DRONE GAME THAT HIGHLIGHTS ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS OF DESIGN DECISIONS

Siara Ruth Isaac, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Gianni Lodetti, Barbara Bruno

This paper reports on the development of a brief scenario-based challenge to prompt engineering students’ reflection about the broader impacts of their design decisions, and thereby increase their ethical sensitivity and motivation. The game scenario asks ...

Kratos, les mythes, le monde. Jeux vidéo et représentations sociales contemporaines de la mythologie

Yohann Michel Franck Guffroy

In 2018, the Santa Monica studio released a new God of War. Contrary to the previous games, its hero Kratos no longer plays in Greece but in Scandinavia with a new pantheon. In this article, we are interested in player’s mythology representations from thei ...

Diamond Window Technology for Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive: State of the Art

Konstantinos Avramidis

Nuclear fusion power plants require electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (H&CD) systems for plasma heating and stabilization. High-power microwave beams between 1 and 2?MW generated by gyrotrons propagate in a dedicated waveguide transmission ...

Technological and physics assessments on heating and current drive systems for DEMO

Minh Quang Tran, Laurie Porte, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli, Giovanni Tardini

The physics requirements of the heating and current (H&CD) systems in a Demonstration Fusion Power Plant (DEMO) are often beyond the actual level of design maturity and technology readiness required. The recent EU fusion roadmap advocates a pragmatic appro ...

In contextual modulation, bigger is not better for low luminance stimuli

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

Performance on a target can be modified by contextual elements. For example, thresholds strongly increase when a vernier is flanked by two lines. Increasing the number of flankers reduces contextual interference when the flankers are shorter or longer than ...

Short Diastereoselective Synthesis of the C1-C13 (AB Spiroacetal) and C17-C28 Fragments (CD Spiroacetal) of Spongistatin 1 and 2 through Double Chain-Elongation Reactions

Pierre Vogel, Christopher Flowers

A unique and practical synthetic sequence for rapid access to polyketides and to further the spiroacetals derived from them, which utilizes a bidirectional Hosomi-Sakurai allylation approach around key allylsilanes in the synthesis of the AB and CD ring sy ...

First experimental results from the EU 2 MW coaxial cavity ITER gyrotron prototype

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Minh Quang Tran, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Laurie Porte, Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Emmanuel Droz

The EU is working towards providing 2 MW, coaxial-cavity, CW, 170 GHz gyrotrons for ITER. Their design is based on results from an experimental pre-prototype tube in operation at FZK for several years, having a pulse length of several milliseconds. The fir ...

Characterization of H+ and Cd2+ Binding Properties of Bacterial Exopolymers

Cristina Lamelas

The proton and Cd binding capacities of microbially produced exopolysaccharides, EPS, were quantified by the determination of complex stability constants and the concentration of complexing sites using H+ or Cd2+ selective electrodes in dynamic titrations. ...
