A recent comprehensive review paper has summarized the current experimental state of knowledge on question existence a poloidal component magnetic field in dense plasma focus and indirect evidence indicating its prominent role neuron emission. This Letter looks at as curved, azimuthally continuous conductor moving small but nonzero geomagnetic with along device axis. The motional electric then ...

An x-ray imaging scheme using spherically bent crystals was implemented on the Z-machine to image x rays emitted by hot, dense plasma generated a Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) target. This diagnostic relies crystal capture emission over narrow spectral range (<15 eV), which is established limiting aperture placed Rowland circle. The spherical optic provides necessary high-thr...

Treatment of hepatocytes with islet activating protein (pertussis toxin) from Bordetella pertussis blocked the ability of insulin to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity both in broken plasma membranes and in intact hepatocytes. Such treatment of intact hepatocytes with pertussis toxin did not prevent insulin from activating the peripheral plasma membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase although it ...

Abstract Microwave heating of over-dense plasmas is routinely achieved in the stellarator TJ-K. In contrast to usually applied scenarios tokamaks or stellarators, an operational regime described where occurs well below electron cyclotron frequency but still above lower hybrid frequency. energy deposited at so-called O-resonance, accompanied by a small population high-energy electrons with up 10...

low density lipoprotein (ldl) subclass pattern b is characterized by predominance of small dense ldl. subjects with pattern b tend to have higher triglyceride (tg) and lower levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c). small dense ldl is associated with increased risk of coronary disease. in this study, effect of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (niddm) on ldl size, plasma tg ...
