The fraction of configurations with exactly and at leastNanchors. (A) Plot of the fraction of configurations with exactly N anchors, , as N varies. An anchor is a run of at least K correct bases (shown for K = 15, 20, and 25). We assume the read length is L = 1000 and the error rate per base is ρ = 15%(and that there are exactly M = 150 error positions). The solid markers are computed by finding exact coefficients cM,N,K(L) in the generating functions. The curve is a normal distribution approximating the exact values (illustrating Theorem A3), where parameters μand σ2are computed by Theorem A2. (B) The solid markers are a plot of , the fraction of configurations with at least N anchors, as N varies. The parameters are the same as for (A). The curve is the survival function of the normal distribution in (A).

I'm sorry I didn't post the last entry on this site. I put it on the Babies with heart problems board, but I guess my mind is elsewhere lately so I'll put it here now.
I'm sorry I have to tell everyone, but Aiden died on the 17th. It was 10 days after surgery and his chest was still open, still on ECMO, and he had 2 interventional heart caths where he got a total of 12 stents. His O2 sat got down to 12% when they tried to get him off ECMO. We decided that this was enough. The doctors said they did everything they knew how. They would have bought him months, not years. One of his cardiologists told us that we can rest our minds knowing we tried everything. Had he not had surgery we would have had to put him on hospice and basically watch him suffocate. This way we gave him a chance.
When we decided to stop everything, they got me a chair and let me hold him. Then they turned everything off and he died in my arms. Now he can watch Baby Einstein in heaven. He was such a blessing for the 4 months and 26 days that he was here. But I would do it all over again. We had his funeral Tuesday. I've had time to think about why God would give me Aiden and then take him away after such a short stay on earth. The first half of our long stay at the hospital I was praying that he would be ok. The last half I was praying for mercy. No one should have to go through this. But God gave him to us for a reason and he took him away for a reason. I don't know what the reason is right now, but I'll know one day. I'm a better person now, I don't think of things the same anymore. I do want more children, and if they are half as good as Aiden was, then I want 15 of them! It will never stop hurting, and not a day will go by that I won't think of him, but I will learn to deal with it differently and know that he is waiting for me in heaven. I have learned so much from him when he was with me, and I learned so much more since he left. Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers! I would still like to be active on this site and give support or advice to those that need it!

These are powerful little speakers. You should still hook up a bass eliminator to the them to help only distribute the highs to these little guys. THey are not the crispest speakers, but you get what you pay for.

Within 6 weeks a short/loose wire developed in the housing of both speakers. The design does not allow to fix the problem without damaging the housing.
The design is not adjustment friendly after they are mounted due to the limited clearance between the pieces.

I have 4 of these in my 2000 Accord Type R vtec hooked up to a 300 watt JBL 4 channel just for the highs to my system and they are soooo clear and handle the amp even though its turned down. I'm about to order another set in a few minutes.If you're looking for good tweeters for a cheap price...This is the way to go trust me on this one.

Initially what turned me on about these tweeters were that A) they were the size I was looking for, and B) the price was perfect! But seriously, they sound nice, it adds so much clarity when I feel like cranking it up. You can turn your highs down and still get plenty! Perfect for solving a heavy sub-user.

I purchased these tweeters and installed em about six months ago in my 2010 Ford F-150 XLT Ext Cab 4X4 right on the panel for the window defroster. They work like a champ and completed the overall sound of my audio. I hooked them up on a 200watt Jensen Amp. The level has to be kept very low otherwise the tweeters are real distorted and not clear. For the price these tweeters are definitely worth it!!

