Research on conflict prevention has mainly focused on the causes of war and post-conflict reconstruction. Our knowledge on how civilians manage to contain violence in unstable and conflict environments is, however, very limited. This article aims to unders ...
Curvilinear guiding-centre drift and full-orbit equations of motion are presented as implemented in the code{VENUS-LEVIS} code. A dedicated interpolation scheme based on Fourier reconstruction in the toroidal and poloidal direction and cubic spline in the ...
Beneficial mutations can co-occur when population structure slows down adaptation. Here, we consider the process of adaptation in asexual populations distributed over several locations ("islands"). New beneficial mutations arise at constant rate u(b), and ...
Periodic arrays of elongated cobalt islands exchange coupled to continuous Permalloy thin films were fabricated using silicon nitride stencil masks and the magnetic spin configurations during magnetization reversal were studied with photoemission electron ...
Strategies for the improvement of quasiaxisymmetric stellarator configurations are explored. Calculations of equilibrium flux surfaces for candidate configurations are also presented. One optimization strategy is found to generate configurations with impro ...
A new version of the MHD_NX code, that computes the ideal MHD stability of helically symmetric equilibria with arbitrary topology of magnetic surfaces, was applied to the investigation of equilibrium magnetic islands in tokamak-like conditions. Any helical ...
When strained Stranski-Krastanow islands are used as "self-assembled quantum dots," a key goal is to control the island position. Here we show that nanoscale grooves can control the nucleation of epitaxial Ge islands on Si(001), and can drive lateral motio ...
The surface topography and local surface work function of ultrathin MgO(001) films on Ag(001) have been studied by noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). First principles calculations have been used to explain ...
Coherent x-ray diffraction is a new experimental method for studying perfect and imperfect crystals. Instead of incoherent averaging, a coherent sum of amplitudes produces a coherent diffraction pattern originating from the real space arrangement of the sa ...
At sufficiently high poloidal beta beta(theta) and low collisionality, m/n = 3/2 tearing modes are excited in the DIII-D tokamak by a q = 1 sawtooth crash perturbation. The resulting islands of full radial width w are long lived and reduce global confineme ...
