Abstract
The Faraday-effect based polarimeter and interferometer are developed for non-perturbation magnetic field and density measurements on the Keda Reconnection eXperiment (KRX) device. The magnetic reconnection is externally driven by a pair of parallel current plates. To design this instrument and provide an alternative way to facilitate theory-experiment comparisons via forward modeling of the diagnostics process with full plasma dynamics given by simulation, we develop a synthetic diagnostics based on 2D photonic integrated circuit simulation for magnetic reconnection on the KRX. The view-line geometry is optimized and wavelengths (1 mm) of the polarimeter and interferometer are selected to ensure the sensitivity of measurement on the KRX. We have simulated magnetic reconnection on the x-line (x-z plane) with horizontal viewing and vertical viewing for line of sight measurements. It is found that the current sheet width and indicator of magnetic reconnection can be inferred directly from the dynamics of Faraday rotation even with the line-integrated character of polarimeter-interferometer diagnostics.

Abstract
The cross-polarization scattering (CPS) system for magnetic fluctuation measurements in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) has been designed and installed. Different from the Doppler reflectometer (DR) system, the CPS system detects the perpendicular polarization of the electromagnetic wave induced by magnetic fluctuations B̃. The CPS system in the EAST has been developed from the existing Doppler reflectometer system, and they are integrated together for simultaneous measurement of magnetic and density fluctuations. Ray-tracing simulations are used to calculate the scattering locations and the wavenumber coverage of the magnetic fluctuation for CPS. In the experiments, the CPS and DR system data were different in Doppler shift, amplitude, and spectrum broadening. In this article, the hardware design, the ray tracing, and the preliminary results of the system in the EAST are presented.

Abstract
A 5-channel Doppler backscattering system has been designed and installed in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). Through an I/Q-type double sideband modulator and a frequency multiplier, an array of finely spaced (Δf = 400 MHz) frequencies that span 1.6 GHz has been created. The center of the array bandwidth is tunable within the range of 75-97.8 GHz, which covers most of the W band (75-110 GHz). The incident angle can be adjusted from -4° to 12°, and the wavenumber range is 4-15 cm-1 with a wavenumber resolution of Δk/k ≤ 0.35. Ray tracing is used to calculate the scattering location and the scattering wavenumber. This article details the hardware design, the ray tracing, and the preliminary experimental results from EAST plasmas.

Abstract
Based on a new technique, a tunable, multi-channel system that covers the Q-band (33-55 GHz) is presented in this article. It has a potential use of the Doppler backscattering system diagnostic that can measure the turbulence radial correlation and the perpendicular velocity of turbulence by changing the incident angle. The system consists primarily of a double-sideband (DSB) modulation and a multiplier, which creates four probing frequencies. The probing frequency enables the simultaneous analysis of the density fluctuations and flows at four distinct radial regions in tokamak plasma. The amplitude of the probing frequency can be adjusted by the initial phase of the intermediate frequency (IF) input from the double-sideband, and the typical flatness is less than 10 dB. The system was tested in the lab with a rotating grating, and the results show that the system can operate in the frequency range of 33-55 GHz with a Q-band multitude and that the power of each channel can be adjusted by the phase of the IF input of DSB.

Abstract
In the wild-type strains of the homobasidiomycete Schizophyllum commune microtubules were totally depolymerized by low concentrations of nocodazole, while high concentrations of benomyl only modified the structure of microtubule cytoskeleton. In the nocodazole-tolerant mutant strain NT30 the microtubule cytoskeleton remained partly functional at a nocodazole concentration which demolished the microtubules in the wild-type strains. The continuation of apical growth for several hours in the wild-type strain without cytoplasmic microtubules indicated that microtubules are not the major elements in hyphal extension growth. However, the irregular branching of the treated apical cells both in the nocodazole-sensitive and -tolerant strain suggested that an intact microtubule cytoskeleton is needed for maintaining the direct extension of the leading hyphae at the colony edge. In the nocodazole-sensitive strain growth in the absence of polymerized microtubules frequently led to the death of the apical cells even when the drug was removed. In the tolerant strain the nuclear divisions continued in spite of nocodazole, but the uninucleate hyphal compartments became multinucleate. This probably resulted from poor segregation of nuclei and septation of hyphae at telophase, which indicated that these processes might be dependent on proper polymerization of cytoplasmic microtubules in higher fungi. The different electrophoretic mobility of the beta-tubulin from the NT30 strain and its parental strains suggested that the tolerance of the NT30 to nocodazole could be due to a mutation in a beta-tubulin encoding gene.
