Making a difference in Ethiopia.
Facial surgery in Ethiopia
We follow a group of Yorkshire surgeons and their colleagues performing facial surgery on children from the poorest parts of rural Ethiopia. The children are suffering from Noma - a flesh eating disease which leads to horrendous facial deformities.
Noma fact file
Noma is an acute gangrenous infection affecting the face.
First described clinically by surgeon Carolus Battus from the Netherlands in 1595. Cases were also found in Nazi concentration camps where victims died as a result of malnutrition.
Noma had disappeared from most of Western Europe by the late 19th Century due to improved nutrition and hygiene among poor people.
The treatment of Noma became possible with the discovery of penicillin and the development of reconstructive surgery.
Noma remains the face of poverty in poor, underdeveloped developed countries.
Young children living in extreme poverty with malnutrition are at high risk.
Starts with mouth ulcers. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics and immediate nutritional rehabilitation important.
If left untreated, the ulcers develop into full-blown Noma very quickly. The cheeks or lips begin to swell - after a few days, the swelling increases and a blackish furrow appears and the gangrenous process starts. When the scab falls away, a gaping hole is left in the face.
The Noma mortality rate can be as high as 90%.
Survivors are left with facial disfigurement and functional impairment.

Ethiopia is a welcoming country but one that struggles with a history of war, disease and famine.
Who can forget the images from 1984 of children dying in the streets?
Even today, half the population lives under the poverty line and one child in every 10 will die before its first birthday.
Hidden among the statistics of Ethiopia are the children who suffer with Noma - a terrible disease that eats the flesh from their faces.
It targets those who are malnourished. What starts off as an ulcer rapidly turns into a gangrenous infection.
Ninety per cent will die - the rest left to suffer with appalling scars and social exclusion.
The survivors are often left unable to speak or eat with devastating consequences.
Children with the condition turn up at their local doctors - usually in an advanced state of the disease.
They are often in a terrible state with half their faces missing - without help they'll die or suffer from facial disfigurement.
We follow a team of medics from Methley Park Hospital in Leeds - and their colleagues from London and Holland - who are trying to help Noma patients.
LeRoux Fourie is an eminent plastic surgeon based in Leeds.
He's been asked by the charity Facing Africa to assemble a team to travel to Ethiopia to operate on the victims of Noma.
It's a tough challenge but one which will make a positive impact on the lives of people with this condition.
"We can make such a difference - these people have nothing," says LeRoux.

Facing the facts
Facing Africa has identified 18 people from the remote and poor region of Harar to be brought to the city's main hospital.
The work carried out in the remote and poor regions was carried out by Project Harar Ethiopia, a partner charity of Facing Africa, which searches for and supports patients in isolated regions of Ethiopia.
Facial palsy before treatment.
As word spreads that the medical team is in town more people turn up - some have travelled for days. But not everyone can be treated - for some the deformity is just too great.
In the end, 38 patients are identified who can be treated on the basis of need and priority.
One of the first to be treated is a young woman called Tess Fohassen - her operation is expected to take 90 minutes.
It's a simple procedure and one the local doctors can learn to perform.
Tess has been living with Noma since she was just one year of age.
She's one of the easier patients to treat.
But it doesn't come without a cost, as LeRoux explains:
"There's something we can do for her. But... she'll lose her teeth."
For others, there are no quick fixes. This is likely to be the first operation in a process that will be long and painful.
LeRoux Fourie, a Consultant Plastic Surgeon from Methley Park Hospital in Leeds tells us what it was like to go out to Africa in this web exclusive...
Changing lives in Africa
"Having been involved in the treatment of Noma patients in Sokoto, Nigeria in 2004, I was excited to be invited to Ethiopia in October 2007.
Facial disfigurement after surgery.
"We were asked to put a team together by the Facing Africa Charity.
"The mission was a step into the unknown for the team as none of us had worked in Ethiopia before.
"We were lucky to have Dr Klaas Marck, a Dutch Plastic Surgeon and a world expert in Noma surgery joining us as medical co-ordinator.
"The rest of the team was made up of two Maxillofacial Surgeons, an Anaesthetist, a theatre sister, an operating department practitioner (to assist the anaesthetist) and a Plastic Surgeon (myself)."
