Theory of the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Transport Bifurcations
The development and time evolution of a transport barrier in a magnetically
confined plasma with non-monotonic, nonlinear dependence of the anomalous flux
on mean gradients is analyzed. Upon consideration of both the spatial
inhomogeneity and the gradient nonlinearity of the transport coefficient, we
find that the transition develops as a bifurcation front with radially
propagating discontinuity in local gradient. The spatial location of the
transport barrier as a function of input flux is calculated. The analysis
indicates that for powers slightly above threshold, the barrier location
where is the local transition
power threshold and is the neoclassical diffusivity . This result
suggests a simple explanation of the high disruptivity observed in reversed
shear plasmas. The basic conclusions of this theory are insensitive to the
details of the local transport model.Comment: 21 page Tex file, 10 postscript file

Families Facing the Demands of Military Life: New Research Directions
Military families, whether Active-duty, Reserve, or National Guard, face a multitude of demands in times of both peace and war, and these demands will shift throughout a Servicemember’s career. Our research at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), as well as research done at other institutions, has shown that the demands experienced by military families have both negative and positive effects in terms of health, marital satisfaction, and satisfaction with the Army. Appraisal of these demands and the ability to obtain the necessary resources to deal with them are important determinants of a variety of well-being–, family-, and Army-related outcomes. This chapter will focus on the findings of family studies conducted by researchers at WRAIR and examine the road ahead with studying military families based on the outcomes discussed
