We present a novel method for numerically finding quasi-isodynamic stellarator magnetic fields with excellent fast-particle confinement and extremely small neoclassical transport. The method works particularly well in configurations with only one field period. We examine the properties of these newfound quasi-isodynamic configurations, including their transport coefficients, particle confinement and available energy for trapped-electron-instability-driven turbulence, as well as the degree to which they change when a finite pressure profile is added. We finally discuss the differences between the magnetic axes of the optimized solutions and their respective initial conditions, and conclude with the prospects for future quasi-isodynamic optimization.

Summary
A regional block, also known as a localized block, is a type of anesthetic that blocks nerve transmission to prevent or alleviate pain. Regional anesthesia is the process of injecting an anesthetic substance into a peripheral nerve and inhibiting transmission to avoid or treat pain. It is distinct from general anesthesia in that it does not alter the patient’s level of awareness to alleviate pain. There are numerous advantages of regional anesthesia over general anesthesia, including avoidance of airway manipulation, lower dosages, fewer systemic medication adverse effects, shorter recovery period, and considerably less discomfort following surgery.

A single-field-period quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration is presented. This configuration, which resembles a twisted strip, is obtained by the method of direct construction, that is, it is found via an expansion in the distance from the magnetic axis. Its discovery, however, relied on an additional step involving numerical optimization, performed within the space of near-axis configurations defined by a set of adjustable magnetic field parameters. This optimization, completed in 30 s on a single CPU core using the SIMSOPT code, yields a solution with excellent confinement, as measured by the conventional figure of merit for neoclassical transport, effective ripple, at a modest aspect ratio of eight. The optimization parameters that led to this configuration are described, its confinement properties are assessed and a set of magnetic field coils is found. The resulting transport at low collisionality is much smaller than that of W7-X, and the device needs significantly fewer coils because of the reduced number of field periods.

In stellarator optimization studies, the boundary of the plasma is usually described by Fourier series that are not unique: several sets of Fourier coefficients describe approximately the same boundary shape. A simple method for eliminating this arbitrariness is proposed and shown to work well in practice.

We describe here efforts to create and study magnetized electron–positron pair plasmas, the existence of which in astrophysical environments is well-established. Laboratory incarnations of such systems are becoming ever more possible due to novel approaches and techniques in plasma, beam and laser physics. Traditional magnetized plasmas studied to date, both in nature and in the laboratory, exhibit a host of different wave types, many of which are generically unstable and evolve into turbulence or violent instabilities. This complexity and the instability of these waves stem to a large degree from the difference in mass between the positively and the negatively charged species: the ions and the electrons. The mass symmetry of pair plasmas, on the other hand, results in unique behaviour, a topic that has been intensively studied theoretically and numerically for decades, but experimental studies are still in the early stages of development. A levitated dipole device is now under construction to study magnetized low-energy, short-Debye-length electron–positron plasmas; this experiment, as well as a stellarator device that is in the planning stage, will be fuelled by a reactor-based positron source and make use of state-of-the-art positron cooling and storage techniques. Relativistic pair plasmas with very different parameters will be created using pair production resulting from intense laser–matter interactions and will be confined in a high-field mirror configuration. We highlight the differences between and similarities among these approaches, and discuss the unique physics insights that can be gained by these studies.

High-$Z$ impurities in magnetic-confinement devices are prone to develop density variations on the flux surface, which can significantly affect their transport. In this paper, we generalize earlier analytic stellarator calculations of the neoclassical radial impurity flux in the mixed-collisionality regime (collisional impurities and low-collisionality bulk ions) to include the effect of such flux-surface variations. We find that only in the homogeneous density case is the transport of highly collisional impurities (in the Pfirsch–Schlüter regime) independent of the radial electric field. We study these effects for a Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) vacuum field, with simple analytic models for the potential perturbation, under the assumption that the impurity density is given by a Boltzmann response to a perturbed potential. In the W7-X case studied, we find that larger amplitude potential perturbations cause the radial electric field to dominate the transport of the impurities. In addition, we find that classical impurity transport can be larger than the neoclassical transport in W7-X.

The accumulation of impurities in the core of magnetically confined plasmas, resulting from standard collisional transport mechanisms, is a known threat to their performance as fusion energy sources. Whilst the axisymmetric tokamak systems have been shown to benefit from the effect of temperature screening, that is an outward flux of impurities driven by the temperature gradient, impurity accumulation in stellarators was thought to be inevitable, driven robustly by the inward pointing electric field characteristic of hot fusion plasmas. We have shown in Helander et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 118, 2017a, 155002) that such screening can in principle also appear in stellarators, in the experimentally relevant mixed collisionality regime, where a highly collisional impurity species is present in a low collisionality bulk plasma. Details of the analytic calculation are presented here, along with the effect of the impurity on the bulk ion flow, which will ultimately affect the bulk contribution to the bootstrap current.

Upper bounds are derived on the amount of magnetic energy that can be generated by dynamo action in collisional and collisionless plasmas with and without external forcing. A hierarchy of mathematical descriptions is considered for the plasma dynamics: ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), visco-resistive MHD, the double-adiabatic theory of Chew, Goldberger and Low (CGL), kinetic MHD and other kinetic models. It is found that dynamo action is greatly constrained in models where the magnetic moment of any particle species is conserved. In the absence of external forcing, the magnetic energy then remains small at all times if it is small in the initial state. In other words, a small ‘seed’ magnetic field cannot be amplified significantly, regardless of the nature of flow, as long as the collision frequency and gyroradius are small enough to be negligible. A similar conclusion also holds if the system is subject to external forcing as long as this forcing conserves the magnetic moment of at least one plasma species and does not greatly increase the total energy of the plasma (i.e. in practice, is subsonic). Dynamo action therefore always requires collisions or some small-scale kinetic mechanism for breaking the adiabatic invariance of the magnetic moment.

