A thorough analysis of energetic particle modes ~EPM! stability and mode structures is presented for tokamaks with hollow q profiles. Focusing on the region near the minimum-q surface, EPM gap modes and resonant EPMs are shown to exist as solutions of the same dispersion relation. By controlling the fast ion distribution function, or, equivalently, their fundamental dynamical properties, a smoo...

It has been previously reported that Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats may be useful in the study of the biological mechanisms involved in stress-related disorders. In the present study, WKY were treated acutely or chronically (one daily i.p. injection for 22-24 days) with the selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor and clinically effective antidepressant and anxiolytic fluoxetine (5 and 20 mg/kg) and exposed ...

In recent years, improvement of software process is increasingly gaining attention. However, its practice is not easy because of difficulties of data collection and utilization of collected data. In this paper, we introduce Empirical Project Monitor (EPM), which is an automatic data collection and analysis system to support software process improvement. Collecting data from common tools used in...

Finding an accurate computational method for estimating pan evaporation (EPm) can be useful in the application of these methods development sustainable agricultural systems and water resources management. In present study, proposed hybrid called multiple model-support vector machine (MM-SVM) with aim showing increasing, decreasing, constant accuracy behavior this model improving results EP comp...

The purpose of this work is to incorporate numerically, in a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) solver of a Boltzmann-Poisson model for hot electron transport, an electronic conduction band whose values are obtained by the spherical averaging of the full band structure given by a local empirical pseudopotential method (EPM) around a local minimum of the conduction band for silicon, as a midpoint betwe...

Prairie (Microtus ochrogaster) and meadow voles (M. pennsylvanicus) are closely related species that differ in life strategy and social behaviors, and thus provide an excellent comparative model for the study of neuronal and hormonal mechanisms underlying behavior. In the present study using the elevated plus maze (EPM) test, we found that male prairie voles entered the open arms of the EPM mor...

Abstract Recent observations in HL-2A tokamak give new experimental evidences of energetic particle mode (EPM) avalanche. In a strong EPM burst, the structure propagates radially outward within two hundred Alfvén time, while frequency dominant changes self-consistently to maximize wave-particle power exchange and growth. This suggests that significant transport occurs this avalanche phase, agre...

A common epithelial cell surface marker (EPM-1) was defined by two monoclonal antibodies (Pa-25 and Pa-42), raised against a pancreatic tumor cell line (Capan-1). Both monoclonal antibodies were tested on 49 cultured human cell lines and 244 tissue samples and reacted with all 76 tissue samples of 20 different normal epithelial cell types and with 57 of 63 epithelial tumor tissue samples of non...

Systematic individual differences between male Wistar rats can be detected in paradigms such as the elevated plus maze (EPM), which is a widely used behavioral paradigm that measures fear-motivated avoidance behavior. It has been extensively used to assess anxiety profiles with face, construct and predictive validities. During a typical EPM test, animals actively avoid the open arms in favour o...