Facing the challenge
"The first day was spent in outpatients where about 40 patients were assessed and theatre planning lists drawn up.
"Many of the patients required two operations: the first to prepare the skin flaps (bits of skin and muscle with a specific blood supply) and remove diseased teeth.
Treating a young boy in Ethiopia.
"The biggest challenge faced Joseph, the anaesthetist, as these patients' jaws were fused together and intubation had to be done via a fibre optic scope.
"During the first week we were also asked to see more patients with quite severe disfigurement or advanced facial cancers.
"Unfortunately we could not operate on all the patients we saw because of either a lack of theatre time or the complex nature of the disease.
"Part of our remit was also to teach the local surgeons surgical techniques and we consciously made the decision to teach the easiest, least complicated procedures that they could carry on doing when the surgical team left."
Fatigue and frustration
"Forty four procedures were carried out over 10 days, some very complicated, but life changing for the patients involved.
"The fatigue from operating long hours and the frustration, of not being able to help every one was balanced out, and sometimes exceeded, by the sense of changing lives and making a difference.
"Will we go back?
Helping children to have better lives.
"The next team is planning a trip in April 2008 and the Yorkshire group will go in October 2008.
"We have come up with possible solutions to problems we encountered.
"More instrumentation and material is needed, and 'follow up' in the week when the team leaves needs to be addressed.
"But all in all we made a difference, not just to the patients involved but also in teaching new techniques to the local surgeons, anaesthetic staff and theatre personnel.
"A little bit of Yorkshire has hopefully had an impact in a small area of Ethiopia."

Sawyer Demo & New Quad
A multi-phased transformational project that will create a new pedestrian friendly green space/academic quad in the heart of campus and complete the east/west axis from the 62' Center to the new Sawyer Library.
Phase One 2015: During the summer of 2015 the old Sawyer Library was demolished and replaced with temporary blacktop sidewalks and turf. A new plaza was created in front of Stetson Hall to compliment the significance of that historical structure and complete the entrance to the new Sawyer library. The parking lot behind the First Congregational Church was re-built, a new thirty space lot was created behind Chapin Hall and the south end of Chapin Drive was widened to accommodate the changes that will be implemented in the summer of 2016.
Phase Two 2016: Chapin Drive will be closed to through traffic with access only to the First Congregational lot from Main Street. The south end of the drive will be returned to two-way service to accommodate that change. Automatic bollards will be installed at critical locations to allow access for emergency vehicles and occasional deliveries to the front of Chapin and Paresky. The temporary blacktop sidewalks in the quad will be replaced with concrete walks and the extensive landscape plan within that space will be implemented. Concrete walks that traverse the quad at various locations will also be added and to this end, we encourage all to stray off the blacktop paths in an effort to create more convenient and logical paths to your destinations. In this way we will have a better idea as to final locations for these walks.
A new rain garden/bio-swale will be established on the south side of Hollander Hall to mitigate water runoff from the site. The existing concrete stairs that connect Chapin plaza with the new quad area will be replaced with a series of granite steps surrounded by large marble blocks that will create opportunities for gathering and social interaction. Chapin Drive and the plaza in front of Chapin Hall will also be reconstructed with brick and granite pavers that will complement the more predominantly pedestrian features of these spaces.
We look forward to the completion of this project and the beautiful addition that this new quad will make, on so many levels, to this campus.

The Resource Training Center – which offers a wide variety of services, including the state Drinking Driver Program for those convicted of an alcohol- or drug-related driving violation, and Alive at 25, a unique program that teaches young drivers to change how they approach driving through role playing, workbook exercises and interactive media segments – recently issued a special challenge to parents with teen drivers.
The center, in the Harlem Road Community Center, 4255 Harlem Road, Amherst, encouraged parents to visit safercar.gov/parents and regularly share with their children "5 to Drive," five specific rules designed to help save the lives of more teenage drivers and soon-to-be teen drivers:
• No cellphones while driving.
• No extra passengers.
• No speeding.
• No alcohol.
• No driving or riding without a seat belt.
