Breast Reconstruction Using an Innovative Flap Procedure
Authors: HARDEN J. TAYLOR , GIRARD NANCY
Published: May 2007

Most patients consider breast reconstruction an essential part of total breast cancer management. In the wake of the silicone‐gel implant controversy, more women are considering breast reconstruction using their own tissue. Since 1982, the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap has bcome a well‐established and popular method of reconstruction. For many women, TRAM flap reconstruction is the surgery of choice following mastectomy. It offers victims of breast cancer the potential for soft, natural‐appearing breast mounds without the risks associated with other types of flaps or manufactured implants. A description of autogenous tissue grafting using the TRAM flap for breast reconstruction is provided with associated perioperative nursing care guidelines and potential complications. AORN J 60 (August 1994) 184–192.
Comparative Evaluation of Five Surgical Hand Scrub Preparations: New data on the efficacy of hand scrub preparations
Authors: Paulson Daryl S.
Published: May 2007

Surgical hand scrubs should remove microorganisms from health care professionals' hands and forearms and maintain the lowest possible microbial counts during surgical procedures. This study evaluated the immediate, persistent, and residual efficacy of five surgical hand scrub products. The two chlorhexidine gluconate CHG) products achieved significant immediate reduction in the microorganism count and demonstrated persistent and residual efficacy. The iodophor product exhibited effective immediate and persistent antimicrobial properties but failed to show significant residual effects. The parachlorometaxylenol products demonstrated low levels of immediate and persistent effects and no residual antimicrobial effects. The alcohol product demonstrated low immediate, persistent, and residual effects. The investigator concludes that CHG products are the most favorable surgical hand scrub preparations.

A new method of sternal approximation
Authors: Timmes Joseph J , Wolvek Sidney , Fernando Marco , Bas Maurice , Rocko Joyce
Published: May 2007

After sternotomy for a cardiac operation in adults, closure of the sternum is accomplished with five or six wire sutures with twisting of the wire ends. This method may not achieve rigid fixation of the sternum, and the bulky twisted wires may cause skin pain or actual perforation. We have developed a new method of approximating the split sides of the sternum using a new instrument, the Wolvek approximator. With this method rigid fixation is obtained and the ends of the wires are fixed by a small crimped metal plate. This method has been used clinically with success.

Traumatic Atlantooccipital Dislocation Injury in Children
Authors: Nichols John , West Janet S.
Published: May 2007

The tragedy of trauma turns into triumph when the surgery team members' efforts result in victory for the patient. Nowhere is this more true than in successful pediatric trauma care. Giving a child a second chance at life and the family an opportunity for a new beginning is the highest reward for the trauma team's years of professional training and practice. Traumatic atlantoocipital dislocation injury usually results in death, but recent neurosurgery trauma advances are increasing pediatric survival rates. AORN J 60 (Oct 1994) 544–558.
The OR Suite as a Unique Trauma Resuscitation Bay
Authors: Brennan Regina , Cohen Sharon S. , Chambers Jodi A. , Andrews Cathy
Published: May 2007

Trauma is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, and trauma injuries affect more than 50 million Americans annually. Inadequate care of trauma patients can cause unnecessary patient deaths. To decrease death and disability caused by trauma, one Denver hospital developed a trauma OR based on the “Golden Hour” principle (ie, the sooner a patient receives treatment, the more likely the patient will survive). Since 1977, this hospital has performed 1,838 trauma resuscitations in the trauma OR suite. This article discusses the importance of triage and recants the history of trauma patient transportation. The authors detail the trauma procedures at their hospital, including the specific roles of trauma team members and the necessary equipment, and provide demographic information on the trauma resuscitations performed at the hospital since 1988. The article also discusses the extensive and continuous orientation necessary for trauma team members and explains the quality improvement strategies implemented by this hospital. AORN J (Oct 1994) 576–584.
Clinical Forensics for Perioperative Nurses
Authors: Muro Grace A. , Easter Catherine R.
Published: May 2007

