Particle transport in magnetized plasmas is investigated with a fluid model of drift wave turbulence. An analytical calculation shows that magnetic field curvature and thermodiffusion drive an anomalous pinch. The curvature driven pinch velocity is consist ...
The miniaturization trend in industry requires micro devices for handling and sensing in a micro environment. As the size of the handled objects decreases and their fragility increases, the demand for sensors with higher force sensitivity and resolution gr ...
Strong electric fields generate an ExB rotation of the equilibrium plasma. Experiments have shown that this effect could lower the anomalous transport in tokamaks. The study of the effect of these flows on the linear stability of ion temperature gradient ( ...
This paper contains a new asymptotic formula relating the mean curvature of a hypersurface at a given point and the volume of small balls centered at this point. ...
The proposed heuristic combines a variable neighborhood search (VNS) framework with a local search performed by a trust-region algorithm. The curvature of the function is exploited to generate the neighborhoods. Numerical results illustrate an excellent be ...
Introducing a microscope objective in an interferometric setup induces a phase curvature on the resulting wavefront. In digital holography, the compensation of this curvature is often done by introducing an identical curvature in the reference arm and the ...
A microfabrication process of a multifunctional probe is introduced for atomic force microscopy and various electrochemical measurements on biological samples in buffer solution. The silicon nitride probes have a spring constant lower than 0.1 N/m and a co ...
A note presenting a selection of results that are elaborated upon in Cocycle superrigidity and bounded cohomology for negatively curved spaces and Orbit equivalence rigidity and bounded cohomology. Proofs are given for illustrative "toy-cases". ...
Observational evidence is presented on the geometry of meandering tidal channels evolved within coastal wetlands characterized by different tidal, hydrodynamic, topographic, vegetational and ecological features. New insight is provided on the geometrical p ...
Finite toroidal plasma current reduces the magnitude of the normal magnetic field line curvature near midvolume in a quasiaxisymmetric stellarator. This improves the ideal ballooning stability conditions. Near the edge of the plasma, a hollow toroidal curr ...
