lifetime of a single tip indefinitely. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

Epidemiology and Economics of a Vulnerable Population (2005)

    Notes: Vulnerable populations generally have decreased access to health care, often present with advanced disease processes and experience poorer health outcomes compared to the general population. Here we report on the epidemiology and economics of a vulnerable population with chronic wounds served by an academic medical center that is the tertiary health care provider and referral center for the state of Mississippi. Data are being collected to determine if aggressive management and treatment improves health outcomes. The epidemiology of our population indicates that 48% are over 60 years of age; 45% are between 41–59 years of age; and 7% are under 40 years of age. About 61% are female and almost 39% male. Our vulnerable population is composed of 51.6% African Americans; 6.5% Native Americans; and 3.2% Hispanic Americans; with the remaining population or 38.7% Caucasian. The etiologies of wounds seen are 31% diabetic/neuropathic and 28.5% venous; followed by smaller percentages of surgically treated diabetic and venous wounds. We have found that this population commonly presents with a single wound, but that more than half (〉50%) present with two or more wounds. A majority of these individuals (77%) visit the clinic more than two times, with most, or 44% visiting the clinic from two to five times. A smaller percentage, or about 30% visit the clinic six or more times. About 61% are either Medicare or Medicaid, or a combination, while the remainder are covered by private insurance (23%), workman’s compensation (3.2%), or are self-pay (12.9%). Despite this profile, the aggressive integration of a social worker in our clinic results in 35.5% being followed by home health. Thus, we will present data on whether the opening of a specialized treatment center results in better health outcomes in vulnerable populations once individuals receive appropriate referral and treatment.

    Two-fluid magnetohydrodynamic description of the internal kink mode in tokamaks (1992)

    Notes: The two-fluid linear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory of the internal kink mode is studied in finite β regimes relevant to recent high-temperature tokamak experiments. It is found that the scale length of the plasma motion decouples due to the Hall term from the scale length of the current layer and becomes the "ion-sound Larmor radius'' ρs=cs/Ωci, where cs=(square root of)(Te+γiTi)/mi is the ion-sound speed (γi=5/3 for adiabatic ions), and Ωci is the ion-cyclotron frequency. The predictions of two-fluid MHD for the m=1 reconnection mode are shown to be in good quantitative agreement with analogous results of kinetic studies. An important nonlinear consequence of this relatively large scale length for the plasma motion is that the reconnection time in Kadomtsev's model becomes τ = τ*Aa1/1/ρs∝ a1/1R(square root of)n/[(1 − q0)(square root of)Te+(5/3)Ti], which seems able to account for the fast sawtooth crash.
