The transient pulses of heat and particles arriving at the divertor target plates as a consequence of upstream ELM activity have been characterised at JET using an array of target embedded Langmuir probes in the MkIIGB-SRP divertor. High temporal and spati ...
The effects of neutron irradiation on the microstructure of welded joints made of austenitic stainless steels have been investigated. The materials were welded AISI 304 and AISI 347, so-called test weld materials, and irradiated with neutrons at 300 degree ...
An unusual elevated atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) at altitudes of Lip to 5000 m was observed, using a combination of elastic and water vapor lidars, during a 10-day period in 2003. There was a persistent stationary anticyclonic regime over Western Europ ...
We have compared calorimetric measurements with the nonlinear optical technique vibrational sum frequency scattering to investigate interface-solvent effects in colloidal gelation transitions. This allows us to explain the difference in gelation behaviour ...
Using pulsed near infrared laser radiation for selective laser sintering bears several advantages compared to cw sintering such as low required average power, less residual heat and improved lateral precision. By adapting the pulse length (and thus the hea ...

The summer of 2003 was extremely hot in Western Europe and in the Alps. Here I analyse the role of elevation in the temperatures measured in 2003, and I compare daytime and nighttime values. Records from 16 stations at varying elevations show that, during ...
Heat and drought were extreme in summer 2003 in Europe. Climatic data show that most extreme were maximum air temperatures in June and August; maps of these two months show a striking similarity in geographical range. Over wide regions, monthly mean temper ...
An all-fiber tunable filter device that uses a resistive fiber coating to directly heat an intra-core Bragg grating is presented. Bragg gratings were fabricated in a hydrogen-loaded standard telecommunication fiber by a KrF excimer laser with a fluence of ...
The Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) manufacturing technique induces thermal stresses in parts. When such parts are used at elevated temperatures, residual stresses are relaxed and the part can suffer significant distortion. This study presents values o ...

To meet the need for studies of anaerobic microbial and animal cell cultures involving much lower heat effects as compared to aerobic microbial cultures, a bench scale calorimeter, Bio-RCl, has been improved for achieving a higher long-term sensitivity. Th ...
