Understanding the plasma dynamics in tokamaks is of fundamental importance to reliably predict the performances of future fusion devices. Because of the complex phenomena at play, state-of-the-art simulation codes are needed to investigate the plasma dynam ...
Experimental results on storage and mixing of ten-percent-talin/water ice slurries are presented. For this purpose a system with a storage tank, with a volume of 1000 liters and a mixing device containing three slightly inclined cones, was investigated. In ...

This paper establishes the first theorem relating resilience, round complexity and authentication in distributed computing. We give an exact measure of the time complexity of consensus algorithms that tolerate Byzantine failures and arbitrary long periods ...
This paper addresses qualitative and quantitative diversity and specialization issues in the framework of selforganizing, distributed, artificial systems. Both diversity and specialization are obtained via distributed learning from initially homogeneous sw ...
A methodology to perform a rigorous verification of Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations is presented, both for assessing the correct implementation of the model equations (code verification), and evaluating the numerical uncertainty affecting the simulation ...
The Hongrin north dam is a double curvature concrete arch dam located in western Swiss Prealps, which attains 125m high. The right bank abutment of the dam mainly consists of intensively jointed Neocomian limestone and exhibits zones of potential instabili ...
The aim of this note is to prove that any compact metric space can be made connected at a minimal cost, where the cost is taken to be the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure. ...
We develop several results on hitting probabilities of random fields which highlight the role of the dimension of the parameter space. This yields upper and lower bounds in terms of Hausdorff measure and Bessel-Riesz capacity, respectively. We apply these ...
We construct a distance on the moduli space of symplectic toric manifolds of dimension four. Then we study some basic topological properties of this space, in particular, path-connectedness, compactness, and completeness. The construction of the distance i ...
We introduce a novel and general approach for digitalization of line segments in the plane that satisfies a set of axioms naturally arising from Euclidean axioms. In particular, we show how to derive such a system of digital segments from any total order o ...
