Los Angeles , California 90095 - 1594 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA • LOS ANGELES Instability Driven Radial Transport in a Helicon Plasma

Known for their ability to produce high densities at low power, helicon discharges have found many practical uses. However, with light gases it has been found that the plasma density saturates, then falls, as the magnetic field is increased. This can be explained by the onset of a drift-type instability, whose threshold agrees well with linear theory. Measurements of radial and axial particle f...

The University of California at Los Angeles Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index.

Over the past decade, the University of California at Los Angeles Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index has been one of the most widely used instruments for the assessment of traumatized children and adolescents. This paper reviews its development and modifications that have been made as the diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder have evolved. The paper also provides a d...

Chikungunya Fever in Los Angeles, California

We report the case of a 33-year-old woman returning from Haiti, presenting to our emergency department (ED) with fever, rash and arthralgia. Following a broad workup that included laboratory testing for dengue and malaria, our patient was diagnosed with Chikungunya virus, which was then reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for initiation of infection control. This case dem...