Perioperative nurses frequently care for the victims and suspected perpetrators of violent crimes. Nurses often are the first health care providers to assess the trauma patient and collect crucial evidence for future legal action. Informational evidence includes observations about patients' behavior and appearance and documentation of their comments. Nurses also must protect the chain of evidence so that evidence can be admissible in court. To function in this role, perioperative nurses must understand the concepts of clinical forensics, which is the application of the principles and practices of forensic science to questions of law in the investigation of violent crime. AORN J 60 (Oct 1994) 585–593.
Implementation of an Event‐Related Sterility Plan
Authors: Schroeter Kathryn
Published: May 2007

A paradigm shift from a time‐related sterility method to an event‐related sterility assurance plan is possible if the nurse manager's approach to OR staff members is well researched and properly presented. Following research protocols and providing a methodology and rationale to staff members will enhance the success of the implementation process. A successful paradigm shift to an eventrelated sterility system has the potential of increasing knowledge, improving practice, empowering staff members, and saving money, time, and effort.

Strabismus Repair in the Pediatric Patient
Authors: Huddleston Kathryn R.
Published: May 2007

Strabismus, one of the most common eye problems in children, is the inability to focus one or both eyes on an object. Strabismus results from poor extraocular muscle coordination. Patients with strabismus undergo surgery to reduce ocular deviation, restore normal vision, cosmetically straighten the eyes, and develop sensory fusion that will maintain motor alignment. Because strabismus is muscular problem, patients with strabismus are at increased risk for malignant hyperthermia (MH). This risk is an important perioperative consideration. The perioperative nurse must be familiar with the MH protocol and be prepared to treat a child in this emergent situation. AORN J 60 (NOV 1994) 754–760.
Right Gastroepiploic Artery Conduit Use in Myocardial Revascularization
Authors: Gallegos‐Alvarez Maria , O'Brien Mary
Published: May 2007

The majority of surgeons use the saphenous vein or internal mammary artery as conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Improved long‐term patient survival rates after CABG have increased the need for alternative conduits in reoperations for myocardial revascularization. In the past 20 years, surgeons have begun using the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) as an alternative conduit in CABG. Perioperative nursing care of patients undergoing right GEA graRing for myocardial revascularization includes documentation of patient problems and nursing actions taken; preoperative patient assessment and teaching; intraoperative management of patient positioning, temperature, and skin integrity; and postoperative care to maintain the patient's hernodynamic stability and avoid complications.

Toward a Standardized Language to Describe Perioperative Nursing
Authors: Steelman Victoria M. , Bulechek Gloria M. , McCloskey Joanne Comi
Published: May 2007

The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is a standardized language that identifies all interventions performed by nurses. Each nursing intervention has a label name, a conceptual definition, and set of defining activities. The NIC provides a standardized nomenclature for automated databases, describes and measures nursing ‘contribution to health care, facilitates nursing education, supports clinical decision making, plans resource allocation, and facilitates nursing research. Perioperative nurses can use the NIC to describe and document their contributions to surgical patients’ outcomes. AORN J 60 (NOV 1994) 786–795.
Bacterial Carriage on the Fingernails of OR Nurses
Authors: Wynd Christine A. , Samstag Dons E. , Lapp Anna Mane
Published: May 2007

This study provides statistically significant data that demonstrate that chipped fingernail polish or fingernail polish worn longer than four days fosters increased numbers of bacteria on the fingernails of OR nurses after surgical hand scrubs. There were no significant correlations between fingernail length and the numbers of bacterial colonies on the fingernails of the study groups tested after performing a standard surgical hand scrub. A convenience sample 102 perioperative nurses with either freshly polished fingernails; chipped fingernail polish; or natural, polish‐free fingernails participated. The data suggest OR nurses can wear fresh fingernail polish on healthy fingernails without risking increased bacterial counts. AORN J 60 (NOV 1994) 796–805.
Perioperative Nurses' Roles in Managing New Technology
Authors: Mdonnell Edwina A.
Published: May 2007

The scientific knowledge base for medical technology doubles every two years. Whether new technologies will improve health care depends on how appropriately they are used; therefore, purchasing appropriate technology is crucial. Appropriate technologies include those that are valid, adaptable, acceptable, and affordable. Perioperative nurses can facilitate acquisition and use of appropriate technology in the OR by applying the process of technology assessment‐a five‐step process that examines the need, safety, effectiveness and efficacy, economappraisal, and social impact of new technology. This article details the technology assessment process and provides methods of preparing perioperative staff members to use new technology. AORN J 60 (Nov 1994) 81 5–827.

