Policies and Procedures for Successful Implementation of Alternative Technical Concepts

Transportation agencies increasingly allow design–build teams and construction contractors to incorporate alternative technical concepts (ATCs) into proposals for highway projects. The ATC approach allows proposers to suggest modifications to a contract requirement that would result in the project being equal to or better than the design in the solicitation. This paper investigates current procurement policies and presubmittal procedures followed by state transportation agencies in the implementation of ATCs in transportation projects. The paper reports survey results of state departments of transportation (DOTs) that generated responses from 42 state DOTs. These results were compared with a content analysis of solicitation documents of 65 ATC projects from 24 DOTs. The results showed that although ATC usage was most common in design–build projects, ATCs have been successfully implemented in nearly all project delivery methods. The study showed that incorporation of ATCs into the procurement process allow...

Regression Test Case Prioritization Technique Using Genetic Algorithm

Regression testing is a maintenance action in which it ensures validity of changed software. Regression testing takes much time to execute the entire test suite and this activity is very costly. In this paper we present a technique which is based on Genetic algorithms (GA) for test case prioritization. Genetic algorithm is a generative algorithm based on natural evolution which generate solutions to optimization problem. In this paper, a new Genetic algorithm is used for regression testing that will prioritize test cases using statement coverage technique. The Algorithm finds fitness function using statement coverage. The results shows the efficiency of algorithms with the help of Average Percentage of Statement Coverage (APSC) metric. This prioritization technique shows optimum results to prioritize the test case. Genetic Algorithm is used to produce the population and it finds the optimal sequence order of test case in regression testing.

Energy-Efficient Dimensioning with Traffic Engineering for Municipal Mesh Access Networks

We target energy efficiency of municipal access networks. A municipal access network typically provides coverage for city-wide area, and is characterized by diverse and dynamic traffic profiles. Most existing approaches to energy savings adapt network state to traffic variation. However, these approaches fail to capture the potential of energy savings by exploiting the traffic that has already existed in the network. We study network dimensioning for municipal mesh access networks to save energy by rearranging existing traffic and adjusting link rate. The problem of energy-efficient network dimensioning is formulated using mixed integer linear programming. We also propose an efficient heuristic algorithm that consists of both traffic engineering and link-rate adaptation. Numerical experimental results show that our scheme is more effective than link-rate adaptation in saving energy, and achieves a good balance between energy efficiency and resource efficiency.

The treatment of congenital dislocation and subluxation of the hip in the older child.

Two additional risks are involved in the treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip when diagnosis is made too late: avascular necrosis following the reduction, and residual coxo-femoral dysplasia. Our study and the experience that we acquired within the past 10 years on 142 hips show the value of closed reduction by slow progressive traction with abduction and internal rotation, and the value of innominate osteotomy. These are two strong points on which we can base our treatment in order to further improve the results of our efforts in this field.

This paper presents an exact combinatorial algorithm for solving the Discrete Berth Allocation Problem (DBAP) and the Hybrid Berth Allocation Problem (HBAP) with fixed handling times of vessels based on the original algorithm for solving combinatorial problems called Sedimentation Algorithm. We address the issues of DBAP and HBAP according to the Rashidi and Tsang model. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed algorithm is the first exact combinatorial algorithm for solving the general DBAP and HBAP based on Rashidi and Tsang model. Computational results prove the superiority of the proposed algorithms compared with the exact solvers based on the Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) models. Efficient C implementation enabled us to solve instances with up to 65 vessels. This resolves most of the real life problems, even in large ports.

Hierarchical Networks-on-Chip Interconnect for Astrocyte-Neuron Network Hardware

Scalable hardware interconnect is a significant research challenge for neuromorphic systems in particular, this becomes more pronounced when we seek to realise the integration of neurons with astrocytes cells. This paper presents a novel interactive architecture for the astrocyte-neuron network (ANN) hardware systems, and the novel Hierarchical Astrocyte Network Architecture (HANA) using networks-on-chip (NoC) for the efficient information exchange between astrocyte cells. The proposed HANA incorporates a two-level NoC packet transmission mechanism to increase the information exchange rate between astrocyte cells and to provide a NoC traffic balance for local and global astrocyte networks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HANA approach can provide efficient information exchange rates for the ANN, while the hardware synthesis results using 90 nm CMOS technology show that it has a low area overhead which maintains scalability.

