TAE Technologies, Inc. (TAE) is pursuing an alternative approach to magnetically confined fusion, which relies on field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas composed of mostly energetic and well-confined particles by means a state-of-the-art tunable energy neutral-beam (NB) injector system. TAE's current experimental device, C-2W (also called 'Norman'), the world's largest compact-toroid device has made significant progress in FRC performance, producing record breaking, high temperature...

Access to the MHD second stability regime has been achieved in ATF torsatron. Experimental \ensuremath{\beta} values (${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{0}$\ensuremath{\le}3%, with fast ions contributing \ensuremath{\approxeq}(1/3 of pressure at high \ensuremath{\beta}) are well above theoretical transition value (${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{c}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}1.3% for ideal modes) required reach this regime. The relatively low ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{c}$ results from operation peaked profiles. measured...

Metal implants are in general not compatible with the tissues of human body, and particular, blood exhibits a severe hemostatic response. Herein we present results technique to mask surface metals natural biopolymer, hyaluronan (HA). HA has minimal adverse interactions other tissues, but attachment bioactive peptides can promote specific biological interactions. In this study, stainless steel was cleaned then surface-modified by covalent an epoxy silane. The subsequently converted aldehyde...

The addition of an ℓ = 1 helical winding to the heliac central conductor adds a significant degree flexibility configuration by making it possible control rotational transform and shear. Such is essential for experiment because presence low-order resonances in profile can cause breakup equilibrium magnetic surfaces. use additional also permits reduction total current deepen well.

The incorporation of l-lysine-U-C 14 into protein slices experimentally induced cryptorchid testes the rat has been studied at various time periods ranging from 4 to 40 days after abdominal transplantation. Comparisons labeling radioactive lysine adult scrotal testes, immature and an interstitial-cell testicular tumor mouse have also carried out. In addition, effects temperature exogenous glucose on these tissues investigated. data obtained indicate that labeled is markedly greater than...