While these seem obvious, a recent survey showed only about 25 percent of parents have serious talks with their kids about the key components of safe driving. And although teens cannot legally purchase or possess alcohol, nationally 27 percent of teen drivers killed in 2011 had some level of alcohol in their systems. Teens are also the age group most likely to be distracted by texting or dialing on cellphones while driving, creating dangerous consequences. Motor vehicle crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens in America.
Monica Farrar, director of The Resource Training Center, said in a news release, "We want to remind parents that they still have a lot to teach their teen drivers, and they should talk it out and always set the rules before their teens hit the road."
For more information about the center, call 983-2258, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit wnyresourcetraining.org.

My cat should be able to poop in your flower bed without fear of falling prey to some wild animal. Shame on you.
But Wax On makes the pussy more palatable, or so I hear.
i never minded the hair.
its the not-so-freshness that i could do without.
Well I'm gay, so that's understandable.
now that i'm thinking about it today at work, i actually MISS the hair.
I agree with Max. It's not the hair that's a problem, it's the not-showering-beforehand.
Its the "not-showering-beforehand" comments that are a problem... a problem for you never getting any again, shower or now shower.
@10: Unless you included my fiancee on the CC: list for your "Do not shag this man" bulletin, I doubt your prediction will come true. And even then... I have my ways.
But really, I don't think hopping in the shower together before going down on a woman is too much to ask. Certainly I would not expect anyone to chomp on my furry bits without a quick wash first. Not even the ones who like that gamey smell.

There was a bright flash in the sky ... and then the lights went out.
Residents in southwest Okeechobee County found themselves without power Wednesday evening after lightning struck a power pole. According to Florida Power and Light, the outage affected 157 homes.
The thunderstorm that raged off and on did not appear to be anything out of the ordinary. But around 7:45 p.m., a large lightning bolt lit up the sky. Residents in the area of the strike reported hearing an explosion. And then everything went dark.
For many, it was a test of their preparedness. Do you know where the flashlights are? Do the flashlights have fresh batteries?
Something to remember in case of a power outage: The sooner it is reported, the sooner it will be fixed. And the more people who call, the more motivated the power company will be. Don't assume someone else will report it. I happened to be the first person to report this particular outage. I know this because the FPL automated response told me no one else in the area had a problem and suggested I reset the breaker. But while I was still on the line, others apparently called in too, because the message changed to tell me that an FPL crew was on the way.
If you need to report a power outage, do you know the number? Take a minute to store the emergency number in your cell phone or post a list of emergency numbers next to your "land line" phone, so that you won't have to search for a telephone book by flashlight. Florida Power and Light's number is 1-800-226-3545. Glades Electric's emergency number is 800-226-4024. (Remember that if your "land line" phone includes an answering machine or has a cordless handset and thus requires electricity, it won't work in a power outage. Consider investing a few dollars in an old-fashioned phone that just plugs into the telephone outlet.)
Wednesday evening, the FPL crew was able to restore service to many customers by 9:15 p.m. and the rest by 1:30 a.m. Thursday. The blackout provided time to reflect on what would have happened in an extended power outage. With a tropical storm headed our way, now is the time to prepare, even if it only means putting fresh batteries in the flashlights.

text: I am working with a wpmu installation. We are setup to install plugins by using subversion to copy the files to our server, then logging into the super admin to activate plugins for the sites that use them. I successfully installed two other plugins this way, but wp-pagenavi does not work; I do not see it on the list. It is in the folder on the server, but not appearing when I log into WordPress and click on the Plugins menu. Research hasn't turned up a solution. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Having survived their voyage to Carcassonne, you might expect pensioners Terry and Monica Darlington and their whippet, Jim, to retire to a comfortable corner of their favourite pub. But no, they looked to the New World for an extraordinary new adventure...
No-one had ever sailed an English narrowboat in the US before, for reasons that became abundantly clear during the 9-month voyage of the Phyllis May - including 30-mile sea crossings, blasting heat, tornadoes, hurricanes and all manner of intimidating wildlife. But the real danger came from the locals: the Good Ole Boys and Girls of the Deep South. Colonels, bums, captains, planters, heroes, drunks, gongoozlers, dancing dicks and beautiful spies - they all want to meet the Brits on the narrow painted boat and their thin dog and take them home and party them to death. Beautifully written, lovingly observed, and very funny, Narrow Dog to Indian River takes you on a dangerous, surprising and always entertaining journey as a thousand miles of the little-known South-East Seaboard unfold at six miles an hour- the golden marshes of the Carolinas, the incomparable cities of Charleston and Savannah, and the lost arcadias of Georgia and Florida.

