Contents include: oblique-electron Bernstein-wave investigations; simulation of the effect of large-amplitude rf waves on the interchange instability-supporting theory; one-beam Alfven ion-cyclotron instabilities of multiple-ion distribution functions; linear-mode coupling in simulations of the Alfven ion-cyclotron instability; simulation of the plasma-sheath region including ion reflection; planar magnetron discharges; partial simulations of the low-alpha Pierce diode; theory and simulation of ion-acoustic double layers; and uniform-number generation for quiet starts.
