[en] Separable solutions of finite plasma pressure equilibrium in a point multipole are found. Using the energy principle it is demonstrated that these solutions are interchange stable for quadripole and sextipole configurations. The low and high pressure forms of the solution in sextipole configuration are explicitly displayed

[en] The stability of the flute modes have been studied in a bumpy less cylinder model with finite bulk plasma pressure, artificial gravity and an ambipolar field. It is quantitatively shown that increases in the hot electron ring pressure, the rf field, and an ambipolar field stabilize the flute mode while an increase of bulk plasma beta destabilizes the mode. The stable beta region is also given as a function of betasub(h) for all modes. (Author)

[en] A numerical simulation illustrates the 'virial' kinetic definition of the pressure of the classical one-component plasma introduced in a recent note. In spherical geometry it is found that this pressure, divided by kT, is equal to the density of particles on the wall, and a complete explanation of the discrepancy with the generally accepted thermodynamical definition is given

[en] Fullerenol dissolved in water was irradiated with a non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma. Plasma irradiation altered the fullerenol solution by introducing carbonyl groups, ether bonds, and intercalated nitrate anions. The resulting plasma-irradiated fullerenol (PF) was added in cell culture medium. PF-supplemented medium exhibited a cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells. Notably, HeLa cells cultured in the PF-added cell culture medium generated intracellular reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, such that the endocytosis of PF induced the apoptotic cell death. The cytotoxic effect inducing apoptosis was found in the PF-supplemented medium. (paper)

[en] An axisymmetric tokamak equilibrium has been found for which the 1/n correction term to ballooning theory is as large as the (1/n)⁰ term. It is concluded that improvements to the theory are needed to assess stability of such an equilibrium. (author)
