Solar Wind Protons in the Diamagnetic Cavity at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

The plasma environment at a comet can be divided into different regions with distinct plasma characteristics. Two such regions are the solar wind ion cavity, which refers to the part of the outer coma that does not contain any solar wind ions anymore; and ...

A Study on Gradient-based Meta-learning for Robust Deep Digital Twins

Olga Fink, Raffael Pascal Theiler, Michele Viscione

Deep-learning-based digital twins (DDT) are a promising tool for data-driven system health management because they can be trained directly on operational data. A major challenge for efficient training however is that industrial datasets remain unlabeled. T ...

A Fast Ion Loss Detector for the TCV Tokamak

Lorenzo Stipani

A Fast Ion Loss Detector (FILD) was designed, assembled, installed and commissioned for TCV. This is a radially positionable, scintillator based detector that provides information on the 2D fast-ion velocity space lost at the probe's location. The collecte ...

Palladium Catalysed Intramolecular Carbo-oxygenation of Propargylic Amines to Access 1,2-Amino Alcohols and alpha-Amino Ketones via in situ Tether Formation

Phillip Gulliver Dominic Greenwood

a-Amino ketones and 1,2-amino alcohols are important structural motifs in organic chemistry, that can be observed in natural products, pharmaceutically and bioactive compounds. For these reasons, they constitute privileged targets for the development of ne ...

Palladium-Catalyzed Functionalization of Olefins and Alkynes: From Oxyalkynylation to Tethered Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations (DYKAT)

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Ugo Jonathan Orcel, Mikus Purins, Phillip Gulliver Dominic Greenwood, Luca Buzzetti

This review presents an account of the palladium-catalyzed functionalizations of alkenes and alkynes developed at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis (LCSO). Starting from the intramolecular oxy- and aminoalkynylation of alkenes, tethered met ...

CubeSat quantum communications mission

Edoardo Charbon

Quantum communication is a prime space technology application and offers near-term possibilities for long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) and experimental tests of quantum entanglement. However, there exists considerable developmental risks and sub ...

Mitigation of divertor heat loads by strike point sweeping in high power JET discharges

Jonathan Graves

Deliberate periodic movement (sweeping) of the high heat flux divertor strike lines in tokamak plasmas can be used to manage the heat fluxes experienced by exhaust handling plasma facing components, by spreading the heat loads over a larger surface area. S ...

Pattern Generation for Rough Terrain Locomotion with Quadrupedal Robots

Mostafa Ajallooeian

Animals are able to locomote on rough terrain without any apparent difficulty, but this does not mean that the locomotor system is simple. The locomotor system is actually a complex multi-input multi-output closed-loop control system. This thesis is dedica ...

Superdiffusive transport in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

In the last few years it has been demonstrated, both by data analysis and by numerical simulations, that the transport of energetic particles in the presence of magnetic turbulence can be superdiffusive rather than normal diffusive (Gaussian). The term ‘su ...
