Awe T, McBride R, Jennings C, Lamppa D, Martin M, Rovang D, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2014 Jan; 111(23):235005. PMID: 24476283
Novel experimental data are reported that reveal helical instability formation on imploding z-pinch liners that are premagnetized with an axial field. Such instabilities differ dramatically from the mostly azimuthally symmetric...

Krishnan M, Elliott K, Madden R, Coleman P, Thompson J, Bixler A, et al.
Rev Sci Instrum . 2013 Jul; 84(6):063504. PMID: 23822342
Tests are ongoing to conduct ~20 MA z-pinch implosions on the Z accelerator at Sandia National Laboratory using Ar, Kr, and D2 gas puffs as the imploding loads. The relatively...

Jones B, Deeney C, McKenney J, Ampleford D, Coverdale C, Lepell P, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2008 Mar; 100(10):105003. PMID: 18352197
Axially localized NaF dopants are coated onto Al cylindrical wire arrays in order to act as spectroscopic tracers in the stagnated z-pinch plasma. Non-local-thermodynamic-equilibrium kinetic models fit to Na K-shell...

Jones B, Deeney C, McKenney J, Garasi C, Mehlhorn T, Robinson A, et al.
Phys Rev Lett . 2005 Dec; 95(22):225001. PMID: 16384228
Three-dimensional perturbations have been seeded in wire-array z pinches by etching 15 microm diameter aluminum wires to introduce 20% modulations in radius with a controlled axial wavelength. These perturbations seed...

Stygar W, Cuneo M, Vesey R, Ives H, Mazarakis M, Chandler G, et al.
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2005 Oct; 72(2 Pt 2):026404. PMID: 16196715
We have developed wire-array z -pinch scaling relations for plasma-physics and inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) experiments. The relations can be applied to the design of z -pinch accelerators for high-fusion-yield (approximately 0.4...

Stygar W, Ives H, Fehl D, Cuneo M, Mazarakis M, Bailey J, et al.
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2004 Jun; 69(4 Pt 2):046403. PMID: 15169102
We have measured the x-ray power and energy radiated by a tungsten-wire-array z pinch as a function of the peak pinch current and the width of the anode-cathode gap at...

J Clin Epidemiol . 2000 Apr; 53(4):419-26. PMID: 10785573
This report describes the performance of a surveillance system and computerized algorithm for the assignment of definite or probable hospitalized cardiac events for large epidemiologic studies. The algorithm, developed by...

McKenney J, Lapane K, Assaf A, Carleton R
Epidemiology . 1995 Nov; 6(6):612-6. PMID: 8589093
We examined the association between self-rated risk of stroke or myocardial infarction and actual morbidity and mortality by gender among participants of the Pawtucket Heart Health Program Health Survey in...

McPhillips J, Eaton C, Gans K, Derby C, Lasater T, McKenney J, et al.
J Am Diet Assoc . 1994 Mar; 94(3):287-92. PMID: 8120293
Objective: Previous studies based on 24-hour dietary recall data have shown that smokers tend to consume less healthful diets than nonsmokers. We tested this hypothesis using data from food frequency...

Assaf A, Lapane K, McKenney J, Carleton R
N Engl J Med . 1993 Sep; 329(13):931-5. PMID: 8361508
Background: The prospective payment system, under which diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) are used to reimburse hospitals for the care of Medicare patients, replaced the fee-for-service method of payment in Rhode Island...
