Katsuro-Hopkins, A. Klein, Y. Liu, D. A. Maurer, D. Maslovsky, G. A. Navratil, T. S. Pedersen, M. Shilov, and N. Stillits Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA e-mail contact of main author: [email protected] Abstract. Fundamental theory, experimental observations, and modeling of resistive wall mode (RWM) dynamics and active feedback control are reported. In the RWM, the plasma responds to and interacts with external current-carrying conductors. Although this response is complex, it is still possible to construct simple but accurate models for kink dynamics by combining separate determinations for the external currents, using the VALEN code, and for the plasma’s inductance matrix, using an MHD code such as DCON. These computations have been performed for wall-stabilized kink modes in the HBT-EP device, and they illustrate a remarkable feature of the theory: when the plasma’s inductance matrix is dominated by a single eigenmode and when the surrounding current-carrying structures are properly characterized, then the resonant kink response is represented by a small number of parameters. In HBT-EP, RWM dynamics are studied by programming quasi-static and rapid “phase-flip” changes of the external magnetic perturbation and directly measuring the plasma response as a function of kink stability and plasma rotation. The response evolves in time, is easily measured, and involves excitation of both the wall-stabilized kink and the RWM.

  • Overview Release
    Chicago Architecture Biennial’s Fourth Edition, The Available City Opens to the Public on Friday, September 17 CHICAGO (August 25, 2021) – The fourth edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB) will open to the public on September 17, responding to an urban design framework that proposes connecting community residents, architects, and designers to develop and create spaces that reflect the needs of communities and neighborhoods. Over 80 contributors from more than 18 countries will respond to this framework through site-specific architectural projects, exhibitions, and programs across eight neighborhoods in Chicago and in the digital sphere. Curated by the Biennial’s 2021 Artistic Director—designer, researcher, and educator David Brown—The Available City will present projects and programs that ask and respond to the question of who gets to participate in the design of the city by exploring new perspectives and approaches to policies. The Available City illuminates the potential for immediate new possibilities, highlights improvisational organizers of the city, and underscores the exponential impact of small elements in aggregate. The Biennial is free and open to the public beginning on Friday, September 17. It will be on view at sites and in locations throughout the city, activated through in-person and online programming through December 18, 2021. Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot commented, “The Biennial always represents a remarkable time for our city, when residents, visitors, cultural organizations, and businesses come together to explore new ideas and potential for Chicago and cities worldwide. It is inspiring to see the projects and ideas developed by Chicago residents and the contributors highlighting the potential for vacant spaces.

  • Looking for New Earth in the Coming Decade
    Detection of Earth-like Planets with NWO With discoveries like methane on Mars (Mumma et al. 2009) and super-Earth planets orbiting nearby stars (Howard et al. 2009), the fields of exobiology and exoplanetary science are breaking new ground on almost a weekly basis. These two fields will one day merge, with the high goal of discovering Earth-like planets orbiting nearby stars and the subsequent search for signs of life on those planets. The Kepler mission will soon place clear bounds on the frequency of terrestrial-sized planets (Basri et al. 2008). Beyond that, the great challenge is to determine their true natures. Are terrestrial exoplanets anything like Earth, with life forms able to thrive even on the surface? What is the range of conditions under which Earth-like and other habitable worlds can arise? Every stellar system in the solar neighborhood is entirely unique, and it is almost certain that anything that can happen, will. With current and near-term technology, we can make great strides in finding and characterizing planets in the habitable zones of nearby stars. Given reasonable mission specifications for the New Worlds Observer, the layout of the stars in the solar neighborhood, and their variable characteristics (especially exozodiacal dust) a direct imaging mission can detect and characterize dozens of Earths. Not only does direct imaging achieve detection of planets in a single visit, but photometry, spectroscopy, polarimetry and time-variability in those signals place strong constraints on how those planets compare to our own, including plausible ranges in planet mass and atmospheric and internal structure.

  • Notes on the Calendar and the Almanac
    1914.] Notes on Calendar and Almanac. 11 NOTES ON THE CALENDAR AND THE ALMANAC. BY GEORGE EMERY LITTLEFIELD. In answering the question, why do the officers of pub- he libraries and bibliophiles so highly esteem and strive to make collections of old calendars and almanacs, it may be said that the calendar was coeval with and had a great influence upon civilization. Indeed, the slow but gradual formation of what we know as a calendar is an excellent illustration of the progress of civilization. At first it was a very crude scheme for recording the passing of time, deduced from irregular observations of the rising and setting of a few fixed stars, by a people who had but recently emerged from barbarism. The resultant table was of very little value and required constant revision and correction. It was only by long and patient study and observation, by gaining knowledge from repeated failures, that finally was produced the accurate and scientific register, which today bears the name of calendar. Furthermore, the material and shape of the tablet upon which the calendar was engraved or printed, was a constant .temptation to artists to decorate it with pen- cil or brush, which caused it to become a valuable me- dium for inculcating in the minds of the people, ideas of the sublime and beautiful, and never more so than at the present time. As regards the almanac, it also is of ancient memory, as we have positive evidence of its existence more than twelve hundred years before the Christian era. To its compilation scientists, philosophers, theologians, poets 12 American Antiquarian Sodety.
