Tunnelling experiments have played an essential role in the development and verification of theories for superconductivity. They are usually interpreted within the so-called semiconductor model, in which the tunnelling current is given by the convolution o ...
In this paper, we investigate the effect of periodically-grounded shielding wires and surge arresters on the attenuation of lightning-induced voltages. We discuss the adequacy of the commonly made simplification of assuming the shielding wire at ground pot ...
In order to improve the throughput of the traditional “Two Electrode Voltage Clamp” (TEVC) measurements on Xenopus oocytes, we present here a chip-based non-invasive technique for the measurement of ion channels activity. We focus especially on the integra ...
This paper presents experimental results obtained at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT) at Camp Blanding, Florida during the smnmers of 2002 and 2003. Currents induced by triggered and natural lightning events were measured ...
Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) is an attractive subtractive method for complex 3d structurization of hard and very hard conductive and semi-conductive materials. The machining capabilities of a material do not depend on its hardness but on its electric ...
Current reconstruction in cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) cables is a crucial issue to determine cables performance in working conditions, and must be performed using inverse problem approaches as direct measurement is not feasible. The current distribu ...
Simulation results relevant to realistic configurations of medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution systems provide useful information to evaluate both the expected level of power quality problems on LV networks due to lightning and the benefi ...
The statistical assessment of the lightning-performances of distribution lines must take into account the presence of protection devices such as surge arresters and shielding wire/neutral groundings. Indeed, the presence of those devices does modify the in ...
Recent power quality studies have been focused on the source-identification of voltage disturbances at distribution network busses. This paper describes a method aimed at correlating indirect-lightning events with power systems relay operations, associated ...
A comparative analysis of the spatial and temporal characteristics of transient energy loads (ELMs and disruptions) on plasma facing components (PFCs) in present tokamak devices and their extrapolation to next step devices is presented. Type I ELMs lead to ...
