             abstract = "Non-Maxwellian distribution functions are frequently observed in 
                         space and laboratory plasmas in (quasi-) stationary states, 
                         usually resulting from long-range nonlinear wave-particle 
                         interactions [P. H. Yoon, Phys. Plasmas 19, 012304 (2012)]. Since 
                         the collisional transport described by the Boltzmann equation with 
                         the standard collisional operator implies that the plasma 
                         distribution function evolves inexorably towards a Maxwellian, the 
                         description of the transport for stationary states outside of 
                         equilibrium requires a different formulation. In this work, we 
                         approach this problem through the non-extensive statistics 
                         formalism based on the Tsallis entropy. The basic framework of the 
                         kinetic model and the required generalized form of the collision 
                         operator are self-consistently derived. The fluid equations and 
                         the relevant transport coefficients for electrons are then found 
                         employing the method of Braginskii. As an illustrative application 
                         of the model, we employ this formalism to analyze the heat flux in 
                         solar winds.",
