A virtual sky with extragalactic HI and CO lines for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)

We present a sky simulation of the atomic HI-emission line and the first 10 rotational CO emission lines of molecular gas in galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The simulated sky field has a comoving diameter of 500 Mpc/h; hence, the actual field-of-view depend ...

Probing dark energy with steerable wavelets through correlation of WMAP and NVSS local morphological measures

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux, Jason Douglas McEwen

Using local morphological measures on the sphere defined through a steerable wavelet analysis, we examine the three-year WMAP and the NVSS data for correlation induced by the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect. The steerable wavelet constructed from the s ...

Plasma blobs in a basic toroidal experiment: Origin, dynamics, and induced transport

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Mario Ludovico Podesta

Detaching plasma blobs with very similar properties to tokamaks are observed in the basic toroidal plasma experiment TORPEX [ A. Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006) ]. The blobs originate from the breaking of wave crests of a drift-interchange w ...

PIV Measurements in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer within and above a Mature Corn Canopy. Part I: Statistics and Energy Flux

Marc Parlange

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements just within and above a mature corn canopy have been performed to clarify the small-scale spatial structure of the turbulence. The smallest resolved scales are about 15 times the Kolmogorov length scale ($\nu \ ...

Analysis and modelling of power modulation experiments in JET plasmas with internal transport barriers

Alessandro Marinoni

Understanding the physics of internal transport barriers (ITBs) is a crucial issue in developing ITER relevant advanced tokamak scenarios. To gain new information on ITBs, RF power modulation experiments, mainly devoted to the study of electron heat transp ...

Solvent mediated assembly of nanoparticles confined in mesoporous alumina

Francesco Stellacci

The controlled self-assembly of thiol stabilized gold nanocrystals in a mediating solvent and confined within mesoporous alumina was probed in situ with small angle x-ray scattering. The evolution of the self-assembly process was controlled reversibly via ...

Evolution with redshift of the ICM abundances

We predict the behaviour of the abundances of ff- elements and iron in the intracluster medium (ICM) as a function of redshift in poor and rich clusters. In order to do that we calculate the detailed chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies by means of on ...

Variational Formulation of the Linear Mhd Stability of 3d-Plasmas with Noninteracting Hot-Electrons

Wilfred Anthony Cooper

The linear MHD stability problem for 3D plasmas with noninteracting hot electron layers and nested magnetic flux surfaces in the absence of dissipation mechanisms is formulated in variational form. Boozer magnetic coordinates are extended to anisotropic pr ...
