The mathematical statement of the three basic consequences of this principle for sawtoothing discharges are: (r1/a) = F1 (1/q/sub a/), /T/sub eo/ = F2(1/q/sub a/), and a unique scaling law for the central electron temperature T/sub eo/, where r1 is the sawtooth inversion radius and is the volume average T/sub e/. Since for a given T/sub e/(r), the ohmic current j(r) can be deduced from Ohm's law, given the function F1, the function F2 is uniquely fixed and vice versa. Also given F1(1/q/sub a/), the central current density j/sub o/ = (V/sub L//2.pi.bRZ/sub eff/) T/sub eo/32 = (I/sub p//.pi.a2) F3(q/sub a/), where the function F3 = (q/sub a//q/sub o/) is uniquely fixed by F1. Here b approx. 6.53 x 103 ln.lambda., and I/sub p/, V/sub L/, Z/sub eff/, R, a, and q/sub o/ are the plasma current, loop voltage, effective ion charge, major and minor radius, and the central safety factor, respectively. Thus for a fixed j(r) or T/sub e/(r), the set of functions F1, F2, and F3 is uniquely fixed.

Further, the principle of profile consistency dictates that this set of functions F1, F2, and F3 remain the same for all sawtoothing discharges in any tokamak regardless of its size, I/sub p/, V/sub L/, B/sub T/, etc. Here, we present a rather complete and detailed theoretical examination of this self-consistency of the measured values of T/sub e/(r), F1, F2, and F3 for sawtoothing TFTR discharges. 55 refs., 15 figs., 1 tab.

Scarface Rapidshare Free. Author by: J.E. Roeckelein Language: en Publisher by: Elsevier Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 88 Total Download: 971 File Size: 48,6 Mb Description: In attempting to understand and explain various behaviour, events, and phenomena in their field, psychologists have developed and enunciated an enormous number of ‘best guesses’ or theories concerning the phenomenon in question. Such theories involve speculations and statements that range on a potency continuum from ‘strong’ to ‘weak’. The term theory, itself, has been conceived of in various ways in the psychological literature.

In the present dictionary, the strategy of lumping together all the various traditional descriptive labels regarding psychologists ‘best guesses’ under the single descriptive term theory has been adopted. The descriptive labels of principle, law, theory, model, paradigm, effect, hypothesis and doctrine are attached to many of the entries, and all such descriptive labels are subsumed under the umbrella term theory.

The title of this dictionary emphasizes the term theory (implying both strong and weak best guesses) and is a way of indication, overall, the contents of this comprehensive dictionary in a parsimonious and felicitous fashion. The dictionary will contain approximately 2,000 terms covering the origination, development, and evolution of various psychological concepts, as well as the historical definition, analysis, and criticisms of psychological concepts. Terms and definitions are in English. *Contains over 2,000 terms covering the origination, development and evolution of various psychological concepts *Covers a wide span of theories, from auditory, cognitive tactile and visual to humor and imagery *An essential resource for psychologists needing a single-source quick reference.
