AbstractThe Cotton-Mouton effect in sheared plasma with helical magnetic lines is studied on the basis of the equation for complex amplitude ratio (CAR). A simple model for helical magnetic lines in sheared plasma of toroidal configuration is suggested. The equation for CAR in the sheared plasma is solved by perturbation method, using the small shear angle deviations as is characteristic for tokamak plasma. It is shown that the inaccuracy in polarization measurements caused by deviations of the sheared angle amounts to some percentage of the shearless Cotton-Mouton phase shift. One suggested method is to subtract the “sheared” term, which may improve the accuracy of the Cotton-Mouton measurements in the sheared plasma.

The ideal MHD equilibrium, stability, classical diffusion, effective thermal conductivity, and Ohmic heating of a zero-shear toroidal plasma configuration with a single non-planar magnetic axis of variable torsion and curvature are investigated. The plasma has a circular cross-section through which a longitudinal current density with arbitrary profile flows. In this type of magnetic configuration, the magnetic surfaces arbitrarily rotate around the magnetic axis. This magnetic toroidal configuration is of a stellarator type with a non-planar magnetic axis. The present work also covers as special cases tokamak and a magnetic toroidal plasma configuration with a magnetic axis of arbitrarily modulated curvature.

We are studying the electromagnetic wave (magnetic transverse mode) propagation on the surface of a circular cross section metallic cylinder coated with one or several dielectrics. The method we use allows us to study not only the case of ordinary metals, but also the case of superconductor metals. We determine the precise analytical expressions (for any kind of metal) of characteristic quantities: attenuation factor and phase shift.

The neoclassical diffusion in a tokamak is calculated for a finite-β plasma. The flux of the particles is shown to be substantially unchanged, with respect to the low-β case. The ‘equilibrium’ equation is derived. From it the magnetic surfaces can be obtained, once the external electromagnetic field and the density and temperature profiles are given. The case of magnetic surfaces with circular cross-section, in the small aspect ratio limit, is considered in detail.

The biological objectives of root canal treatment have not changed over the recentdecades, but the methods to attain these goals have been greatly modified. Theintroduction of NiTi rotary files represents a major leap in the development ofendodontic instruments, with a wide variety of sophisticated instruments presentlyavailable (1, 2).Whatever their modification or improvement, all of these instruments have onething in common: they consist of a metal core with some type of rotating blade thatmachines the canal with a circular motion using flutes to carry the dentin chips anddebris coronally. Consequently, all rotary NiTi files will machine the root canal to acylindrical bore with a circular cross-section if the clinician applies them in a strictboring manner
