THE SEPARATRIX ELECTRON DENSITY IN JET, ASDEX UPGRADE AND ALCATOR C-MOD H-MODE PLASMAS: A COMMON EVALUATION PROCEDURE AND CORRELATION WITH ENGINEERING PARAMETERS

The separatrix electron density is an important parameter for core-edge scenario integration in tokamak devices, as it influences plasma confinement, divertor detachment and disruption avoidance.This quantity has been measured in H-mode discharges on JET, ASDEX Upgrade and Alcator C-Mod by applying the same fitting function to Thomson scattering me

RNA-Seq is increasingly being used to measure human RNA expression on a genome-wide scale.Expression profiles can be interrogated to identify and functionally characterize treatment-responsive genes.Ultimately, such controlled studies promise to reveal insights into molecular mechanisms of treatment effects, identify biomarkers, and realize persona

Objective: To develop and validate a tool for evaluating balance and neuromotor function in patients with fibromyalgia (FMS).Methods: Brainstorming, the nominal group technique, and pilot-testing were used to select a battery of 20 functional balance tests that were included in a screening tool.A total of 108 subjects (62 with fibromyalgia syndrome
