Kinetic-MHD stability of virtually collisionless plasmas

The stability of pressure driven modes such as the 1/1 internal kink is known to depend sensitively on a multitude of physical effects such as toroidal rotation, kinetic effects due to thermal and suprathermal particle species and finite Larmor radius effe ...

Overview and recommendations for regionalized life cycle impact assessment

Xun Liao, Alexis Laurent

Purpose Regionalized life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) has rapidly developed in the past decade, though its widespread application, robustness, and validity still face multiple challenges. Under the umbrella of UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative, a dedicat ...

Validation of the Critical Shear Crack Theory for punching of slabs without transverse reinforcement by means of a refined mechanical model

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

Despite the intensive efforts dedicated in the last decades to better understanding punching shear failures, there is still no consensus on the mechanics governing this phenomenon and on how to implement it within a physical approach. In this paper, an ana ...

Cognitive mechanism in synchronized motion: An internal predictive model for manual tracking control

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi, Ashwini Shukla

Many daily tasks involve spatio-temporal coordination between two agents. Study of such coordinated actions in human-human and human-robot interaction has received increased attention of late. In this work, we use the mirror paradigm to study coupling of h ...

Mathematical modelling of active contraction in isolated cardiomyocytes

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier, Simone Rossi, Aymen Laadhari

We investigate the interaction of intracellular calcium spatio-temporal variations with the self-sustained contractions in cardiac myocytes. A consistent mathematical model is presented considering a hyperelastic description of the passive mechanical prope ...

On the physics guidelines for a tokamak DEMO

Olivier Sauter, Laurie Porte, Marco Wischmeier, Emiliano Fable, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli, Giovanni Tardini

The physics base for the ITER Physics Design Guidelines is reviewed in view of application to DEMO and areas are pointed out in which improvement is needed to arrive at a consistent set of DEMO Physics Design Guidelines. Amongst the proposed improvements, ...

Relative intensity noise and emission linewidth of polariton laser diodes

Raphaël Butté, Marlene Glauser

We study the relative intensity noise (RIN) per unit bandwidth in polariton laser diodes (LDs) for two pumping geometries, namely, the direct electrical and the intracavity ones as originally described in I. Iorsh et al. [Phys. Rev. B 86, 125308 (2012)], b ...

A Verification Toolkit for Numerical Transition Systems

Viktor Kuncak, Hossein Hojjat

This paper presents a publicly available toolkit and a benchmark suite for rigorous verification of Integer Numerical Transition Systems (INTS), which can be viewed as control-flow graphs whose edges are annotated by Presburger arithmetic formulas. We pres ...

Sheath boundary conditions for plasma fluid models

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

A new definition of the sheath edge is rigorously derived taking into account the kinetic properties of the plasma, and a consistent set of local sheath edge conditions is presented for the case of a magnetic field perpendicular to the wall. These local bo ...

Mixed-domain system representation using Volterra series

Martin Hasler

Mixed-signal systems combine analog and digital signal processing in one overall design that should be integrated as a single system on chip. At system level, the separation into isolated subsystem representations for analog and digital parts needs to be o ...