Read an Excerpt
Thier gods are not our gods
THE TROUBLE WITH YOU IS YOU ARE OBSESSED with the USA, said Monica. The GIs gave you too much gum in the war and you read too many comics and saw too many films-too much Captain Marvel, too much Tarzan, too much Terry and the Pirates, too much Alan Ladd. But America will crush you like it always has. Remember after the New York Marathon, when that gay fireman went off with you over his shoulder? If I hadn't come along you would be Tits Magee now, the Limey Queen of Greenwich Village. I was in a bit of a state, I said. He was trying to help-he was very nice.
What about when you opened an office on Madison Avenue and lost us a fortune twice? Now you want to sail down the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. It is eleven hundred miles long. There are sea crossings bigger than the English Channel. There are flies. There are alligators. There are winds that blow at two hundred miles an hour. Ten thousand people drowned in Galveston and look what happened to New Orleans. And you want to sail down it in a canal boat six feet ten inches wide. There's no such thing as a wind of two hundred miles an hour, I said-the air would catch fire. And Galveston and New Orleans are somewhere else-they are on the Gulf of Mexico.
But that's where you want us to go, isn't it? A narrowboat on the Gulf of Mexico, and you have conquered the US or died in the attempt. And Jim has to die with us. You and me are seventy; we've had our lives, but Jim's only five. He knows you are going boating again-the way he looks at us and shivers. This isn't the Trent and Mersey Canal, it's not the Thames at Henley, it's not the Rhône-this is a bloody wilderness, halfway round the world. You could stay at home, I said.
You would never come back. Your bloated corpse will be found in some deserted bayou, half eaten by alligators, with three times the permitted alcohol level.
We'll go over and do a recce-check out both ends of the journey:Virginia and Florida. Trust me-I would never do anything to upset my Mon. Slightest problem, we'll stay at home. How about rednecks and bikers, are they a slightest problem? How about gun nuts and gangsters? How about snakes and poison ivy and rip tides? How about hip-hop and preachers on the radio for a year? How about you have always buggered it up in America and now you are going to do it again? I knew there was something funny about you from the start- just because you went to Oxford and liked poetry I thought you were OK. In fact you are a bloody lunatic, and I don't know what I ever saw in you.
It was my pilgrim soul, I said, and my commanding presence, and my wild, careless laugh.
I could have married that Frenchman, said Monica. He looked like Yves Montand.
HALFWAY UP THE EAST COAST OF THE USA, Chesapeake Bay reaches a hundred miles towards Washington. At the mouth of Chesapeake Bay you turn south into the Elizabeth River. On the left is Norfolk, and on the right, Portsmouth. From our hotel room over Norfolk we looked down the river, a quarter of a mile wide. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway begins here, and follows the river for seven miles, and then sets out across the Great Dismal Swamp. We didn't know much about the Great Dismal Swamp, but we were not sure we liked the sound of it.
Over the river a US Navy aircraft carrier, and nearer to us a ferry crawling between the two cities; wood and rails, its false paddle-wheel turning. The sun came up quicker than in Stone, and the river went to flame then deepest blue.
There were seventeen breakfasts in the hotel, and lots of African-American waitresses who said y'all all the time. We knew most of the breakfasts, except for the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were scones, and the gravy was a salty white sauce. There were funny little sausages and hills of crispy bacon. So that's what happened, I said, to the crispy bacon we used to have before the war.
If you stood at the buffet an African-American gentleman would cook you a waffle, and you could have sauce made from fake cherries, or syrup made from fake maples. We'll get fat, said Monica. And we are already fat after sailing through France.
No doubt, I said, but what can you do? The North American continent is blessed with the riches of nature, and covered thinly with maple syrup.
DAVE, THE OPERATIONS MANAGER OF ATLANTIC Containers at Portsmouth Marine Terminal, was a nice man with a beard. So that's a narrowboat, he said, looking at a photograph of the Phyllis May. Never seen one before-my God she's thin.