One of the United States Navy's smaller training centers highlights how virtual training can save big. The 27-member staff of the Naval Safety & Environmental Training Center provides training to some 10,000 Navy personnel and government civilians around the world in 37 courses each year.
Commander Greg Cook said his command began several years ago to look at virtual training as a way to deliver training to students in some courses, sensing looming budget cuts.
The center rolled out a blended eLearning model in 2011 that it brands "Global Online," and its virtual enrollment has grown from 60 initial students to approximately 800 in five classes in 2013, with plans to expand to more than 2,500 students in fiscal 2014.
The command uses an open source educational tool called Sakai – hosted by the Naval Postgraduate School – for the asynchronous training component and Defense Connect Online for the live sessions with instructors. Students can take their classes from anywhere in the world and view their instructors from any personal mobile device.
Cook said his command conservatively estimates that for each student who participates in virtual training, the command saves $800 to $1,200 in travel costs, plus per diem expenses and recovered productivity. Classes that the center hosts range from one to five days long, but students don't have to expend extra time dealing with travel and may – depending on the rigor of the virtual training – be able to continue their duties.
"It used to be either we travel to 9,500 students per year or they travel to us," Cook said. "I think we need to be looking at this technology and make the most use of it we can. We are doing more robust training in the same amount of time while saving students travel and per diem cost, travel time and lost productivity. We're not pushing virtual as a wholesale training solution, but we are using it strategically where it makes the most sense."
Courses that require physical participation, where a student must try on gear, scale a wall or demonstrate other physical skills, are not applicable to the virtual environment, according to Al Melcher, Learning Standards Officer for the Naval Safety & Environmental Training Center. Those courses are still taught onsite, through the command's mobile training teams offsite, or through video tele-training (VTT) remote sites, though VTT will be defunded later this year, Melcher said.
While some courses will always require hands-on instruction, Cook said many courses work as well or better in the virtual environment than they do in lecture halls.
The command's students are able to interact with an instructor on a daily basis because Global Online requires instructors to commit at least an hour per day of live virtual instruction, addressing a challenge typically inherent in distance learning and sometimes even in college lecture halls: a lack of cognitive learning.
Cook said students are asked to do assignments rather than cycle through the PowerPoint presentations of a nonexistent instructor. Because of the combination of tools available in the virtual environment, they're called upon to retrieve information online, essentially forcing active participation.
"Beyond the cost savings, we're seeing an increase in knowledge transfer, and that's really important," Cook said.
"In this venue, because of the availability of using their own personal devices within their environment, the freedom and choice of students is much greater, the availability of training is greater, and we've found that leveraging these tools together provides a training mechanism that increases over and beyond what traditionally you'd have in a lecture-based classroom environment," Cook added.
There have been some challenges as the center has expanded its virtual training, however. Bandwidth is a problem for some students, especially those who go against the center's preference and train while at sea. "Not all ships have high bandwidth, and the video can get a little choppy," Cook said.
Another challenge is change management, Cook said, noting that some managers are of the mentality that online courses are easy enough to do "after hours." The increased rigor of the Naval Safety & Environmental Training Center's virtual course offerings now has some students telling their bosses the coursework might cut into work time.
"Some students need more time to take their classes," Cook said. "Change isn't always easy."
Yet the change to make virtual training a priority is saving the Navy and taxpayers money, and is a method Cook said many other agencies could try, too.
"We have to use the resources we have as they become scarcer," Cook said. "We're facing cuts and our customers are facing cuts."

With some 14 million letters already out and millions more expected to hit mailboxes by the end of the month, the Office of Personnel Management expects to wrap up notifications to breach victims in the coming weeks.
Here are 14 young women and men -- in agencies and the private sector alike -- who are overachieving in their current roles and distinguishing themselves as the likely leaders of tomorrow.
Steve Kelman continues the conversation on fixing government acquisition.
A governmentwide email retention strategy could have a broad impact on the public and our nation's history.
Agency CIOs can lead real and lasting change with the help of other government leaders and old-school performance grades.
The Inspector General nominee at the Department of Veterans Affairs told a Senate panel he could institute reform in the short time he'll have on the job.
A reciprocal travel program with 38 participating countries allows for visa-free visits, but a key U.S. senator warns of troubling gaps in the security data.
Antiquated computer systems based on legacy code are a problem for government not just because they are hard to secure, but because it is hard to find people to run them.
Steven Kelman unpacks the argument that social media can negatively affect organizational performance.
On top of cost savings, the students also saves much of their personal time as well as time dedicated to doing their jobs because they do not have all the extra travel and hotel time away from their home/family as well as their job location.

