Fixed boundary three-dimensional anisotropic pressure equilibria are computed that are consistent with a family of distribution functions that load particles preferentially towards v parallel to similar or equal to v and model the effects of balanced tange ...
Deposition of electron cyclotron waves at high-power densities for heating and current drive in a tokamak plasma generates a population of fast electrons and therefore the velocity distribution of the electron population will deviate from a Maxwellian. Apa ...
A common feature of the Vlasov equation is that it develops fine-scale filamentation as time evolves, as observed, for example, in global nonlinear simulations of the ion-temperature-gradient instability. From a numerical point of view, it is not trivial t ...
This contribution presents an ongoing study focused on how location awareness feature modifies collaboration in the context of mobile computing. First it describes the environment we designed and implemented in the form of a mobile game called CatchBob!. T ...
To describe complex fenestration systems such as novel solar blinds, new glazing or coating materials, daylight and sunlight-redirecting devices, a detailed description of their optical properties is needed, given by their Bidirectional Transmission (or Re ...
This thesis presents the coherence properties of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. Semiconductor microcavities are microstructures in which the exciton ground state of a semiconductor quantum well is coupled to a photonic mode of a microresonator. ...
We do a case study of two different analysis techniques for studying the stochastic behavior of a randomized system/algorithms: (i) The first approach can be broadly termed as a mean value analysis (MVA), where the evolution of the mean state is studied as ...
The essential ingredients of control design procedures include the acquisition of process knowledge and its efficient integration into the controller. In many practical control applications, a reliable mathematical description of the plant is difficult or ...
We present a fundamental investigation of the influence of material and structural parameters on the mechanics of fragmentation of brittle materials. First, we conduct a theoretical analysis (similar to Drugan's single wave problem, Drugan, WJ. (2001), Jou ...
Current software-based micro architecture simulators are many orders of magnitude slower than the hardware they simulate. Hence, most microarchitecture design studies draw their conclusions from drastically truncated benchmark simulations that are often in ...
