Although Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are often used to assess wind conditions around buildings, the accuracy of such simulations is often unknown. This paper proposes a data-interpretation framework that uses multiple simulations in comb ...
Understanding the key processes occurring in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is becoming of the outmost importance while we enter the ITER era and we move towards the conception of future fusion reactors. By controlling the heat exhaust, by playing an i ...
Single-to-three-phase direct AC/AC Modular Multilevel Converters have gained a significant interest in the field of railway interties. The use of such an MMC-based structure implies more advanced control techniques as well as design requirements, especiall ...
Kinetic simulations of two-dimensional finite-amplitude electron plasma waves are performed in a one-wavelength long system. A systematic study of the most unstable linear sideband mode, in particular its growth rate gamma and wavenumber k(y), is carried o ...
PILATUS X-ray detectors are in operation at many synchrotron beamlines around the world. This article reports on the characterization of the new PILATUS3 detector generation at high count rates. As for all counting detectors, the measured intensities have ...
We have performed simulations of the principal deuterium Hugoniot curve using coupled electron-ion Monte Carlo calculations. Using highly accurate quantum Monte Carlo methods for the electrons, we study the region of maximum compression along the Hugoniot, ...
The focus of this paper is on multitask learning over adaptive networks where different clusters of nodes have different objectives. We propose an adaptive regularized diffusion strategy using Gaussian kernel regularization to enable the agents to learn ab ...
We report the first demonstration of a unidirectional, isolator-free 2-mmthulium-doped fiber (TDF) laser, relying on the properties of the theta cavity (ring resonator with S-shaped feedback). The core pumped theta cavity TDF laser provides sub-Watt output ...

In this paper, we develop an autonomous construction system in which self-contained ground robots build a protective barrier by means of compliant pockets. We present a stochastic control algorithm based on two biological mechanisms–stigmergy and templates ...
Applications of the RApid Plasma Transport simulatOR (RAPTOR) for the simulation of the plasma tokamak parameters evolution are presented. The RAPTOR transport model has been extended by time varying terms and verified via comparisons with ASTRA simulation ...