A Strasburg-area dairy farmer sees questions whether there will be hay or grain available to purchase.
Although more federal help is becoming available to combat the financial aftermath of this summer's drought, one Strasburg-area dairy farmer sees the biggest issue as being whether there will be hay or grain available to purchase.
"A lot of corn fields won't produce half of what they did last year," Jim Rowe said. "Feed costs are going to be crazy this year."
Corn is selling for about $8.10 per bushel, about $1.50 to $2 per bushel higher than a year ago. Top quality hay has soared to $400 per ton, compared to about $250 a year ago.
That's not good for Rowe, who farms about 300 acres and milks about 175 dairy cattle. Those cows are producing "fairly well."
He said he'll check out what programs are being offered through the United States Department of Agriculture and the Farm Service Agency after Wednesday's declaration that all 88 counties in Ohio are disaster areas.
"Some people will take advantage of the low-interest loans, but I'm not sure if we will," he said.
"The real problem isn't dollars, it's the availability of feed," he said. "It isn't going to matter if you have the money but there isn't any hay when you get into March and April. What we're facing right now is to figure out how to stretch things out until we get into the next production year for alfalfa, on May 1."
He expects to harvest some more alfalfa hay this fall, and within the next week he'll begin to harvest corn silage. That will help him decide upon his feeding strategy.
"We'll conduct a feed inventory strategy and see how we're going to get to May 1," he said. "That's the thought process for a lot of farmers now, everybody's kind of in the same boat. Corn is really high priced. But if you substitute something else, then what else is available? There's not a whole lot available to substitute with."
His strategy is to utilize homegrown forages.
"We chop up the plants and let it ferment into silage," he said of hay and corn. "Last year, we had about 1,400 tons of hay silage. We're looking at probably about 800 tons this year — just a little over half of where we ought to be.
"If you want to cut back on feeding corn and soybeans because of the high price, what are you going to replace it with," he said. "That's the question everybody is struggling with, and it gets frustrating."
He explained that a pound of shelled corn fills a quart-sized container.
"If you take that corn out of a cow's diet, you have to replace it with about three pounds of corn silage. Or you may try to use hay silage. The sad part of it is that we're not going to be feeding the way we want to, but the way we have to. If you cut back on one feed source, you still have to feed the animal the same amount of nutrients, so you'll have to increase something else."
Page 2 of 2 - He said that last year, he averaged harvesting 24 to 25 tons of corn silage per acre. This year, he expects to average 15 to 16 tons per acre.
"Some fields are going to do a little better than that, but on some others we'll get maybe seven or eight tons, if that," he said.
As for ear corn production, "a lot of the high ground just got baked. You're looking at yields of less than 10 tons per acre. Last year, it was 20-plus, easy."
He said recent rainfall may boost soybean production in some of the later plantings, which could provide help with that feed source, but more rain is needed.
"You have to get moisture in the ground for wheat and cover crops.
"One of the things we're looking at is trying Italian rye grass," he said. "It's first silage harvest could be on April 20 or 25. By being able to harvest that crop earlier than a different type, you would gain three weeks of feeding time. That doesn't sound like a lot, but we're trying to stretch out the feed in any way we can."

