Double transport barrier modes (simultaneous core and edge transport barrier) have been observed with off-axis ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak[I. H. Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511(1994)]. An internal transport barrier (ITB) is routinely produced in enhanced Dα H-mode (EDA) discharges where the minority ion cyclotron resonance layer is at ...

The fascia lata, or deep fascia of the thigh, is a complex anatomic structure that has not been emphasized as a potential source of pelvic and hip pain. This structure represents a broad continuum of fibrous tissue about the buttock, hip, and thigh that receives contributions from the posteriorly located aponeurotic fascia covering the gluteus medius muscle and from the more laterally located i...

Abstract The non-local transport nature revealed by the research in transient phenomena of toroidal plasma is reviewed. following are described: core temperature rise cold pulse, hysteresis gradient–flux relation modulation ECH experiment, and see-saw at internal barrier (ITB) formation. There two mechanisms for which cause phenomena. One radial propagation gradient turbulence. other a mediator...

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) TightRope RT (TR) was recently introduced as a novel cortical suspension device for ACL reconstruction. It has an adjustable graft loop that gives the surgeon some advantages during ACL reconstruction. We report three patients who required removal of the TR after an outside-in anatomical ACL reconstruction because of lateral knee pain. We assumed that the kn...

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing communication patterns in editorial management at ITB Press, a university book publisher within Bandung Institute Technology (ITB). Using descriptive writing, researchers describe pattern Press. Based on observations work steps carried out it is proven that all manuscripts are monitored for their existence, complete with authors ...

During an outcomes study of spasticity treatment at a developmental center for 62 residents with profound intellectual disabilities, either botulinum toxin A (BTX-A), intrathecal baclofen (ITB), or both were recommended with physical and occupational therapy. Conservators consented to BTX-A more than ITB (p = .021). Court-appointed conservators were more likely to provide consent for treatment ...

A model of internal transport barriers ~ITB! is developed that, in addition to the typical features of ITB models ~the phase transition character with a power threshold, barrier front propagation, etc.!, exhibits an oscillatory/bursty behavior close to the transition. This behavior comes from the competition between the driving and suppression mechanisms for the turbulence. The onset of the osc...

Alfvén instabilities excited by energetic ions are used as a means to reduce the central magnetic shear in a tokamak via redistribution of energetic ions. When the central magnetic shear is low enough, ballooning modes become stable for any plasma pressure gradient and an internal transport barrier (ITB) with a steep pressure gradient can exist. This mechanism can sustain a steady-state ITB as ...

BACKGROUND Acute baclofen toxicity and withdrawal can present with a constellation of symptoms making differentiation between these two entities and other potential diagnoses challenging. Baclofen withdrawal is associated with numerous complications which may require neurocritical care expertise such as respiratory failure, refractory seizures, delirium, and blood pressure lability. METHODS C...

There is some evidence for the use of intrathecal morphine as a means to provide prolonged analgesia in selective cardiac surgical patients; however, hemodynamic effects are not well defined. This study was designed effect on parameters surgery patients. In prospective, double-blind study, 100 adult patients were randomized receive either 40 mg 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine alone (intrathecal [IT...
