Global collisional gyrokinetic simulations of ITG microturbulence starting from a neoclassical equilibrium

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

Linearized operators describing inter-species and like-species collisions have been discretized and implemented in the gyrokinetic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code ORB5 [S. Jolliet, Comp. Phys. Comm. 177, 409 ( 2007)] based on the delta-f approach. Simulation r ...

Microturbulence driven transport of energetic ions in the ITER steady-state scenario

Mattia Albergante

Modelling of microturbulence-driven transport of energetic ions in an ITER steady-state scenario is presented. Results indicate that a significant fraction of the velocity space distribution of alpha particles and deuterium ions can be transported above ne ...

Global gyrokinetic simulations of rho* and nu* scalings of turbulent transport

Laurent Villard, Trach-Minh Tran, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan

Turbulent transport dynamics and level are investigated with the 5D gyrokinetic global code GYSELA, modelling the Ion Temperature Gradient instability with adiabatic electrons. The heat transport exhibits large scale events, propagating radially in both di ...

Declining support for environmental policy? Applying economic voting models to referendums

Philippe Thalmann, Nicholas Bornstein

This study examines the personal, institutional and macroeconomic determinants of individual votes on 36 environmental protection proposals put to vote over twenty-one years in Switzerland. It applies a hierarchical model allowing for heterogeneous voter m ...

Double-dividend analysis with SCREEN : an empirical study for Switzerland

Pierre-André Haldi

This paper presents an empirical study that quantifies the effects of an ecological fiscal reform as recently rejected by the Swiss population. The measure aims to encourage employment and, at the same time, to dissuade from an excessive energy use and the ...

Dynamic or inert metabolism? Turnover of N-acetyl aspartate and glutathione from D-[1-13C]glucose in the rat brain in vivo

Rolf Gruetter

The rate of (13)C-label incorporation into both aspartyl (NAA C3) and acetyl (NAA C6) groups of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) was simultaneously measured in the rat brain in vivo for up to 19 h of [1-(13)C]glucose infusion (n = 8). Label incorporation was detec ...

Modelling of electron transport and of sawtooth activity in tokamaks

Transport phenomena in tokamak plasmas strongly limit the particle and energy confinement and represent a crucial obstacle to controlled thermonuclear fusion. Within the vast framework of transport studies, three topics have been tackled in the present the ...