Cleantech Solutions International Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results PR Newswire WUXI, China, Aug. 14, 2013 WUXI, China, Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. ("Cleantech Solutions" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: CLNT), a manufacturer of metal components and assemblies, primarily used in various clean technology and manufacturing industries, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. "During the second quarter, we continued on our growth trajectory with solid year-over-year increases in revenue and net income. Our dyeing machine segment was the main driver behind our performance, as textile manufacturers continue to phase out obsolete equipment and reduce pollution from the dyeing process in keeping with the policies of local PRC governments," said Mr. Jianhua Wu, Chairman and CEO of Cleantech Solutions. "We also saw a healthy increase in sales of forged products to customers outside the wind power industry. " Second Quarter 2013 Results Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 increased 34.1% to $17.2 million, compared to $12.8 million for the same period of 2012. Revenue growth was primarily driven by sales of dyeing and finishing equipment due to demand for the Company's low-emission airflow dyeing machines, which meet the policies of local PRC governments to phase out obsolete equipment and reduce pollution from the dyeing process. In addition, demand for forged rolled rings and related products for industries other than the wind power industry rose considerably due to increasing market demand for capital equipment, which was offset by a decline in demand for forged products from customers in the wind power industry. The increase in revenue is summarized as follows: oRevenue from the dyeing and finishing equipment segment increased 95.0% to $9.0 million, compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. oRevenue from the sale of forged rolled rings to other industries increased 43.1% to $5.1 million, compared with $3.6 million for the comparable period of the prior year. oRevenue from the sale of forged rolled rings for the wind power industry declined 33.4% to $3.1 million, compared to $4.6 million for the comparable period last year. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 increased 47.5% to $4.0 million, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2012. Gross margin increased to 23.1% during the second quarter of 2013 compared to 21.0% for the same period a year ago. The increase in gross margin for the second quarter was primarily attributable to (i) the increased operational and cost efficiencies for forged rolled rings and related products segment, including the allocation of fixed costs primarily consisting of depreciation, to cost of revenues as the Company operated at higher production levels in response to higher revenues, and (ii) the significant portion of revenue for the dyeing and finishing equipment segment generated from the sale of airflow dyeing machinery, which generates a higher gross margin than the Company's traditional dyeing machinery. The principal source of dyeing revenue in the second quarter of 2012 was traditional dyeing machinery. Operating expenses decreased 23.2% to $0.9 million, compared to $1.1 million in the comparable period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a recovery of bad debt and lower depreciation expenses resulting from the classification of certain equipment as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2012, on which depreciation was taken in the second quarter of 2012 but not in the second quarter of 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 declined 17.5% to $0.6 million, primarily due to a $0.3 million recovery of bad debt, offset by higher travel and entertainment and shipping costs associated with the increase in sales and an increase in research and development expense related to the Company's new after treatment equipment. Operating income increased 98.1% to $3.1 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same period of 2012. Operating margin was 18.1% compared to 12.2% in the second quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, which adds back to net income interest expense, income tax, warrant modification expense, depreciation and amortization, rose 52.2% to $4.8 million, compared to $3.1 million in the same quarter last year. The calculation of adjusted EBITDA is shown in a table following the financial tables. Net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $2.3 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using diluted weighted average shares of 2,955,786 and 2,660,983 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect a one-for-ten reverse stock split effective March 6, 2012. Six Month Results For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenue increased 39.8% to$31.1 millionfrom$22.2 millionin the first half of 2012. Gross profit increased 55.2% to$7.1 million, compared to$4.6 millionlast year. Gross margin for first half of 2013 was 22.8%, compared to 20.6% in the first half of 2012. Operating income increased 123.7% to$5.4 millionfrom$2.4 millionin the first half of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement which adds back to net income interest expense, income tax, warrant modification expense, depreciation and amortization, was$8.7 million, compared to$5.6 millionin the first half of 2012. Net income was$4.0 million, or$1.35per diluted share, up from $1.4 million, or$0.53per diluted share, in the first half of 2012. All share and per share information have been adjusted to reflect a one-for-ten reverse stock split effectiveMarch 6, 2012. Financial Condition As of June 30, 2013, Cleantech Solutions held cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 million compared with $1.4 million at December 31, 2012. Accounts receivable were $10.0 million and total current assets of $22.7 million as of June 30, 2013. The Company had $3.1 million in short-term bank loans payable at June 30, 2013, up from $2.2 million at December 31, 2012. Stockholders' equity was $85.4 million at June 30, 2013. In the first half of 2013, the Company generated $5.2 million in cash flow from operations. The increase in short term loans, combined with cash flow from operations, was used to purchase approximately $5.8 million of equipment to expand capacity of airflow dyeing machines. On June 18, 2013, the Company entered into agreements dated June 17, 2013 pursuant to which it sold a total of 428,398 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $4.50 per share. On July 10, 2013, the Company sold a total of 150,518 shares of common stock at a price of $4.70 per share to an investor. The Company received net proceeds from the sale of these shares of approximately $2,389,000. The Company will use the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In July and August 2013, the Company repaid approximately $1.0 million in bank acceptance notes payable which were collateralized by 100% of restricted cash deposited. Recent Events On June 20, 2013, the Company announced it received purchase orders totalingRMB 12.2 million(approximately$2.0 million) for 21 airflow-dyeing machines from a new domestic customer. The Company expects to begin shipping the machines in September 2013. On June 5, 2013, the Company's variable interest entity, Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. (Wuxi Huayang), received five new patent certificatesfrom the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China for devices and parts of its airflow dyeing machine. The patents relate to devices and parts that allow for lower water and energy usage, improved dyeing effects, extend the service life of the machine and provide easier cleaning of atomized dyeing equipment.The patents provide the Company with exclusive use of these designs in dyeing equipment for a period of ten years in China. Business Outlook Based on current and anticipated orders, for the full year endingDecember 31, 2013the Company affirms its guidance for revenue in the range of$60 - $62 millionand net income in the range of$8.0 - $8.5 million. "As we enter the second half of the year, we are confident about our future although we have some concerns regarding credit conditions in China. We expect sales of airflow dyeing machines and anticipated sales of new products, including our after treatment compacting machine, to be the main drivers of revenue growth. We have purchased new equipment that will increase dyeing machine capacity by year end and are hopeful that we will secure customers for our new forged products and after treatment textile equipment soon." "We anticipate a lesser contribution from wind and solar customers given the near-term challenges facing these markets. We will continue to utilize our assets, along with our expertise in manufacturing precision products, to meet the needs of other heavy equipment and clean technology industries as we seek profitable growth," Mr. Wu concluded.

