Magnetohydrodynamic helical structures in nominally axisymmetric low-shear tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Antoine Pochelon, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti

The primary goal of hybrid scenarios in tokamaks is to enable high performance operation with large plasma currents whilst avoiding MHD instabilities. However, if a local minimum in the safety factor is allowed to approach unity, the energy required to ove ...

Macro-action discovery based on change point detection and boosting

François Fleuret, Leonidas Lefakis

We present a novel approach to automatic macroaction discovery and its application to a complex goal-planning task. The problem of macro-action discovery is framed as one of multiple change point detection and is addressed with the help of the Dynamic Prog ...

Temperature effect on connective tissue cells

Philippe Abdel Sayed, Salim Elias Darwiche

Intervertebral discs (IVD) are soft tissues that have viscoelastic behavior. Under cyclic loading, viscoelastic tissues dissipate the mechanical loading through the production of heat. In IVD, it is hypothesized that heat cannot be convected from the nucle ...

The human in the loop

Aude Billard

In classical man-machine interfaces applied to rehabilitation, the primary goal is to control the (bio)mechanical interaction between the human and the machine or environment. However, integrating the human into the loop can be considered not only from a b ...

Detection and treatment of subclinical tuberculosis

Stewart Cole

Reduction of active disease by preventive therapy has the potential to make an important contribution towards the goal of tuberculosis (TB) elimination. This report summarises discussions amongst a Working Group convened to consider areas of research that ...

Where are we in understanding salamander locomotion: biological and robotic perspectives on kinematics

Auke Ijspeert, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

Salamanders have captured the interest of biologists and roboticists for decades because of their ability to locomote in different environments and their resemblance to early representatives of tetrapods. In this article, we review biological and robotic s ...

Integration of Correct-by-Construction BIP Models into the MetroII Design Space Exploration Flow

Alena Simalatsar

Design correctness and performance are major issues which are usually considered separately, and with different emphasis, by traditional system design flows. In this paper we show that one can meaningfully connect and benefit from the advantages of two des ...

Ron was wrong, Whit is right

Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Maxime Augier, Christophe Wachter

We performed a sanity check of public keys collected on the web. Our main goal was to test the validity of the assumption that different random choices are made each time keys are generated. We found that the vast majority of public keys work as intended. ...

Thermo-economic analysis and modeling of oxyfuel processes

Within the goal of reducing the atmospheric CO2 emissions, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is regarded as a promising option. For CO2 capture different concepts are investigated; post-combustion, pre-combustion and oxyfuel-combustion (pure O2 oxidation). Her ...

Algorithmes d'adaptation de maillages anisotropes et application à l'aérodynamique

Wissam Hassan

The goal of this thesis is to study an anisotropic adaptive algorithm for transonic compressible viscous flow around an airwing. A convection-diffusion model problem is considered, an anisotropic a posteriori error estimator for the H1 semi-norm of the err ...
