Fast ion confinement in quasi-axisymmetric stellarator equilibria by P.J. Bonofiglo, D.W. Dudt, C.P.S. Swanson

“…The particle tracking simulations are purely (neo)classical in nature and simply contain the supplied equilibrium and collisions (pitch-angle, energy slowing, and velocity diffusion) from supplied thermal profiles. Uniform marker deposition is used to probe the general confinement properties of the equilibria while a realistic beam-born population is provided from the BEAMS3D code and an alpha particle population is calculated from a fusion source integrator. …”

Surgical Removal of a Canine Aortic Thromboembolism Secondary to Pancreatitis by Jill Narak, Emily C. Graff, Katrin Saile, D. Michael Tillson

“…The neurologic examination suggested a L4-S3 myelopathy, but physical examination revealed lack of femoral pulses and rectal hypothermia, as well as a grade II/VI systolic heart murmur, so ischemic neuromyopathy was suspected. Clinicopathologic analysis revealed increased muscle enzymes and proteinuria. …”
