Collisionless Isotropization of the Solar-Wind Protons by Compressive Fluctuations and Plasma Instabilities [PDF]
Compressive fluctuations are a minor yet significant component of astrophysical plasma turbulence. In the solar wind, long-wavelength compressive slow-mode fluctuations lead to changes in $\beta_{\parallel \mathrm p}\equiv 8\pi n_{\mathrm p}k_{\mathrm B ...

Instabilities Driven by the Drift and Temperature Anisotropy of Alpha Particles in the Solar Wind [PDF]
We investigate the conditions under which parallel-propagating Alfv\'en/ion-cyclotron (A/IC) waves and fast-magnetosonic/whistler (FM/W) waves are driven unstable by the differential flow and temperature anisotropy of alpha particles in the solar wind ...

Insect Pest Incidence on Cowpea in the Cameroonian Southwest Forest and Western Derived Savanna Zones, their Contribution to Yield Loss in Foumbot and their Control [PDF]
In 1986 and 1987, insect pests sampled on cowpea in the Cameroonian Southwest forest and Western derived savanna ecological 1 zones included Maruca vitrata, Leguminivora (Cydia) ptychora, Helicoverpa (Heliothis) armigera, Melanagromyza vignalis, Apion ...

PIC Simulations of the Effect of Velocity Space Instabilities on Electron Viscosity and Thermal Conduction [PDF]
In low-collisionality plasmas, velocity-space instabilities are a key mechanism providing an effective collisionality for the plasma. We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to study the interplay between electron and ion-scale velocity-space ...

Comparison of seed yielding performance of deltamethrin unprotected and protected plants of five cowpea cultivars at Foumbot, Cameroon [PDF]
Losses in seed yields due to damage by seed insect pests were studied on unsprayed and sprayed cowpea plants at Foumbot, located in the western highland savanna zone of Cameroon, in 1988 and 1989. Major pests recorded in the study site were Melanagromyza
