NAGOYA, JAPANStructures in Confined Plasmas —— Proceedings of Workshop of US-Japan Joint Institute for Fusion Theory ProgramA workshop on in Confined Plasmas " was held at Institute of Plasma Physics, Nagoya University on the 13th - 16th of March, 1989. Participating in the workshop were 8 US participants ( W. Horton, A.M. Dimits, R. Dominguez, F. Driscoll, 7. S$. Hahm, A. Hasegawa, P. Lyster and P. J. Morrison ), Asse. Prof. J. Liu from Peoples Republic of China and 18 Japanese speaker-participants with 12 additional Japanese participants. The present workshop is the seventh workshop on a series of workshops on statistical physics problem in fusion plasmas, organized by the JIFT program since 1981. The specific topics of the present workshop was the mechanisms by which the selforganization into coherent structures through nonlinear interactions. The contributions to the workshop proceedings are divided into seven sections : I - Yortex Structures in Two-Fluid Plasmas ; lI- Temperature Gradient. Modes ; III - Structures in One-Fluid Plasmas ; IV ~ Structures in Vlasov Plasmas ; V - Vortex Structures in Fluids; VI ~ Hybrid Code-Particle Electron and Fluid Ion ; VII - Basic Theories. We are greatly indebted to Profess W. Horton of the University of Texas at Austin for serving as a US coordinator of the workshop, and would Like to thank the staff of Institute of Plasma Physics, especial- ly Professor Y. H. Ichikawa and Professor T. Kamimura. Tadatsugu Hatori
