Ignitor Scale-up Studies (dignitor)* Mnd

چکیده
An analysis of a scaled-up version of IGNITOR (to a major radius of 2.16 m) is discussed. The design, referred to as DIGNITOR, is a direct extrapolation of IGNITOR. The consequences from the increased size are discussed (mainly due to decreased temperature excursions). A summary of comprehensive calculations of the stresses (documented in an accompanying paper) are presented. The case of a divertor plasma configuration is analyzed. The implications of a CIT-like vacuum vessel are also discussed.

Structural Analyses, Sensivity Analyses, and Independent Confirmatory Analyses of the IGNITOR Magnet System
--Ignitor has been the first experiment proposed and designed to reach ignition conditions in magnetically confined plasmas.It is a compact ,high field machine based on the physics developed primarily by the Alcator series of experiments. Each refinement of IGNITOR has drawn from a common set of "tools": Bitter plate copper magnets; bucking/wedging interactions of the CS and TF coils; and passi...
متن کاملAccuracy of routinely-collected healthcare data for identifying motor neurone disease cases: A systematic review
BACKGROUND Motor neurone disease (MND) is a rare neurodegenerative condition, with poorly understood aetiology. Large, population-based, prospective cohorts will enable powerful studies of the determinants of MND, provided identification of disease cases is sufficiently accurate. Follow-up in many such studies relies on linkage to routinely-collected health datasets. We systematically evaluated...
متن کاملIGNITOR Physics Assessment and Confinement Projections
An independent assessment of the physics of Ignitor is presented. Ignitor is a physics demonstration experiment, with the main goal of achieving thermonuclear ignition, defined as the regime where fusion alpha heating compensates for all forms of energy losses. Simulations show that a pulse of α particle power up to 10-20 MW is produced for a period over a few seconds. Crucial issues are the pr...
متن کاملMotor neuron disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration: a tale of two disorders linked to TDP-43.
Motor neuron disease (MND) is a neurodegenerative condition long thought to be associated only with motor weakness. Recent work now shows that cognitive difficulties are present in up to half of the patients with this disorder. About 5-10% of patients with MND have a frank dementia that resembles frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Imaging studies show quantitative abnormalities that rese...
متن کاملA Systematic Review of the Screening Accuracy of the HIV Dementia Scale and International HIV Dementia Scale
BACKGROUND The HIV Dementia Scale (HDS) and International HIV Dementia Scale (IHDS) are brief tools that have been developed to screen for and aid diagnosis of HIV-associated dementia (HAD). They are increasingly being used in clinical practice for minor neurocognitive disorder (MND) as well as HAD, despite uncertainty about their accuracy. METHODS AND FINDINGS A systematic review of the accu...
