Shafranov shift correction to the Furth-Yoshikawa scaling of tokamak adiabatic compression

In 1970, Furth and Yoshikawa (1970 Phys. Fluids 13 2593-6) introduced the scalings of adiabatic plasma compression. Basically, if the shape of the external plasma boundary and the aspect ratio are preserved during the compression, then the density, kinetic ...

Harmonic decomposition of the trace of 1D transfer matrices in layered media

Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez

The Transfer Matrix formalism is ubiquitous when it comes to study wave propagation in various stratified media, applications ranging from Seismology to Quantum Mechanics. A relation between variables at two points in two different layers can be establishe ...

Pedestrian typologies - nuanced considerations of urban walking

Vincent Kaufmann, Renate Albrecher

The analyses of urban environments, norms, micro-census and scientific studies reveal a variety of myths about pedestrians. One of them is the dominant representation of the pedestrian: A single person, usually with healthy body and in leisure mode. Pedest ...

Helical versus linear Jahn-Teller distortions in allene and spiropentadiene radical cations

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

The allene radical cation can be stabilized both by Jahn-Teller distortion of the bond lengths and by torsion of the end-groups. However, only the latter happens and the allene radical cation relaxes into a twisted D-2 symmetry structure with equal double- ...

An ecohydrological journey of 4500 years reveals a stable but threatened precipitation–groundwater recharge relation around Jerusalem

Gabriele Manoli

Groundwater is a key water resource in semiarid and seasonally dry regions around the world, which is replenished by intermittent precipitation events and mediated by vegetation, soil, and regolith properties. Here, a climate reconstruction of 4500 years f ...

Halo Mass-concentration Relation at the High-mass End

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Ginevra Favole

The concentration-mass (c-M) relation encodes key information about the assembly history of dark matter halos. However, its behavior at the high mass end has not been measured precisely in observations yet. In this paper, we report the measurement of the h ...
