Artificially Structured Boundary for a high purity ion trap or ion source (open access)

Artificially Structured Boundary for a high purity ion trap or ion source

This article proposes a plasma enclosed by an Artificially Structured Boundary (ASB) as an alternative to existing ion source assemblies. In accelerator applications, many ion sources can have a limited lifetime or frequent service intervals due to sputtering and eventual degradation of the ion source assembly. Ions are accelerated towards the exit canal of positive ion sources, whereas, due to the biasing scheme, electrons or negative ions are accelerated towards the back of the ion source assembly.

Magnetobound positronium and protonium (open access)

Magnetobound positronium and protonium

This article investigates the formation of magnetobound positronium and protonium via classical trajectory simulations of binary point charge interactions in an external magnetic field. The results of computer simulations of the fully three-dimensional trajectories of classical and non-relativistic point charges with the same mass, equal charge magnitude, and opposite sign are reported. The simulations show the formation of magnetobound positronium and protonium. The results yield formation cross sections, which are compared to analytical expressions. Additionally, the results reveal that magnetobound states drift across magnetic field lines.

Phase space of positron trajectories exiting a charged particle source through a magnetic field point cusp (open access)

Phase space of positron trajectories exiting a charged particle source through a magnetic field point cusp

This article presents a configuration of magnetic fields using properties of cylindrically symmetric permanent magnets as a candidate to produce a high purity charged particle source or trap. Cylindrically symmetric hollow permanent magnets produce magnetic field point cusps on the axis of symmetry. A magnetic field point cusp reflects all particles that lie outside a narrow region of phase space, a region dependent on particle kinetic energies and on the magnetic field intensity.

Explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language adults in a multi-major technical writing course (open access)

Explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language adults in a multi-major technical writing course

In this article, the author reports the effects of explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language students enrolled in a multi-major technical writing course. Previous experimental research has demonstrated the efficacy of explicitly teaching academic writing to English first-language adults, but no comparable study on technical writing exists.

Negative Regulation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-3 Signalling Cascade by Lupeol Inhibits Growth and Induces Apoptosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells (open access)

Negative Regulation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-3 Signalling Cascade by Lupeol Inhibits Growth and Induces Apoptosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells

In this article, the authors evaluate the effect of lupeol on STAT3 signalling cascade and its regulated functional responses in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription signalling 3 (STAT3) has been linked with survival, proliferation and angiogenesis in a wide variety of malignancies including HCC. Lupeol exhibited its potential anticancer effects in HCC through the downregulation of STAT3-induced pro-survival signalling cascade.
