The effects of the radial electric field E/sub r/ on the bootstrap current in ATF-type configurations are studied with the Drift Kinetic Equation Solver (DKES). It is found that there is a range of E/sub r/ values over which the bootstrap current does not depend on E/sub r/. The effects of E/sub...

We derive a mesoscopic description of the behavior of a simple financial market where the agents can create their own portfolio between two investments alternatives: a stock and a bond. The model is derived starting from the Levy-Levy-Solomon microscopic model using the methods of kinetic theory...