A CLASS OF STRONGLY SINGULAR RADON TRANSFORMS ON THE HEISENBERG GROUP
Authors: Lyall Neil
Published: May 2007

We primarily consider here the $L^2$ mapping properties of a class of strongly singular Radon transforms on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$; these are convolution operators on $\mathbb{H}^n$ with kernels of the form $M(z,t)=K(z)\delta_0(t)$, where $K$ is a strongly singular kernel on $\mathbb{C}^n$. Our results are obtained by using the group Fourier transform and uniform asymptotic forms for Laguerre functions due to Erdélyi.

We also discuss the behaviour of related twisted strongly singular operators on $L^2(\mathbb{C}^n)$ and obtain results in this context independently of group Fourier transform methods. Key to this argument is a generalization of the results for classical strongly singular integrals on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$.
The association between C-reactive protein concentration and depression in later life is due to poor physical health: results from the Health in Men Study (HIMS)
Authors: ALMEIDA OSVALDO P. , NORMAN PAUL , HANKEY GRAEME J. , JAMROZIK KONRAD , FLICKER LEON
Published: May 2007

Background

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific marker of inflammation that has been associated with depression and vascular disease, particularly in men. This study aimed to investigate the association between high CRP concentration and depression while taking physical health into account.

Method

A cross-sectional study of a community-dwelling sample of 5438 men aged 70+. Participants with scores ⩾7 on the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) were considered to display clinically significant depressive symptoms. We measured the serum concentration of CRP with a high-sensitivity assay. The assessment of physical co-morbidity included three components: the Charlson weighted index, self-report of major health events on a standardized questionnaire, and the physical component of the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Other measured factors included age, native language, education, a standardized socio-economic index, smoking, prior or current history of depression treatment, cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score <24) and body mass index (BMI).

Results

Participants with depression (n=340) were older than their controls without depression (age in years: 76·6±4·4v. 75·4±4·1). Men with CRP concentration >3 mg/l had an increased odds ratio (OR) [1·59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·20–2·11] of being depressed compared to men with CRP ⩽3 mg/l. This association became non-significant once we adjusted the analysis for the measures of physical co-morbidity and other confounding factors (OR 1·22, 95% CI 0·86–1·73).

Conclusions

The physiological mechanisms that lead to the onset and maintenance of depressive symptoms in older men remain to be determined, but CRP concentration is unlikely to play a significant role in that process.

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest‐resolution digital elevation model of the Earth. The project was a joint endeavor of NASA, the National Geospatial‐Intelligence Agency, and the German and Italian Space Agencies and flew in February 2000. It used dual radar antennas to acquire interferometric radar data, processed to digital topographic data at 1 arc sec resolution. Details of the development, flight operations, data processing, and products are provided for users of this revolutionary data set.
Simulation and observation of global ocean mass anomalies
Authors: Dobslaw Henryk , Thomas Maik
Published: May 2007

Recently reprocessed GRACE gravity fields are found to provide reliable ocean mass anomalies down to 500 km regional averages when comparing them to mass observations obtained from sterically corrected Jason 1 altimetry and simulated mass anomalies derived from the Ocean Model for Circulation and Tides (OMCT). Beside the assessment of systematic shortcomings of GRACE, Jason 1 and OMCT estimates, robust signals of mass anomalies in the North Pacific and in various regions of the Southern Ocean are identified in all three independent data sets. Correlations of up to 0.8 and rms values of differences of around 2 hPa indicate that uncertainties are well below the expected monthly mean mass signals of up to 6 hPa rms in these regions. By means of output of the numerical ocean model, mass anomalies are related to changes in barotropic ocean currents, providing in turn the opportunity to infer barotropic current anomalies from GRACE observations, and therefore principally allowing to monitor climate relevant changes of ocean currents from satellite observations.

