Analytical calculation of the longitudinal space charge and resistive wall impedances in a smooth cylindrical pipe.

The longitudinal space charge and resistive wall impedances have been investigated in a smooth cylindrical beam pipe. At any point from the beam axis, we obtained an expression for the total impedance, which at the beam surface r=a for infinite pipe wall conductivity gives the expression for the total impedance that was derived by Zotter and Kheifets in studying the impedance of uniform beams in concentric cylindrical wall chambers, when a single cylindrical chamber is considered [B. W. Zotter and S. A. Kheifets, Impedances and Wakes in High-Energy Particle Accelerators (World Scientific, Singapore, 1998), Chap. 6]. A fitting formula for the space-charge impedance at the beam surface (r=a), which is valid for arbitrary wavelengths, is given. Rather than calculating the impedance with the field on the axis [Joseph J. Bisognano, Fifth European Particle Accelerator Conference (EPAC96), edited by S. Myers, A. Pacheco, R. Pascual, Ch. Petit-Jean-Genaz, and J. Poole (Institute of Physics, Bristol, 1996), Vol. 1, p. 328], the fitting formula is obtained by averaging over the transverse beam distribution. We also give another approach for the calculation of the resistive wall impedance using the flux of the Poynting vector at the pipe wall and then compare it with the expression obtained from the volume integral over the beam distribution.

Clinical protocol development using Inter/IntraNet technology: the FENARETE system.

In this work we present FENARETE, a software tool to design and distribute clinical protocols in an Inter/IntraNet framework. We consider a medical protocol as a clinical behaviour scheme, formally and clearly defined with sufficient details. Our work allows the knowledge content of any clinical protocol to be fully represented in a symbolic style. A computer based support tool that works as an interface between clinicians and the protocol knowledge base is regarded by the authors as a basic building block developing an integrated environment for medical protocols design and management. The FENARETE application has been developed in Java and it is available for any Internet-linked machine with a Java-compatible browser.
