Pulsed plasmoid electric propulsion

A method of electric propulsion is explored where plasmoids such as spheromaks and field reversed configurations (FRC) are formed and then allowed to expand down a diverging conducting shell. The plasmoids contain a toroidal electric current that provides both heating and a confining magnetic field. They are free to translate because there are no externally supplied magnetic fields that would restrict motion. Image currents in the diverging conducting shell keep the plasmoids from contacting the wall. Because these currents translate relative to the wall, losses due to magnetic flux diffusion into the wall are minimized. During the expansion of the plasma in the diverging cone, both the inductive and thermal plasma energy are converted to directed kinetic energy producing thrust. Specific impulses can be in the 4000 to 20000 sec range with thrusts from 0.1 to 1000 Newtons, depending on available power

Narrowing From Below: How Lower Courts Can Limit Castro-Huerta

This Note will offer a plan for how Indian country can move forward in the wake of what anti-tribal sovereignty entities want to be a devasting decision. This Note advocates for a judicial remedy plan. Specifically, it calls upon lower courts to narrow Castro-Huerta from below to limit the effects of the decision. Part II provides a brief introduction to federal Indian law, a general overview of criminal jurisdiction in Indian country, and concludes with a summary of Castro-Huerta. Part III outlines two approaches to limiting that lower courts can use to narrow Castro-Huerta from below: textual limiting and fact-to-fact limiting. It also provides illustrative examples of recent steps taken by lower courts to limit the decision using the very methods this Note argues for. Part IV briefly concludes this Note and urges lower courts to narrow Castro-Huerta from below

Is There Room for a Student of Rhetoric in a Giant NSF Grant Project?

Responding to recent movements exploring praxis possibilities for rhetoric of science scholars, my presentation shows one potential way for a student of rhetoric to be situated in a large science grant project and laboratory. This essay explores the promising benefits for rhetoric of science scholarship and grant project administration