I'm upgrading my drive-train. Right now I'm @ 72 gi's (48/18) - and I have no problems with that, but I want to go a bit faster and spin a bit slower. My daily ride is mostly flat, but it gets windy sometimes and my house is on a hill.
My shop guy suggested I go up to 81 (48/16). I decided not to and went one size down from his suggestion (46/16). So when my stuff comes in, I'll be @ 77 gi's.
I'll probably throw a 17 cog on the other side for windy days and that will be 1 more gear inch from where I'm at now. I'm just curious about the consensus of whether 5 gear inches is a significant jump on a fixed gear.
I'm also shortening my crank length form 172.5mm to 170 btw.

Net on the day, the Dow was still down by 162.79 at 10,620.16, closing 83 points off its low. The S&P 500 down 21.76 at 1135.68, 9 points off its low, and Nasdaq 100 38.42 at 1907.10, 22 points off its low, and at one point down as much as 60.
Advance-declines were about 8 to 1 negative today on the New York Stock Exchange, and a little less than 6 to 1 negative on Nasdaq. Up/down volume was 20 to 1 negative on New York on total volume of a little over 1 1/2 billion shares. Nasdaq traded 2.6 billion today, but had an 8 to 1 negative ratio.

So, it was a decidedly negative day on Wall Street to end the week.
TheTechTrader.com board, as a result, was mostly down today other than just a few issues. Hauppauge Digital Inc. (HAUP), after yesterday's big announcement, jumped another 90 cents to 3.93, although it traded as high as 4.85 at one point on 29.2 million shares traded.
Neostem, Inc. (NBS) was up 47 cents to 3.41, and UltraLife (ULBI) up 31 cents to 4.52.

In the ETF sector, the Direxion Daily Emrg Mkts Bear 3X Shares (EDZ) jumped 2.68 to 47.82, ProShares UltraShort Real Estate (SRS) 1.62 to 26.62, iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) 2.14 to 26.86, and the Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares (FAZ) 1.08 to 13.75.
On the downside, multiple point-plus losers included Apple Inc. (AAPL) down 4.54 to 253.82, Amazon.com (AMZN) down 2.94 to 128.53, Cree Inc. (CREE) down 3.82 to 72.10, and Google Inc. (GOOG) down 3.35 to 507.53.
Among other point-plus losers of note, RINO International Corp (RINO) lost 1.01 to 15.44, Goldman Sachs (GS) 1.42 to 143.23, Dendreon Corp (DNDN) 1.64 to 43.76, China Automotive Systems Inc. (CAAS) 1.24 to 19.41, Baidu Inc. (BIDU) 1.66 to 73.98, Brigham Exploration (BEXP) 1.25 to 16.96, and Acme Packet, Inc. (APKT) 1.01 to 25.19. Those were the point-plus losers today.
Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices were down sharply in a 3-wave decline until just before lunch hour. Over the next several hours they backed and filled, then tried to consolidate, but when they were unable to make any further downturn progress they experienced some late short covering and rallied to take back a portion of the losses, but still ended with sharp losses for the day. We'll see what kind of follow-through, if any, we get to the downside Monday.

I purchased the Bakoda snowboard dots from your site last week and used them today for the first time.
Right from the start I had a bad feeling about them because the adhesive was too thick and gooey so the dots felt like they were stuck on with a piece of gum. They could move slightly to the souch.
I made sure to follow the installation instructions properly and even let the dots sit with weight on them for one week before I used the board. The dots were not stuck to the board well and came off as soon as I stomped on them with my boot.

I bought this one based on the fabulous reviews here on MUA.... and was not disappointed! At first I was a little nervous about this bronzer because it looked pretty dark in the package at sephora, and I was worried that it would look orange on my fairly pale, neutral toned skin. And my instincts were right- when I used my kabuki brush and applied it all over my face, I did look like an orange. However, the next time I did it, I used a much lighter hand, and applied it more as I would a highlighter- on my cheeks, forehead, bridge of nose and chin and it was gorgeous-a very natural, sunkissed look with just a hint of shimmer. This also looks great on the neck and chest for a glowy tan look. I bought this in the big bronzer for $32, and it is very silky and the packaging is nice- I especially love the big mirror inside. Thank you MUAers for helping me to discover this awesome product!

I liked this product so much the first time I got it, I went out and bought two of the 'big' bronzer compacts. gives an awesome true bronze glow. the only minus is that the shimmer can be very heavy if you like to use a lot of bronzer on your face. for a light dusting, this stuff is the best! I like to use a ton of bronzer on my face as I am very pale, so I might use a tiny dusting of this with another more matte bronzer, but then I will still use this on my chest and neck. would reccommend, just go easy at first because that shimmer can get way too shiny on nose.

