Electric and magnetic fields of 50 Hz are not associated with sudden infant death syndrome
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a multifactorial condition. Power frequency magnetic fields have been implicated in SIDS. Through the use of a case-control study measuring 50 Hz electric and magnetic fields at the SIDS baby's last head position, no association could be found between SIDS and either electric (p = 0.327) or magnetic (p = 0.827) 50 Hz fields.
In support of the TCV experimental campaign aiming at studying H-mode plasmas with snowﬂake (SF) divertor, free boundary equilibrium and stability studies were performed with the SPIDER and KINX codes. Due to the high ﬂexibility of plasma shaping capabilities of TCV, SF divertor conditions can be reached for various plasma geometries. However, at high plasma current some conﬁgurations require poloidal ﬁeld (PF) coil currents close to the machine limit. This is particularly important when the equilibrium sensitivity to the edge pedestal proﬁles, which is higher than for standard X-point conﬁgurations, is taken into account. That is why the conﬁguration optimization should also include the proﬁle sensitivity study when planning the shot scenario.