The theory of linear interaction between internal kink modes and fusionproduced high-energy alpha particles in a toroidal plasma is extended by including finite-banana-width corrections to the alpha dynamics. An important implication of the theory for the stability properties of kink modes is that the finite-banana-width effects increase the value of the poloidal alpha beta required to attain the stable domain of operation as well as that required to excite the high-frequency fishbone instability. Furthermore, these effects lead to a reduction in the instability growth rate in both the low- and high-frequency unstable regimes.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) serotype O169[ratio ]H41 organisms have become the most prevalent ETEC in Japan since the first outbreak in 1991. It was assumed that the outbreaks were due to clonal spread of this new ETEC serotype. The relationship of 32 strains isolated from 6 outbreaks were examined for biotype, antibiotic susceptibility, enterotoxigenicity, protein banding pattern, lipopolysaccharide banding pattern, plasmid analysis, and ribotyping. Further, the strains were examined by haemagglutination, surface hydrophobicity, and the ability to adhere to HEp-2 cells. The present study suggests that the outbreaks were caused by multiple clones of STp-producing O169[ratio ]H41 since they showed differences in ribotype and outer membrane protein banding patterns. The strains did not agglutinate human or bovine red blood cells in a mannose-resistant manner. They adhered to HEp-2 cells in a manner resembling enteroaggregative E. coli. Five strains were examined by dot-blot tests for the colonization factor antigens CFA/I, CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CS7, PCFO159, PCFO166 and CFA/III. Although four strains expressed CS6, no structure for CS6 was identified. A strain that the anti-CS6 MAbs did not react with could adhere to HEp-2 cells in mannose resistant manner; thus, it is unlikely that CS6 play an important role in the adhesion to the cells. Electron microscopy studies of the O169[ratio ]H41 strains suggested that curly fimbriae, a possible new colonization factor, may be playing an important role in the adhesion of the bacteria to HEp-2 cells. In conclusion, outbreaks due to ETEC O169: H41 were caused by multiple clones, and the strains should be examined in detail for a possible new colonization factor.

We determined the occurrence of birth rust fungus (Melampsoridium betulinum) within mature mountain birch (Betula pubescens var. czerepanovii) trees and compared the airborne urediniospore concentrations with overall rust infection levels over five successive years. Fifteen groups of three trees 3–5 m high were chosen from a homogenous mountain birch stand. Each group contained a tree with ‘low’, ‘moderate’ and ‘high’ infection covering the natural range of infection levels. The difference in rust classes remained constant throughout the study; trees in class ‘high’ consistently had always highest infection levels and trees in class ‘low’ always the lowest infection levels. Infection levels remained constant between years in ‘low’ class, while the infection levels varied significantly between years in ‘moderate’ and ‘high’ classes. The incidence of disease caused by M. betulinum varied from year to year and was correlated with the total airborne urediniospore counts. The data indicate that trees differ in resistance to birch rust and that infection levels of susceptible compared to resistant trees are more dependent on environmental conditions.

Dans 2 ruisseaux artificiels similaires, 500 alevins vésiculés de Truite commune Salmo trutta L. sont introduits et les alevins "dévalants" de ces ruisseaux sont recueillis et déversés dans un troisième ruisseau identique aux 2 premiers. Le comportement et l'activité des alevins "dévalants" et sédentaires sont observés : une liaison apparaît entre l'activité de dévalaison nocturne des très jeunes alevins et le comportement d'immobilité sur le substrat le jour. Les alevins "dévalants" sont moins actifs globalement que les alevins sédentaires. L'hypothèse du retard de développement des alevins "dévalants" se trouve renforcée.

A partir d'une population de 500 alevins vésicules de Truite commune Salmo trutta L., introduits dans un ruisseau artificiel, les alevins "dévalants" sont isolés par un système de piégeages successifs et marqués par ablation de nageoire. Puis ils sont introduits dans d'autres ruisseaux artificiels vides d'occupants et leur comportement est observé.
Comme dans la nature, les alevins dévalent la nuit. Certains alevins dévalent plus longtemps que d'autres. Cependant, tous les alevins "dévalants" survivants finissent par adopter un comportement de nage statique diurne et s'organisent en une mosaïque de territoires. Mais ils le font plus tardivement que les sédentaires demeurés dans le premier ruisseau expérimental. Les alevins "dévalants" sont plus petits que les sédentaires à la fin de l'expérience. Leurs comportements de nage et territorial tardifs ainsi que leur moindre croissance renforcent l'hypothèse selon laquelle les alevins "dévalants" présentent un retard de développement par rapport aux alevins sédentaires.

500 alevins vésiculés sont introduits dans des graviers d'un ruisseau artificiel. A partir de l'émergence, l'activité de certains alevins est enregistrée quotidiennement pendant 30 minutes.
L'essentiel de cette activité précoce se traduit par un comportement de nage contre le courant pour maintenir une position stable. Au début, ce comportement de nage statique est effectué en séquences brèves. Ensuite, les alevins exécutent des séquences de nage statique de plus en plus longues et de moins en moins nombreuses. Le comportement de nage statique précède le comportement territorial.