Most of the canal boats in England are like this, I said-the locks on the main system are only seven feet wide. The original barges were seventy feet long, ten feet longer than the Phyllis May. They were pulled by horses. The boating families lived in the little cabin at the back. It was a culture of its own and it died out when the railways and lorries took over. Then in the nineteen fifties people started making narrowboats out of steel as leisure boats.
How much does she weigh?
Seventeen tons. Ten-millimetre flat bottom: paving stones for ballast. Draws two feet-on a wet day you can sail her up Stafford High Street.
What's she like to steer?
You stand on that counter at the stern, and hold the tiller behind your back. She has no bow thrusters but I can do most of what I want if there are no big waves or winds or currents.
There are big waves and winds and currents on the Intracoastal, said Dave.
He took us round the terminal. Containers in piles, and machines a hundred feet high with two legs that pick up the containers between their knees and roar about and put them down somewhere else. Yachts on trolleys, and lorries and helicopters and tanks, waiting for the fifty-thousand-ton roll-on roll-off container ship that will carry them off around the world.
This is your crane, said Dave-the little one. We call him Clyde. He's only two hundred feet high. I guess you will want to be on your boat when we drop her in. Yes, said Monica, he will, and Jim and I will stay on the wharf.
I tried to take a photo of Clyde but I couldn't get far enough away.
Dave introduced us to the ladies in the Portsmouth Marine Terminal office. We can't wait to meet Jim, said Nice Amy. We have eleven dogs between five of us. Tell Jim that we will have several bags of pork skins waiting when y'all arrive-are they the same as pork scratchings?
In June, I said, Jim will give us an opinion.
DOWN THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AT thirty thousand feet. A thread of silver across the Great Dismal Swamp, which looked like the weather map on the telly when it's raining. Then sunlight on Albemarle Sound, and on Pamlico Sound, both wider than the English Channel. Along North Carolina the chalk line of Atlantic surf, and just inland the silver thread welling into lagoons and swamps and meanders. In South Carolina, past Charleston, and then through Georgia, the coastline is a madman's jigsaw, and it doesn't get much better in Florida. Now Lake Okeechobee is on our right, misty blue to the horizon, and the Everglades draining in endless patterns to the south.
We turn along Alligator Alley, the motorway across the peninsula, hold to the fast lane, and glide into the long slow afternoon of western Florida.

"Narrow Dog to Indian River" is Terry and Monica Darlington's follow-up work to their "Narrow Dog to Carcassonne," published in 2005. These books detail the Darlington's adventures aboard their English narrowboat The Phyllis May with their whippet Jim, in the first book motoring their way through English and French canals with a crossing of the English Channel in between, in the second traveling down the U.S Intercoastal Waterway. Terry Darlington,just seventy at the start of the book, is crusty and idiosyncratic and at times very funny in his writing, quite British in his outlook, at times fairly caustic regarding absurdities he encounters on these travels. If you like this sort of writing--somewhat in the tradition of Paul Theroux and Bill Bryson but on a smaller scale--these are terrific books which we thoroughly enjoyed. We look forward to reading the Darlington's next adventures.
Being boater, being possessed by a dog, and having travelled the Midi Canal in a narrow boat myself, I was immediately drawn to the first book, "Narrow Dog to Carcassonne". I thoroughly enjoyed that book and was not disappointed by the sequel, "Narrow Dog to Indian River". The story of Terry and Monica Darlington and their dog, JIM, traveling along the Intercostal Waterway in an English narrow boat is as unique as is their mode of travel. Their self-deprecating sense of humor and personal viewpoint give the story a wonderfully eccentric point of view. This is a funny, lighthearted travel story, describing their adventures the water and on the shore and recounting their impressions of the people, weather, climate and geography, all in good humor. If you like boats, or waterways, or people, or dogs, or the South, you will enjoy this book. My greatest disappointment of this book is shared by the first; the story ended too soon. It was so much fun! I am eagerly, awaiting the next chapter!
NPR had recommended this book for summer reading; I can't believe what a poor choice this book is. The book is insulting to the South and to the people who populate its coastline. The author spends most of the book complaining about the weather. Most travellers do research about that sort of thing before the head out on a long trip. The people opened up their homes and hearts to the author and his wife and yet he used derogatory terms to describe them. I believe in some cases the difference in perception is due to the differences in our sense of humor, but frankly I couldn't force myself to finish the book.

