The rapid formation of an electron internal transport barrier (eITB) is observed during a slow evolution (similar or equal to 200 ms) from a centrally peaked to a hollow current density profile, while all external actuators remain constant. The time consta ...
Because of the longevity of the built environment, it is important not only to study methods of daylighting in new buildings, but to consider daylighting in existing buildings as well. Technologies exist which could benefit these buildings, but predicting ...
Results are presented from the JET Trace Tritium Experimental (TTE) campaign using minority tritium (T) plasmas (n(T)/n(D) < 3%). Thermal tritium particle transport coefficients (D-T, nu(T)) are found to exceed neo-classical values in all regimes, except i ...
The treatment of kinetic shear Alfven waves in homogeneous magnetized plasmas by means of Vlasov simulation is examined. To this end, the driftkinetic version of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations is solved via various numerical schemes, all employing a grid in ...
A new extruder design has been developed for the coextrusion of two-layer annular sections. The extruder consists of a conical stator-rotor-stator assembly, which performs extrusion from each side of the rotor. Flow within this assembly is fully three-dime ...
Human reaching in a 3D environment is an interesting matter of research due to its application to workplace or vehicle-interior design. We introduce a 3D environment where a virtual human performs reaching tasks over 3D objects in the world. This environme ...
The present study aims to demonstrate the major influence of the vertical heterogeneity of rainfall on radar–rain gauge assessment. For this purpose, an experimental setup was deployed during the HYDROMET Integrated Radar Experiment (HIRE-98) based on a co ...
We consider the rate-distortion problem for sensing the continuous space-time physical temperature in a circular ring on which a heat source is applied over space and time, and which is allowed to cool by radiation or convection. The heat source is modelle ...
We present new techniques that use motion planning algorithms based on probabilistic roadmaps to control 22 degrees of freedom (DOFs) of human-like characters in interactive applications. Our main purpose is the automatic synthesis of collision-free reachi ...