I love this bronzer! It is so pretty and in the light it's a shimmery bronze/brown/yellow sort of everything I wanted MAC MSF's to be just a nice subtle shimmer not a disco ball effect. I got rid of all my MSFs and just kept this, I love it! It's the perfect shade and color for me as well, MAC C3 medium skin-tone. Enjoy :o)

I just went to sephora yesterday and planning to purchase either Nars' laguna or benefit's hoola. I've tried hoola before and thought it was the best bronzer for me . and then I wanted to try Nars just out of curiosity and they ran out. So then, the saleslady recommend this for me and said it's popular, so I gave it a shot.
I'm filipino but my skin tone is really pale plus I have oily skin. I wanted a bronzer that doesn't look brown/orange and doesn't have that glittery glow.
A little dab using a powder brush (sephora brushes are damn expensive but it's worth it.) goes a long way and the staying power is really good as well.
Packaging is great, the color is phenomenal > tanned-peachy glow!
definitely a must have!

This is the best bronzer I've found. It doesn't leave me orange or muddy, just a light sheer bronze. What I've been looking for. I got the anniversary kit & so glad I did. I've tried & loved the glosses so I went for this kit & very pleased with it. This will definately be a staple for me. The tin is not my favorite, as I'm pretty clumsy as it is, so I'm a little worried I will drop it again. Already did once, but it's still intact thankfully.;)

Low-pressure plasma generation inside slender tubes
F. Iza, J.K. Lee∗
Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang 790-784, Republic of Korea
Available online 28 February 2007
Low pressure (<50 mTorr) argon discharges inside tubes of a few millimeters in diameter have been studied by means of one- and two-
dimensional particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision simulations. Magnetically confined DC and microwave discharges have been sustained in
a coaxial configuration. For DC discharges, the magnetic field needs to be strong enough to confine secondary electrons emitted from the cathode,
i.e. the amplitude of the cycloidal motion described by secondary electrons has to be smaller than the discharge gap. For microwave excited
discharges, the power absorption profile depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field. Power absorption beyond the sheath boundary in the
plasma bulk and better confinement for magnetic fields below the ECR condition lead to maximum densities at ωc/ωrf∼ 0.5.

1. Introduction
Being able to plasma-treat the inner wall of slender tubes is
desirable to improve the performance of tubes and other instru-
ments in biomedical and industrial applications [1,2]. For ex-
ample,treatmentand coating of catheters can improvetheir bio-
compatibility and fouling properties. Similarly, a coating can
improve the lifetime of pipes that will carry corrosive materials.
Various techniques/configurations have been used in the past
to treat the inner wall of tubes. Electro-explosion [3], ion beams
and movable targets [4], external discharges [5], plasma im-
mersion ion implantation [6], and magnetized discharges [7]
provide means of treating the inner wall of slender tubes with
different performance in terms of repeatability, uniformity and
This paper studies low-pressure (<50 mTorr) argon dis-
charges inside tubes of inner radii on the order of millimeters.
The discharges are sustained between the tubes and auxiliary
wires introduced inside the tubes, i.e. coaxial configuration.
A detailed description of experimental set-ups can be found in
[8,9]. One- and two-dimensional particle-in-cell Monte Carlo
(PIC-MCC) collision simulations have been performed to study
the plasma characteristics under various magnetic field intensi-

ties and driving schemes. PIC-MCC simulations capture parti-
cle kinetics without the assumptions required in fluid models
and have been successfully used in studies of fundamental and
applied plasma physics [11]. The simulation results provide
a new insight into the underlying physics and are in good agree-
ment with experimental data.
2. Simulation model and device description
The discharges are sustained in a coaxial configuration. The
tube being treated acts as the outer electrode and a thin wire
introduced inside the tube as the inner electrode. For a sputter-
coating application, the thin wire is made of the coating ma-
terial and it is negatively biased so that the ion bombardment
sputters it. DC, pulsed-DC and microwave discharges can be
used to coat metallic and dielectric tubes [8,9]. In order to
effectively accelerate ions against the inner electrode (target)
operation at low pressure is required. Typically, this pressure is
below 50 mTorr and therefore magnetic confinement is needed
to limit the particle loss to the tube walls.
Simulations results are obtained using XPDC1 [12], an
open-source one-dimensional (1d3v) PIC-MCC code, and
a two-dimensional (2d3v) axisymmetric PIC-MCC plasma
simulator (APPS) developed by the authors. APPS assumes
azimuthal symmetry and solves for the radial and axial pro-
files. A multigrid solver is used to determine the electrostatic

