Non-thermal particle acceleration and power-law tails via relaxation to universal Lynden-Bell equilibria

RJ Ewart, ML Nastac, AA Schekochihin - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Collisionless and weakly collisional plasmas often exhibit non-thermal quasi-equilibria.
Among these quasi-equilibria, distributions with power-law tails are ubiquitous. It is shown that …

Collisionless relaxation of a Lynden-Bell plasma

RJ Ewart, A Brown, T Adkins… - Journal of Plasma …, 2022 - cambridge.org
Plasmas whose Coulomb-collision rates are very small may relax on shorter timescales to
non-Maxwellian quasi-equilibria, which, nevertheless, have a universal form, with …

Undisclosed changes in outcomes in randomized controlled trials: an observational study

R Ewart, H Lausen, N Millian - The Annals of Family Medicine, 2009 - Annals Family Med
PURPOSE We wanted to investigate the frequency of undisclosed changes in the outcomes
of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) between trial registration and publication. METHODS …

Phase-space entropy cascade and irreversibility of stochastic heating in nearly collisionless plasma turbulence

ML Nastac, RJ Ewart, W Sengupta… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider a nearly collisionless plasma consisting of a species of `test particles' in 1D-1V,
stirred by an externally imposed stochastic electric field. The mean effect on the particle …

Primum non nocere and the quality of evidence: rethinking the ethics of screening

RM Ewart - The Journal of the American Board of Family …, 2000 - Am Board Family Med
Background: Screening is different from investigation, and these differences have important
implications in the assessment of screening programs. Methods: I review the differences …

Sheath collapse at critical shallow angle due to kinetic effects

RJ Ewart, FI Parra, A Geraldini - Plasma Physics and Controlled …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The Debye sheath is known to vanish completely in magnetised plasmas for a sufficiently
small electron gyroradius and small angle between the magnetic field and the wall. This angle …

Ring momentum distributions as a general feature of Vlasov dynamics in the synchrotron dominated regime

P Bilbao, RJ Ewart, F Assunçao, T Silva… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study how radiation reaction leads plasmas initially in kinetic equilibrium to develop
features in momentum space, such as anisotropies and population inversion, resulting in a ring-…

Pregnancy in chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia: a case report

RM Ewart, RF Burrows - American journal of perinatology, 1997 - thieme-connect.com
The mitochondrial diseases are uncommon multisystem disorders characterized by the
presence of functionally and/or structurally abnormal mitochondria. As there have been few …

Cosmic-ray confinement in radio bubbles by micromirrors

RJ Ewart, P Reichherzer, AFA Bott, MW Kunz… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Radio bubbles, ubiquitous features of the intracluster medium around active galactic nuclei,
are known to rise buoyantly for multiple scale heights through the intracluster medium (ICM). …

The influence of parental age on offspring

RJ Ewart - The Eugenics Review, 1911 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
THERE are two methods by which the ideals of the Eugenist may be attained, each of which
has a sphere of usefulness inour efforts for the common weal. The firsthas for its object the …