Volume 80, Issue 8, August 2009
We review the current state of multiphoton microscopy. In particular, the requirements and limitations associated with high-speed multiphotonimaging are considered. A description of the different scanning technologies such as line scan, multifoci approaches, multidepth microscopy, and novel detection techniques is given. The main nonlinear optical contrast mechanisms employed in microscopy are reviewed, namely, multiphoton excitation fluorescence,second harmonic generation, and third harmonic generation. Techniques for optimizing these nonlinear mechanisms through a careful measurement of the spatial and temporal characteristics of the focal volume are discussed, and a brief summary of photobleaching effects is provided. Finally, we consider three new applications of multiphoton microscopy: nonlinear imaging in microfluidics as applied to chemical analysis and the use of two-photon absorption and self-phase modulation as contrast mechanisms applied to imaging problems in the medical sciences.
A dual-channel, curved-crystal spectrograph for petawatt laser, x-ray backlighter source studies80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3193716View Description Hide Description
A dual-channel, curved-crystal spectrograph was designed to measure time-integrated x-ray spectra in the to 2 keV range (6.2–8.2 Å wavelength) from small-mass, thin-foil targets irradiated by the VULCAN petawatt laser focused up to . The spectrograph consists of two cylindrically curved potassium-acid-phthalate crystals bent in the meridional plane to increase the spectral range by a factor of compared to a flat crystal. The device acquires single-shot x-ray spectra with good signal-to-background ratios in the hard x-ray background environment of petawatt laser-plasma interactions. The peak spectral energies of the aluminum and resonance lines were and ( and 0.25 J/Å sr), respectively, for 220 J, 10 ps laser irradiation.
Deconvolution-based correction of alkali beam emission spectroscopy density profile measurements80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3205930View Description Hide Description
A deconvolution-based correction method of the beam emission spectroscopy (BES) density profile measurement is demonstrated by its application to simulated measurements of the COMPASS and TEXTORtokamaks. If the line of sight is far from tangential to the flux surfaces, and the beam width is comparable to the scale length on which the light profile varies, the observation may cause an undesired smoothing of the light profile, resulting in a non-negligible underestimation of the calculated density profile. This effect can be reduced significantly by the emission reconstruction method, which gives an estimate of the emissivity along the beam axis from the measured light profile, taking the finite beam width and the properties of the measurement into account in terms of the transfer function of the observation. Characteristics and magnitude of the mentioned systematic error and its reduction by the introduced method are studied by means of the comprehensive alkali BES simulation code RENATE.
Operating a radio-frequency plasma source on water vapor80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3202250View Description Hide Description
A magnetically enhanced radio-frequency (rf) plasma source operating on water vapor has an extensive list of potential applications. In this work, the use of a rf plasma source to dissociate water vapor for hydrogen production is investigated. This paper describes a rf plasma source operated on water vapor and characterizes its plasma properties using a Langmuir probe, a residual gas analyzer, and a spectrometer. The plasma source operated first on argon and then on water vapor at operating pressures just over 300 mtorr. Argon and water vaporplasma number densities differ significantly. In the electropositive argon plasma, quasineutrality requires , where is the positive ion density. But in the electronegative waterplasma, quasineutrality requires . The positive ion density and electron density of the water vaporplasma are approximately one and two orders of magnitude lower, respectively, than those of argon plasma. These results suggest that attachment and dissociative attachment are present in electronegative water vaporplasma. The electron temperature for this water vaporplasma source is between 1.5 and 4 eV. Without an applied axial magnetic field,hydrogen production increases linearly with rf power. With an axial magnetic field,hydrogen production jumps to a maximum value at 500 W and then saturates with rf power. The presence of the applied axial magnetic field is therefore shown to enhance hydrogen production.