field and a leap-frog scheme to integrate the particles equations
of motion. The code incorporates an external circuit and Pois-
son's equation is solved on a uniform grid using superposition
of surface and volume charge densities. A few million particles
and a radially weighted filter are used to minimize numerical
noise. Elastic, excitation and ionization electron-neutral colli-
sions, andelasticandchargeexchangeion-neutralcollisionsare
considered in the models (see [11,13] and references within).
Coulomb collisions are not included in the model and there-
fore the effective electron temperature may be underestimated.
Heating of low energy electrons intrinsic to PIC-MCC simula-
tions, however, may partially compensate for physical coulomb
interactions [14].
sion coefficient for Ar+ions impinging on the electrodes is set
to 0.2 whereas no secondary electrons are considered in the
microwave case. Finally, the magnetic field is assumed to be
uniform across the discharge.
3. Simulation results
3.1. DC excitation
When the discharge is sustained in DC mode, the tube and
the inner electrode constitute a coaxial magnetron. In the ab-
sence of a magnetic field, most secondary electrons emitted
from the inner electrode transit the discharge gap without col-
liding with the background gas and therefore it is not possible
to sustain a discharge inside the tube. If a sufficiently strong
axial magnetic field is applied, however, electrons are turned
around by the Lorentz force before reaching the tube. Confined
secondary electrons describe circular cycloids spending longer
time inside the tube and increasing the chances of undergoing
collisions. The amplitude of the cycloids increases as the inner
electrode diameter decreases [13] and therefore, there exists an
optimum inner electrode diameter that minimizes the required
magnetic field to sustain the discharge inside a given tube.
The electron energy probability function measured in the
bulk plasma shows two distinct electron populations: high en-
ergy electrons that have been accelerated across the cathode
fall, and low energy electrons that have been born in the bulk
plasma. The high energy electrons are secondary electrons
emitted from the inner electrode. These electrons ionize the
background gas generating low energy electrons. These low-
energy electrons diffuse very slowly in the radial direction
and as a result, a high-density low-temperature plasma is ob-
tained [13].
Most ions bombarding the inner electrode transit the sheath
without colliding with the background gas, and therefore the
ion energy distribution function presents a single energy peak.
This energy corresponds to the sheath voltage (∼950 V when
the applied voltage is 1 kV). Since the sheath is collisionless,
ions strike the inner electrode almost perpendicularly. Some
secondary electrons are also recaptured by the inner electrode.
See Fig. 1.
Electrons arrive to the tube with a broad angular distribu-
tion and relatively large energy (∼25 V). A small number of

pinging on the inner electrode. (c) Angle and (d) energy distribution functions

electrons arrive to the tube with energies close to the applied
voltage. These electrons are secondary electrons that have un-
dergone a collision and have been deflected from their cycloidal
Since the axial diffusion of particles is not affected by the
magnetic field, particle losses across the open-ends of the tube
can be even larger than radial losses. Two-dimensional simu-
lations modeling different configurations at the open end show
that despite the slender geometry of the tube the discharge can-
not be sustained without some axial confinement. Axial con-
finement, either electrostatic or magnetic, not only enables the
discharge and higher plasma densities, but it also improves the
uniformity of the plasma treatment [13].
3.2. Microwave excitation
In this section we present simulation results obtained when
a 2.45 GHz voltage source is used to power up the inner elec-
trode. Fig. 2 shows the plasma density at the center of the
discharge as a function of the magnetic field for an argon dis-
charge in a tube of radius 4 mm and an inner electrode of radius
500 µm. Despite the resonant heating occurring at the electron
cyclotron resonance (ECR) condition (B ∼ 875 Gauss), higher
plasma densities are obtained when weaker magnetic fields are
Under ECR conditions, electrons are resonantly accelerated
and may spiral out of the gap without undergoing collisions.

