A time-accurate 2D axisymmetric Hybrid PIC-MCC model is used to simulate the plasma flow in the acceleration channel and near-field plume of a Hall thruster. The model is applied to the P5 Hall thruster due to known magnetic configuration and the availability of experimental data on the plasma properties in the interior and near-field plume for this thruster. Results for thruster performance an...

abstract background and aims. reliable immunohistochemical assays to evaluate the definitive role of mast cells and angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of oral reactive lesions are generally not available. the purpose of the present study was to compare mast cell count (mcc) and microvessel density (mvd) between oral reactive lesions and evaluation of the correlation between mcc and mvd in these l...

conclusions the findings of this study are consistent with the hypothesis that local, systemic, or tumor-induced immunosuppression may allow the mcpyv to initiate skin aggressive cancer. it is necessary to maintain regular check over patients taking immunosuppressive medications for mcpyv infection. since there is not any information about detection and molecular biology analysis of mcpyv among...

Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capricolum (Mcc) is one of the causative agents of contagious agalactia (CA), which is an important disease in sheep and goats in the Mediterranean and Middle East countries. Mycoplasma agalactiae is the classic agent of CA in sheep and goats. Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies Capri (Mmc), Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capricolum (Mcc), and Mycoplasma putrefacie...

As a well-established adaptation criterion, the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) has been receiving increasing attention due to its robust against outliers. In this paper, a new complex recursive maximum correntropy (CRMC) algorithm without any priori information on the noise characteristics, is proposed under the MCC. The proposed algorithm is useful for adaptive beamforming, when the desir...

We study the role of guide field in relativistic magnetic reconnection in a Harris current sheet of pair (e±) plasmas, using linear theories and particlein-cell (PIC) simulations. Two-dimensional PIC simulations exhibit the guide field dependence to the linear instabilities; the tearing or reconnection modes are relatively insensitive, while the relativistic drift-kink instability (RDKI), the f...

We discuss the parametric instabilities of large-amplitude parallel propagating Alfvén waves using the 2-D PIC simulation code. First, we confirmed the results in the past study [Sakai et al., 2005] that the electrons are heated due to the modified two stream instability and that the ions are heated by the parallel propagating ion acoustic waves. However, although the past study argued that suc...
