Abstract:
Interactions between MHD-scale tearing modes (TMs) and ion-gyroradius-scale trapped-electron modes (TEMs) in a fusion plasma are simulated with global gyrokinetics, using a consistent set of fixed equilibrium profiles. Unstable core TMs nonlinearly couple and transfer energy to smaller-scale stable TMs near the edge, where TEMs are present. Magnetic stochasticity from these edge TMs erodes TEM-generated zonal flows near the edge rational surfaces, leading to strongly increased electrostatic flux. This interaction of macro- and microscale modes suggests it may be possible to control microturbulence through current-profile modifications.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
Ventilatory Modes
There are three ventilatory modes: full support, partial support, and spontaneous. These are described below.
Full Support Modes
Full support modes include controlled mechanical ventilation, continuous mandatory...
MOSFET: Enhancement Mode
In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no...
Modes of Standing Waves: II
For a tube open at one end and closed at the other filled with air, the modes are such that there is always an antinode at the open end and a node at the closed end....

Modes of Operations of BJT
Active Mode: The most common mode for amplification, the active mode features a forward-biased emitter-base junction and a reverse-biased base-collector junction. This setup enables electrons to be injected from the emitter to the base while blocking the majority carriers at the collector. The...