Nanoparticle events were observed 48 times in particle size distributions at Appledore Island during the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation/Chemistry of Halogens on the Isles of Shoals (ICARTT/CHAiOS) field campaign from 2 July to 12 August of 2004. Eighteen of the nanoparticle events showed particle growth and occurred during mornings when peaks in mixing ratios of α‐ and β‐pinene and ozone made production of condensable products from photochemical oxidation probable. Many pollutants and other potential precursors for aerosol formation were also at elevated mixing ratios during these events, including NO, HNO3, NH3, HCl, propane, and several other volatile organic carbon compounds. There were no consistent changes in particle composition, although both submicron and supermicron particles included high maximum concentrations of methane sulfonate, sulfate, iodide, nitrate, and ammonium during these events. Nanoparticle growth continued over several hours with a nearly linear rate of increase of diameter with time. The observed nanoparticle growth rates varied from 3 to 13 nm h−1. Apparent nanoparticle aerosol mass fractions (yields) were estimated to range from less than 0.0005 to almost 1 using α‐ and β‐pinene as the presumed particle source. These apparent high aerosol mass fractions (yields) at low changes in aerosol mass are up to two orders of magnitude greater than predictions from extrapolated laboratory parameterizations and may provide a more accurate assessment of secondary organic aerosol formation for estimating the growth of nanoparticles in global models.
Coupling of water vapor convergence, clouds, precipitation, and land‐surface processes
Authors: Betts Alan K.
Published: May 2007

On daily timescales, the climate over land is a complex balance of many coupled processes. ERA40 reanalysis data for subbasins of the Mississippi in summer are used to explore the links between these processes in a fully coupled model system, and observed surface precipitation and surface short‐wave fluxes derived by the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project are used for evaluation. This paper proposes that the effective cloud albedo viewed from the surface is a useful link which connects the cloud fields to both surface and large‐scale processes. The reanalysis has a low bias in cloud albedo in all seasons except summer. In the coupled system in the warm season, on daily timescales, the lifting condensation level falls as soil moisture and precipitation increase. The ratio of the cloud short‐wave radiative forcing at the surface to the diabatic precipitation heating of the atmosphere is less in the reanalysis than in the observations. The surface energy budget is split into the surface net radiation and the evaporative fraction. The surface cloud radiative forcing largely determines the surface net radiation, while evaporative fraction, with fixed vegetation, is largely determined by temperature and near‐surface soil moisture.

The Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) on the boundary of a flow channel in the Earth's plasma sheet is investigated using Cluster and Double Star TC1 data. It is shown that when Cluster moves into the flow channel the magnetometer measures strong oscillations of the magnetic field, that increase as the spacecraft move further into the flow channel. These waves are identified as Kelvin Helmholtz waves. DoubleStar TC1, closer to the Earth, also observes these waves when entering the flow channel but at larger amplitude and with only little flow. The increase in wave amplitude agrees with the KHI wave growth. It is argued that the development of the KHI can play a major rôle in flow braking in the magnetotail, which is an important aspect of magnetotail dynamics. The large amount of kinetic energy released by a reconnection event or bursty bulk flow gets converted to other kinds of energy such that in the near Earth region the flow is stopped.
Mobility and topographic effects for large Valles Marineris landslides on Mars
Authors: Lucas A. , Mangeney A.
Published: May 2007

Recent experiments on dry granular flows over horizontal plane bare some similarities with large Martian landslides observed in Valles Marineris (VM). However, Martian normalized runout are twice as large as those that observed in dry granular flow experiments. Numerical simulations on theoretical 2D and real 3D topographies reconstructed from remote sensing data show that slope effects significantly reduce the shift between experimental results and Martian observation. However, topography effects are not strong enough to explain the high mobility of Martian landslides. As a result, other physical and/or geological processes should play a key role into the dynamics of Martian landslides. A new mobility is defined that makes it possible to characterize the dynamics of the flow regardless of the geometry of the released mass and of the underlying topography.
Who eats what, where and when? Isotope-labelling experiments are coming of age
Authors: Neufeld Josh D , Wagner Michael , Murrell J Colin
Published: May 2007

Isotope-labelling experiments have changed the way microbial ecologists investigate the ecophysiology of microbial populations and cells in the environment. Insight into the ‘uncultivated majority’ accompanies methodology that involves the incorporation of stable isotopes or radioisotopes into sub-populations of environmental samples. Subsequent analysis of labelled biomarkers of sub-populations with stable-isotope probing (DNA-SIP, RNA-SIP, phospholipid-derived fatty acid-SIP) or individual cells with a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization and microautoradiography reveals linked phylogenetic and functional information about the organisms that assimilated these compounds. Here, we review some of the most recent literature, with an emphasis on methodological improvements to the sensitivity and utility of these methods. We also highlight related isotope techniques that are in continued development and hold promise to transform the way we link phylogeny and function in complex microbial communities.