A compact submicrosecond, high current generator80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3193714View Description Hide Description
Pulsed current generator was developed for experiments with current carrying pulsed plasma. Main parts of the generator are capacitor bank, low inductive current driving lines, and central load part. Generator consists of four identical sections, connected in parallel to one load. Capacitor bank is assembled from 24 capacitor blocks (100 kV, 80 nF), connected in parallel. It stores 9.6 kJ at 100 kV charging voltage. Each capacitor block incorporates a multigap spark switch, which is able to commute by six parallel channels. Switches operate in dry air at atmospheric pressure. The generator was tested with an inductive load and a liner load. At 17.5 nH inductive load and 100 kV of charging voltage it provides 650 kA of current amplitude with 390 ns rise time with damping resistors in discharge circuit of each capacitor block. The net generatorinductance without a load was optimized to be as low as 15 nH, which results in extremely low impedance of the generator. It ensures effective energy coupling with a low impedance load such as Z pinch. The generator operates reliably without any adjustments in 70–100 kV range of charging voltage. Jitter in delay between output pulse and triggering pulse is less than 5 ns at 70–100 kV charging voltage. Operation and handling are very simple, because no oil or purified gases are required for the generator. The generator has dimensions and total weight about 1400 kg, thus manifesting itself as simple, robust, and cost effective apparatus.
Broadband, high dynamics and high resolution charge coupled device-based spectrometer in dynamic mode for multi-keV repetitive x-ray sources80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3189004View Description Hide Description
We present a new operating mode, using a charged coupled device as dispersionless spectrometer dedicated to repetitive x-raysources in the multi-keV domain. This enables to get spectra with high statistics in a short acquisition time and a way compatible with the operation of other diagnostics requiring accumulation. Several reconstruction algorithms for the spreading events are discussed, and a near Fano-limited resolution is demonstrated by using single pixel events. In this case, a method to take into account partial canceling of the events is presented. Experimental characterization and detailed modeling of the detector are performed, which allow to determine absolute number of photon with ±35% accuracy. Characterization of the 5–25 keV x rays emitted by a short pulse laser-produced plasma is reported, as well as their dependency with the atomic number, the laser duration, and energy.
A contoured gap coaxial plasma gun with injected plasma armature80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3202136View Description Hide Description
A new coaxial plasma gun is described. The long term objective is to accelerate of plasma with density above to greater than 200 km/s with a Mach number above 10. Such high velocity dense plasma jets have a number of potential fusion applications, including plasma refueling, magnetized target fusion, injection of angular momentum into centrifugally confined mirrors, high energy density plasmas, and others. The approach uses symmetric injection of high density plasma into a coaxial electromagnetic accelerator having an annular gap geometry tailored to prevent formation of the blow-by instability. The injected plasma is generated by numerous (currently 32) radially oriented capillary discharges arranged uniformly around the circumference of the angled annular injection region of the accelerator.Magnetohydrodynamic modeling identified electrode profiles that can achieve the desired plasma jet parameters. The experimental hardware is described along with initial experimental results in which approximately has been accelerated to 100 km/s in a half-scale prototype gun. Initial observations of 64 merging injector jets in a planar cylindrical testing array are presented. Density and velocity are presently limited by available peak current and injection sources. Steps to increase both the drive current and the injected plasma mass are described for next generation experiments.
A multichannel, frequency-modulated, tunable Doppler backscattering and reflectometry system80(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3205449View Description Hide Description
A novel multichannel Dopplerbackscattering system has been designed and tested for application on the DIII-D [J. L. Luxon, Fusion Sci. Technol.48, 828 (2005)] and National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) [M. Ono et al., Nucl. Fusion40, 557 (2000)] fusion plasma devices. Dopplerbackscatteringmeasures localized intermediate wavenumber density fluctuations and the propagation velocity of turbulent structures. Microwave radiation is launched at a frequency that approaches a cutoff layer in the plasma and at an angle that is oblique to the cutoff layer. Bragg backscattering occurs near the cutoff layer for fluctuations with , where is the incident probe wave vector at the scattering location. The turbulence propagation velocity can be determined from the Doppler shift in the return signal together with knowledge of the scattering wavenumber. Ray tracing simulations are used to determine and the scattering location. Frequency modulation of a voltage-controlled solid state microwave source followed by frequency multiplication is used to create an array of finely spaced frequencies spanning 1.4 GHz. The center of the array bandwidth is tunable within the range of . This article details the system design, laboratory tests, and presents initial data from DIII-D plasmas.