A confinement argument, however, cannot explain the rapid
increase of plasma density as the magnetic field approaches
ωc/ωrf ∼ 0.5 nor the density decrease when the magnetic
field is increased above the ECR condition. Here ωc is the
electron cyclotron frequency and ωrf the excitation frequency
(2.45 GHz).
Fig. 3 shows the radial potential profile for various magnetic
field intensities. Similarities can be found with the more studied
case of magnetically enhanced reactive ion etchers (RIE) [15].
As the magnetic field increases, the cross-field electron mo-
bility decreases and the plasma becomes more resistive. The
reduction of electron mobility results in a reduction (in absolute
value) of the bias voltage. With high magnetic fields (see the
1050G case in Fig. 3), the inner electrode can reach instanta-
neously voltages above the plasma potential and large voltage
drops are sustained across the bulk plasma. Nonetheless, an im-
portant difference with respect to magnetically enhanced RIEs
should be noted. Besides the geometrical configuration, mag-
netically enhanced RIEs operate typically with magnetic fields
well above the ECR condition. In this paper, however, the mag-
netic field intensity is such that the electron cyclotron frequency
is also smaller than the excitation frequency.
Fig. 4 shows the time averaged electron power absorption
profile as a function of the radial position. The electron power
is defined as Je·E, where Jeis the electron current density and
E the electric field. Significant changes can be observed in the
power absorption profiles.
For high magnetic fields (1050G, above the ECR condition),
the electron heating takes place at the sheath–plasma bound-
ary near the inner electrode (Fig. 4). The time resolved data
(not shown) indicates that the electron current is almost 90 de-
grees out of phase with respect to the electric field and that
the current leads the electric field, i.e. the bulk plasma behaves
capacitively. Although unmagnetized low pressure plasmas be-
have inductively due to the electron inertia, in a magnetized
discharge above the ECR condition (ωc> ωrf) the Lorentz
force makes particles turn before the electric field reverses. This
leads to the capacitive behavior. Since electrons cross-field mo-
bility is limited, stochastic heating at the sheaths is negligible
and the net power absorption observed in Fig. 4 is due to colli-
sional heating (no power is absorbed if collisions are artificially
removed in the simulation). Although the average power depo-
sition profile is similar for the ECR condition (B = 875G), the
is absorbed collisionlessly (power is absorbed even if the colli-
sions are artificially removed in the simulation). For magnetic
fields such that ωc/ωrf≈ 0.5–1, the power deposition profile
presents a radial standing wave pattern with alternating layers
of positive and negative power absorption. As a result, power
is absorbed beyond the sheath–bulk interface. It is believed that
the power absorption inside the bulk plasma is responsible for
the enhanced plasma density observed in the simulation and
experimental data (Fig. 2). As the magnetic field is reduced
to 300G, electrons gain mobility and the discharge recovers
the typical characteristics of an unmagnetized capacitive dis-
4. Conclusions
Low pressure (<50 mTorr) plasma generation inside tubes
of a few millimeters in diameter has been studied by means
of one- and two-dimension particle-in-cell Monte Carlo colli-
sion simulations. The large particle loss to the tube wall at low
pressure requires the use of magnetic confinement. DC and mi-
crowave argon discharges operated in a coaxial configuration
have been analyzed and good agreement is found with existing
experimental data. Despite the resonant heating occurring at the
electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) condition, this is not the
best operation point for discharges inside slender tubes. Poor
particle confinement under the ECR condition and enhanced
power absorption in the bulk plasma at lower magnetic fields
result in higher plasma densities at ωc/ωrf∼ 0.5. For magnetic
fields such that ωc/ωrf= 0.5–1 a radial standing wave pattern
in the power absorption profile has been shown. Although not
all the elements of this profile are yet understood, this power
absorption profile indicates that power is delivered beyond the
sheath–plasma interface into the bulk plasma.

That Ektachrome looks absolutely wonderful compared to a few that I have. They've gone entirely orange on me! Those must have been stored in a climate controlled room compared to mine.
Does it say Ektachrome on the mount? It looks similar to some Anscocolor slides I have, they have faded, but there is very little color shift, only a loss of density over all.
Taken a second look, definitly strikes me as an Anscocolor, the shift is not as bad as E-2 and appears to be faded over all.

Major/minor: Apparel design/studio art
Hometown: White Bear Lake, Minnesota
Campus job:
Publicity coordinator for the St. Kate's Activities Team (SKAT), which organizes activities for students.
"My internship — as an assistant to the costume designer at the Minnesota Children's Museum — is teaching me skills I will use in my career."
Strangest job at the museum:
Repairing a stuffed spider that kids had torn while playing.
Biggest lesson:
"I'm learning to use state-of-the-art equipment that will help me in my apparel design career. And I am learning how to make things durable so they can withstand active children."
Future goals:
"I'd like to be part of a design team. Someday I'd like to design for women who are petite like me and have trouble finding their exact size."
Most exciting apparel design assignment:
"I have to take an existing garment and give it a new life. I am looking forward to using an old dress of my mother's with a pattern I like to make a really cute skirt and jacket."
Why the liberal arts matter:
"It will prepare me to have an open mind when I pursue my future career. 'The Reflective Woman' course at St. Kate's has helped me think outside the box and be aware of social issues. When I make a piece of clothing I have to decide who I want to buy it. I am aware that a lot of people can't afford new clothing so there are social justice questions that affect apparel design."