CTGF (connective‐tissue growth factor) has been characterized as an extracellular‐matrix‐associated protein that modulates basic‐fibroblast‐growth‐factor signalling and angiogenesis. In the present paper, the cloning of the ctgf gene from human umbilical‐vein endothelial cells and expression of the protein in Escherichia coli as an N‐terminal hexahistidine fusion protein is described. Recombinant human CTGF (rhCTGF) was expressed and purified so that we could investigate its effect on the proliferation of human embryo fibroblast KMB‐17 and NIH3T3 cells. The results indicated not only that the protein was properly folded, but also that it had the same specific activity and stability as the native protein. Furthermore, we administered this recombinant protein in a non‐human primate [rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)] burn‐wound model and report the clinical findings and structural effects. Epitheliotrophic effects were conspicuous in wounded tissues at 10–100 ng of CTGF/cm2, suggesting that administered rhCTGF can play a normal physiological role in wound repairing in a non‐human primate model.

SFM (serum‐free medium) is preferred to media containing animal‐derived components when culturing mammalian cells for the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins and mAbs (monoclonal antibodies). Nonetheless, eliminating animal‐derived components from media can strongly modify culture performance and alter protein glycosylation. In the present study, mAb glycosylation profiles, extracellular exoglycosidase activities, hybridoma growth and mAb production in traditional medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS (fetal bovine serum) [DMEM (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium)/FBS] were compared with those obtained in either SFM or CDM (chemically defined medium). SFM and CDM supported higher cell and mAb concentrations than did DMEM/FBS; however, CE (capillary electrophoresis) analyses revealed important changes in mAb glycosylation patterns. Glycosylation patterns showed a broad microheterogeneity in all the media, ranging from complex to high‐mannose and paucimannosidic glycans. mAb produced in DMEM/FBS presented 26 glycan structures, whereas a lower glycan microheterogeneity was found for cultures in CDM or SFM, which presented 24 and 22 structures respectively. In DMEM/FBS and CDM, complex glycans without terminal galactose (G0) represented 28 and 32% of the total glycans respectively and 42 and 46% corresponded to galactosylated structures (G1 plus G2) respectively. In contrast, G0 glycans in SFM accounted for 58%, whereas only 28% corresponded to G1 and G2 structures. Extracellular β‐galactosidase activity increased approx. 3‐fold in SFM, which can explain the higher G0 content compared with cultures in the other two media. A desirable decrease in sialylated structures, but an undesirable increase in fucosylated forms, was observed in mAb produced in SFM and CDM media. Approxi. 80% of potential mAb glycosylation sites were occupied, regardless of the culture medium used.
Metabolomics as a complementary tool in cell culture
Authors: Khoo Soo Hean Gary , Al‐Rubeai Mohamed
Published: May 2007

Metabolomics, the ‘global’ study of metabolite changes in a biological system, has drawn a significant amount of interest over the last few years. It can be said to be an amalgam of traditional areas such as metabolite analysis, bioanalytical development and chemometrics. Thus, piecing these areas together into the cohesive science of metabolome analysis has proved to be difficult. Most work to date has been focused on plant, microbial, as well as tissue and biofluid samples. However, the diverse potential of metabolomics in many fields, including cell engineering, has made it a universal tool for industrial, medical and research purposes. It is also a vital component of a ‘systems biology’ approach, as it is believed to be a good reflection of the phenotype of any cell or tissue. At the heart of metabolomics’ growth is the issue of method development, including sample preparation, instrument analysis, data processing and bioinformatics. Here, we look at the cell‐culture applications of metabolomics and the issues that can transform metabolomics into a mature ‘omics’ science.
Fabrication of silicon nanostructures by geometry controlled oxidation
Authors: Pennelli Giovanni , Pellegrini Bruno
Published: May 2007

