Greek community needs assessment: Reducing the negative impact of alcohol and drugs

Participants representing Clemson\u27s Greek community have designed a research project that aims to define the problems associated with alcohol and drug misuse in the Greek community at Clemson University and to implement action steps based on sound evidence to mitigate the negative consequences associated with that misuse. The team is made up of Greek student leaders who are passionate about making a difference in their community and ultimately creating a plan to reduce alcohol and drug abuse among members. The team has conducted IRB and National PanHellenic approved focus groups and is in the process of coding the data. This poster reflects a preliminary analysis of that data

The Computation of the Magnetic Field of any Axisymmetric Current Distribution—with Magnetospheric Applications

It is shown that the vector potential A of the magnetic field of any axisymmetric electric current distribution can be expressed in the form ∑ A n (r) P 1 n (cos θ). This series is used to compute the field of two model magnetospheric ring currents; the field of one of these was previously determined by double integrations by Akasofu, Cain & Chapman. The calculation of the functions A n (r) does not require double integrations. The two sets of results are in good agreement. The first term in the series for A gives the external magnetic moment of the ring current. The magnetic field energy is calculated for the field as a whole and for each term in the series for A. The field isointensity lines are drawn, and also the field lines for the ring current and for its field combined with that of the geomagnetic dipole. They illustrate the considerable distortion of the field in the magnetosphere during magnetic storms. The series for A may also be helpful in calculating the paths of cosmic rays in the deformed magnetosphere. The numerical convergence of the results is improved by the use of CesÀro summation.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/72484/1/j.1365-246X.1966.tb03088.x.pd