Combination of a dynamic-hybrid berth allocation problem with a quay crane scheduling problem

Recently due to the increasing pressure to improve the efficiency of port operations, a great deal of research has been devoted to optimizing container terminal operations. Most papers deal with either the berth allocation problem or the crane scheduling problem. However only a limited number of papers deal with both, berth allocation and crane scheduling through either a combined model of the two problems, or two models with nested loops of each problem feeding into each other. In this paper, however, a mixed integer programming model is proposed for the integrated berth allocation and quay crane scheduling. Numerical experiments are conducted to test the performance of the proposed approach, using commercial software. The results illustrate that predefining both the berth allocation and crane scheduling before the vessel is processed results in improved time optimization.

Electrolyte tests are performed from routine blood tests. The techniques are simple, automated, and fairly uniform throughout the United States. During the preparation of blood plasma or serum, health workers must take care not to break the red blood cells, especially when testing for serum potassium.

Electromyography (EMG) is a form of electrodiagnostic testing that is used to study nerve and muscle function. Commonly performed by a physiatrist or neurologist trained in this procedure, EMG testing can provide your doctor with specific information about the extent of nerve and/or muscle injury and can also determine the exact location of injury and give some indication whether the damage is reversible.

what does a nerve conduction test show

The speed of the response is called the conduction velocity. The same nerves on the other side of the body may be studied for comparison. When the test is done, the electrodes are removed. Nerve conduction studies are done before an EMG if both tests are being done.Nerve conduction tests may take from 15 minutes to 1 hour or more, depending on how many nerves and muscles are studied.ormal: The EMG recording shows no electrical activity when the muscle is at rest. There is a smooth, wavy line on the recording with each muscle contraction. The nerve conduction studies show that the nerves send electrical impulses to the muscles or along the sensory nerves at normal speeds, or conduction velocities.

A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a medical diagnostic test commonly used to evaluate the function, especially the ability of electrical conduction, of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body. nerve conduction study (NCS) is a medical diagnostic test commonly used to evaluate the function, especially the ability of electrical conduction, of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body.

what is a seismologist

What is a Seismologist? Seismology is the study of seismic waves, energy waves caused by rock suddenly breaking apart within the earth or the slipping of tectonic plates. We know these as events as earthquakes.

A seismogram is a visual record that is created by a seismograph. A seismograph is a piece of equipment that records earthquake movements. These two items go hand in hand and are essential for the study of earthquakes. Without a seismograph, there would be no seismogram. A seismograph detects movement in the Earth's crust, translating that movement through its inner workings to move a recording device, often a needle, that makes markings on what becomes the seismogram.

what is the primary tool scientist use to measure earthquakes

The study of seismic waves is known as seismology, a word derived from a Greek word meaning to shake.. Seismographs are the instruments which record earthquakes. Scientists use these instruments as their principal tool to study seismic waves. They are very sensitive instruments that can detect, measure and record ground vibrations and their intensities during an earthquake. A seismograph is a simple pendulum.

A seismometer is the scientific instrument used to detect earthquakes. Signals received from seismometers are recorded and this allows scientists to calculate the size (amount of energy released) of an earthquake, that is, its magnitude.

SOME INTERDICIPLINARY ASPECTS OF MINERALOGY

This paper gives a brief discussion of three problems related to the inter disciplinary aspects of mineralogy: (1) The relationship between the external forms and internal microscopic structures of crystals is traced historically, with special emphasis on calaverite whose indexing difficulty leads to incommensurately modulated structure, a kind of quasiperiodic structure. (2) The real structure (including imperfections and heterogeneous phase) of mineral crystals has been found to be a fertile field and of immense potential for mineralogy. (3) The study of internal periodic structure of opals in the scale of microns gave a first instance of mesoscopic periodic structure, and influenced materials science of the fabrication of photonic crystals and nanostrctures.

Here in this study we propose an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for separate nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, resorting to the single-photon input---output process of the NV center and microtoroidal resonator coupled system. In the proposed ECP, one ancillary single-photon is prepared and passed through a hybrid quantum circuit. By measuring the photon under the suitable polarization basis, maximally entangled state between the separate NV centers can be obtained with a certain success probability. The solid entanglement will be preserved during the process, which can be iterated several rounds to obtain an optimal total success probability. We also discuss the experimental feasibility of the protocol by considering current technologies, and we believe that the protocol is useful in the future applications of long-distance quantum communication and distributed quantum computation.

The concatenated Greenberger-Horne-Zeiglinger (C-GHZ) state which is a new type of logic-qubit entanglement has attracted a lot of attentions recently. We present a feasible entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for logic-qubit entanglement. This ECP is based on the linear optics, and it does not know the initial coefficients of the less-entangled C-GHZ state. This protocol can be extended to arbitrary C-GHZ state. This protocol may be useful in future quantum information processing tasks.