This work presents fabrication processes of nanostructures on a top silicon layer of silicon on insulator substrates. These processes rely on the properties shown by a trapezoidal cross section, as the one obtained by anisotropic wet etching, when reduced by dry oxidation. As demonstrated by numerical simulations, oxide stress limits the oxidation process if the minor base is large enough, compared with the thickness. If instead the minor base is small, a triangular section is generated during the oxidation process and a controlled strong reduction of the cross section, until the nanometer range is possible. The fabrication of a silicon nanowire longer than 1.5 μm and with a cross section of 15 nm, obtained with this technique, is shown and demonstrated. By providing zones with different initial cross section dimensions, constrictions can be fabricated in suitable positions and controlled by oxidation reduction, so that tunnel barriers can be obtained. Room temperature electrical characterization of tunneling structures, based on this fabrication technique, is presented and discussed.
Surface waves on a semitoroidal water ring
Authors: Jung Sunghwan , Kim Erica , Shelley Michael J. , Zhang Jun
Published: May 2007

We study the dynamics of surface waves on a semitoroidal ring of water that is excited by vertical vibration. We create this specific fluid volume by patterning a glass plate with a hydrophobic coating, which confines the fluid to a precise geometric region. To excite the system, the supporting plate is vibrated up and down, thus accelerating and decelerating the fluid ring along its toroidal axis. When the driving acceleration is sufficiently high, the surface develops a standing wave, and at yet larger accelerations, a traveling wave emerges. We also explore frequency dependencies and other geometric shapes of confinement.
Nonlinear amplification of vorticity in inviscid interaction of orthogonal Lamb dipoles
Authors: Orlandi P. , Carnevale G. F.
Published: May 2007

Dynamical arguments based on the structure of the Euler equations suggest the possibility of rapid amplification of vorticity in which the vorticity and the rate of strain grow proportionately. During such growth, the vorticity is expected to amplify as a (ts−t)−1 power-law in time. This behavior is difficult to demonstrate numerically, in part, because initial transients tend to obscure it. Lamb dipoles are used here to construct the initial vorticity. This helps to avoid these transients and results in a flow exhibiting the expected power-law vorticity amplification for a period of time. The spatial region where the vorticity growth rate is maximal is investigated in detail using a decomposition of the vorticity along the principal axes of the rate-of-strain tensor. It is demonstrated that the vorticity and strain rate in one direction in this decomposition are proportional during the period of rapid vorticity growth. These findings suggest that, during this period, the Euler equations can be reduced to a one-dimensional model equation for vorticity in the rate-of-strain coordinate system.
Properties of light-emitting porous silicon photoetched in aqueous HF∕FeCl3 solution
Authors: Xu Yan Kai , Adachi Sadao
Published: May 2007

The formation of yellow-light-emitting porous silicon (PSi) layers in a HF solution with adding an oxidizing agent FeCl3 is presented. The PSi layers are formed by photoetching under Xe lamp illumination. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity is strongly dependent on the FeCl3 concentration and shows a maximum at x∼25 wt % [50 wt % HF:(x wt % FeCl3 in H2O)=1:1]. The surface topography as characterized by atomic force microscopy reveals features on the order of 20−100 nm with a root-mean-squares roughness of ≤2 nm. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy shows a new absorption peak at ∼1100 cm−1, which is assigned to the surface oxide stretching mode and grows larger with increasing etching time. The stain etched samples also show PL emission, but they are synthesized only at higher x concentrations (≥20 wt %). The PSi formation mechanism can be explained with the aid of a surface energy-band diagram of n-type silicon in the HF∕FeCl3 electrolyte.

Published: May 2007

Experiments on the 1-MA ZEBRA accelerator with reduced current prepulse duration, using a flashover switch, demonstrate a significant increase of initial energy deposition into the tungsten wire array before breakdown, and of total radiation energy from the Z pinch. Shorter current prepulse raises the current rate through each individual wire in the array and results in an increase of the energy deposition into wire cores before breakdown. In our experiments, the inferred tungsten wire temperature increases from ∼800K (with 250ns prepulse) up to ∼3700K (with 60ns prepulse). Total radiation energy increases from 12 to 16kJ. Our experimental results relate wire-array initiation to heating of the individual array wires up to the time of breakdown.
