In tokamaks, the strong dependence on the toroidal magnetic field of both plasma pressure and energy confinement is what makes possible the construction of small and relatively inexpensive burning plasma experiments using high-field resistive coils. On the other hand, the toroidal magnetic field of tokamaks using superconducting coils is limited by the critical field of superconductivity. In this article, we examine the relative merit of raising the magnetic field of a tokamak plasma by increasing its aspect ratio at a constant value of the peak field in the toroidal magnet. Taking ITER-FEAT as an example, we find that it is possible to reach thermonuclear ignition using an aspect ratio of approximately 4.5 and a toroidal magnetic field of 7.3 T. Under these conditions, fusion power density and neutron wall loading are the same as in ITER [International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor], but the normalized plasma beta is substantially smaller. Furthermore, such a tokamak would be able to reach an energy gain of approximately 15 even with the deterioration in plasma confinement that is known to occur near the density limit where ITER is forced to operate.

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "The point of spirituality is relationship with God. Knowing God relationally requires that we listen for His word and live within it. Join us as we search together for a God-oriented life."

This report reviews federal and state hazardous waste regulatory programs that govern the management of chemical weapons or chemical warfare agents. It addresses state programs in the eight states with chemical weapon storage facilities managed by the U.S. Army: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Oregon, and Utah. It also includes discussions on 32 additional states or jurisdictions with known or suspected chemical weapons or chemical warfare agent presence (e.g., disposal sites containing chemical agent identification sets): Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C., and Wyoming. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste programs are reviewed to determine whether chemical weapons or chemical warfare agents are listed hazardous wastes or otherwise defined or identified as hazardous wastes. Because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) military munitions rule specifically addresses the management of chemical munitions, this report also indicates whether a state has adopted the rule and whether the resulting state regulations have been authorized by EPA. Many states have adopted parts or all of the …

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "The church cultivates believing souls by answering compelling questions, while the artist cultivates seeing souls by raising compelling images. Is there a conflict - an identity - in the believing artist's dual relationship with the Kingdom and the "world?" How can she be true to her work and be true to the community of faith?"

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "How can we hope to "Recover Spirituality" without recovering a rubust doctrine of the indwelling Holy Spirit? Is spirituality anything other than life in the Spirit of God? This life in the Spirit begins at baptism - spirituality's defining moment. Rediscover the Spirit's grace working in your life."

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "Why do some Christians appear to have little joy in the Lord? Why do so many Christians seek joy from what is destructive? God envisions that His church be a people who have found delight in Him."

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "These presentations claim that the wrath of God is another face of His holy love dealing with humanity's sin. It embraces humanity as a whole and shows itself as the suffering we see in the world. The wrath not only speaks of the sinfulness of our sin; it proclaims God's steadfast refusal to let us sink without trace. And since His loving wrath is so pervasive and relentless, it implies a glorious end that will "justify the means.""

Indirect-drive targets for heavy-ion fusion must initially be heated by ''foot'' pulses that precede the main heating pulses by tens of nanoseconds. These pulses typically have a lower energy and perveance than the main pulses, and the fusion-chamber environment is different from that seen by later pulses. The preliminary particle-in-cell simulations of foot pulses here examine the sensitivity of the beam focusing to ion-beam perveance, background-gas density, and pre-neutralization by a plasma near the chamber entry port.

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "When Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me," He wasn't just inviting them to Sunday school; He was affirming their place in His Kingdom, His church. Growing a new generation of faith-filled Christians requires a commitment to rich communal practices that enable children to learn the language of faith, participate in the life of God's people and receive their lives as a celebration of the believing community."

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 8:30 AM at Abilene Christian University: "Agriculturists and horticulturists often boast of their mystical green thumb, which helps them produce bountiful harvests of fruits, vegetables and flowers. These sessions will explore ways that the Christian can develop a "green thumb" as he or she seeks to fulfill that all-important mandate to grow spiritually."

Lecture given Wednesday, February 20, 2002, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "Everyone wants to be part of a "faithful" church. But "faithful" to what? To an apostolic patter? To an inherited tradition? To the purposes God intends for the church? We are commissioned people. God has work for us to do. This class identifies what God wants the church to be about and encourages to put that work first."

Light emitting diodes and blue laser diodes grown on GaN have been demonstrated despite six orders of magnitude higher dislocation density than that for III-V arsenide and phosphide diodes. Understanding and determination of dislocation cores in GaN is crucial since both theoretical and experimental work are somewhat contradictory. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) has been applied to study the layers grown by hydride vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) (under Ga rich conditions) in plan-view and cross-section samples. This study suggests that despite the fact that voids are formed along the dislocation line in HVPE material, the dislocations have closed cores. Similar results of closed core are obtained for the screw dislocation in the MBE material, confirming earlier studies.
