As soon as an idea is expressed in a physical medium, such as writing a paper, it qualifies for copyright protection. Copyright is a legal right that gives the copyright holder exclusive rights over how others use their work. The level and type of protection offered by copyright varies between countries. A form of intellectual property, copyright can be dealt with like other types of property – it can be acquired, disposed of or licensed. Copyright is time-limited. The period of protection varies, but in most countries a journal article created at the present time will be protected for between 50 and 70 years from the death of the last surviving author. By means of a number of local and international laws and conventions, copyright which arises in one country is recognised and protected in many others. Treatment of copyright in the digital environment is evolving at an unprecedented rate. Copyright exists to protect the rights of an owner of an original piece of work by imposing restrictions on reuse but it does not always fit well with how we use and share information in the digital sphere. -
1 the Derivation of Particle Monte Carlo Methods for Plasma Modeling
The derivation of Particle Monte Carlo methods for plasma modeling from transport equations. Savino Longo Dipartimento di Chimica dell'Università and CNR/IMIP, Via Orabona 4, 70126 Bari, Italy. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: We analyze here in some detail, the derivation of the Particle and Monte Carlo methods of plasma simulation, such as Particle in Cell (PIC), Monte Carlo (MC) and Particle in Cell / Monte Carlo (PIC/MC) from formal manipulation of transport equations. Keywords: Charged Particle Transport, Boltzmann Equation, Monte Carlo Methods, Particle-in-Cell, Vlasov/Boltzmann equation 1 1.Introduction An accurate calculation of the velocity distribution of charged particles in non equilibrium plasmas is necessary in order to evaluate the rate at which collisional elementary processes take place in these media as well as their transport properties [1]. In doing so, one has to take into account the effect of inertia, scattering, externally applied and self-coherent fields, all affecting the particle transport. To this aim, different particle simulation techniques have been used extensively, as an alternative to the grid-based solution of transport equations [1] by finite differences or finite element techniques. To these belong the very well-know Test Particle Monte Carlo (TPMC, or simply Monte Carlo, MC [1]), the Particle in Cell (PIC [2,3]) and Particle in Cell / Monte Carlo methods (PIC/MC [4]). No explicit description of the methods will be given here because of their widespread application within the plasma modelling community, and we assume in the following that they are already known to the reader. -

In sufficiently simple cases analytical solutions of these models exist and then this can be used to predict the behaviour of a similar experiment. However in many cases, especially when the model is based on first principles, it is so complex that there is no analytical solution available. Then there are two options: the first is to simplify the model until it can be analytically solved, the second is to compute an approximate solution using a computer. In practice both are usually done, the simplified models being used to verify that the code is working properly. Due to the enormous development of computer resources in the last 50 years, quite realistic simulations of physical problems become now possible. A large amount of theoretical work in physics and related disciplines, in particular in plasma physics, now relies quite heavily on numerical simulation. Computational sciences have emerged next to theory and experiments as a third pillar in physics and engineering. Designing efficient, robust and accurate simulation codes is a challenging task that is at the interface of the application domain, plasma physics in our case, applied mathematics and computer science. -
The Endless Frontier 75Th Anniversary Edition
the endless frontier 75th Anniversary Edition VANNEVAR BUSH Reprinted in celebration of the National Science Foundation’s 70th anniversary1 | 1950-2020 Book cover photo: © Arnold Newman Collection via Getty Images SCIENCE THE ENDLESS FRONTIER A Report to the President by VANNEVAR BUSH Director of the Ofce of Scientifc Research and Development July 1945 Foreword by France A. Crdova, 14th Director of NSF Reissued by the National Science Foundation in celebration of the agency’s 70th anniversary and the 75th anniversary of Science—the Endless Frontier CELEBRATING NSF’S 70th BIRTHDAY By France A. Crdova, 14th Director of NSF “...basic research is the pacemaker of technological progress.” That statement is as relevant today as it was in 1945 when Vannevar Bush wrote it in his landmark tract, Science—the Endless Frontier. In the report, submitted to President Harry S. Truman, Bush made the case for creating a new agency that he and others felt was needed to support the underlying basic research essential for combatting disease, ensuring national security, and increasing the standard of living, including supporting new industries and jobs. Bush drew an important lesson from directing the Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II: “The most important ways in which the Government can promote industrial research are to increase the flow of new scientific knowledge through support of basic research and to aid in the development of scientific talent.” Bush desired that the benefits of scientific re- search realized during the war could have even wider application postwar. He advocated for government funding of basic research in universities, colleges, and research institutes because that’s where the talent was. -

Sovinec Department of Engineering Physics, University of Wisconsin, 1500 Engineering Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 ͑Received 20 October 2005; accepted 6 January 2006; published online 11 May 2006͒ Strongly magnetized plasmas are rich in spatial and temporal scales, making a computational approach useful for studying these systems. The most accurate model of a magnetized plasma is based on a kinetic equation that describes the evolution of the distribution function for each species in six-dimensional phase space. High dimensionality renders this approach impractical for computations for long time scales. Fluid models are an approximation to the kinetic model. -
Book Review Tuxedo Park, by Jennet Conant (Simon & Schuster, 2002), 330 Pp., ISBN 0684872870, $26.00
Book Review Tuxedo Park, by Jennet Conant (Simon & Schuster, 2002), 330 pp., ISBN 0684872870, $26.00 Reviewed by Jane A. Roman Department of Chemistry, Regis College, Weston, MA In the early chapters of this book, Jennet Conant, granddaughter of James Conant former President of Harvard and esteemed scientist, describes brilliantly the life of Alfred Lee Loomis, philanthropist, scientist and Wall Street tycoon. Prompted by the mysterious circumstances surrounding the suicide of her granduncle, William Richards, son of Nobel laureate Theodore William Richards, Jennet using her granduncles’ notes and letters, wrote this biography, which is a small but significant chapter in the history of American science. Her accounts of Loomis depict his relationships with many Nobel Laureates in science and also detail an illicit love affair Loomis had with Manette Hobart, the wife of Garrett A. Hobart III, his protégé and secretary at Tuxedo Park. The setting for most of the book is the region of Tuxedo Park in Orange County, New York where Loomis established a research laboratory, funded solely by his personal fortune. Very important discoveries in radar detection, atomic fission, and other wartime inventions that led the allies to victory over the Germans were made there. Because the circumstances surrounding her granduncle’s death and the hush-up carried out by her family were indicative of the gentry at that time, Ms. Conant was prompted to reveal in her novel the relationship her granduncle had with Loomis in Tuxedo Park. From his papers and letters, she describes how Richards and his friend at Princeton, George Kistiakowsky, came to work at Tuxedo Park, often referring to it as a private scientific playground in the Ramapo Mountains. -