Recent demonstrations of macroscopic quantum coherence in Josephson junction based electronic circuits have opened an entirely new dimension for research and applications in the established field of Josephson electronics. In this article we discuss basic Josephson circuits for qubit applications, methods of quantum description of these circuits, and circuit solutions for qubit couplings. Principles of manipulation and readout of superconducting qubits are reviewed and illustrated with recent experiments using various qubit types.

Already in the first edition of this book (Barone and Paterno,"Fundamentals and Physics and Applications of the Josephson Effect", Wiley 1982), a great number of interesting and important applications for Josephson junctions were discussed. In the decades that have passed since then, several new applications have emerged. This chapter treats one such new class of applications: quantum optics and quantum information processing (QIP) based on superconducting circuits with Josephson junctions. In this chapter, we aim to explain the basics of superconducting quantum circuits with Josephson junctions and demonstrate how these systems open up new prospects, both for QIP and for the study of quantum optics and atomic physics.

The reasons for the failure to develop a successful Josephson tunnel junction made from high-temperature superconducting cuprates is discussed. The difficulties in developing a theoretical analysis of even simple-to-make cuprate Josephson devices are pointed out. The development of alternative Josephson devices based on the fabrication of engineered microbridges is addressed, and an overview is given of successful YBCO microbridges. Emphasis is given to focused ion beam and step-edge microbridges.

The Flood/post-Flood boundary in the geologic column can be determined by investigating geophysical evidence in light of Scripture’s record of the Flood. The following evidences are investigated: (1) global sediment and post-Flood erosion, (2) volcanism and climatic impact, (3) changes in the global sea level, (4) formation of the mountains of Ararat, and (5) the formation of fossil fuels. The evidences suggest that the Flood/post-Flood boundary is very late in the Cainozoic and most likely in the Pleistocene.

We present a scheme for achieving coherent spin squeezing of nuclear spin states in semiconductor quantum dots. The nuclear polarization dependence of the electron spin resonance generates a unitary evolution that drives nuclear spins into a collective entangled state. The polarization dependence of the resonance generates an area-preserving, twisting dynamics that squeezes and stretches the nuclear spin Wigner distribution without the need for nuclear spin flips. Our estimates of squeezing times indicate that the entanglement threshold can be reached in current experiments.

This article highlights some observations made in the American Occupational Therapy Association/American Occupational Therapy Foundation Clinical Reasoning Study, an ethnographic study of 14 occupational therapists working in a large teaching hospital. Concepts and premises that frequently appear in the clinical reasoning in medicine literature are discussed and compared and contrasted to observations and interpretations made of the practice and reasoning strategies of the occupational therapists who were participants in the Clinical Reasoning Study. It is postulated that similarities in the reasoning strategies of the members of the two professions are a result of use of the scientific model that calls for hypothetical reasoning. Differences, it is proposed, are accounted for by the difference in the particular focus, goals, and tasks of the two professions and the nature of the practice in those arenas. Five hypotheses are proposed as questions for further research in clinical reasoning in occupational therapy.

Both materials and new cell designs that support lower-power switching are discussed, as well as higher reliability for long cycling endurance. Two paths towards higher density are discussed: through 3D integration by the combination of PCM and 3D-capable access devices, and through multiple bits per cell, by understanding and managing resistance drift caused by structural relaxation of the amorphous phase.

Quantum simulations of a fiber squeezing experiment

We report on the excellent agreement of a first-principles, quantum dynamical simulation with the experimentally measured results of a fiber squeezer using intense, ultra-short laser pulses.

In applying reinforcement learning to continuous space problems, discretization or redefinition of the learning space can be a promising approach. Several methods and algorithms have been introduced to learning agents to respond to this problem. In our previous study, we introduced an FCCM clustering technique into Q-learning (called QL-FCCM) and its transfer learning in the Markov process. Since we could not respond to complicated environments like a non-Markov process, in this study, we propose a method in which an agent updates his Q-table by changing the trade-off ratio, Q-learning and QL-FCCM, based on the damping ratio. We conducted numerical experiments of the single pendulum standing problem and our model resulted in a smooth learning process.

The General Boundary Formulation (GBF) is a new framework for studying quantum theories. After concise overviews of the GBF and Schrodinger-Feynman quantization we apply the GBF to resolve a well known problem on Anti-deSitter spacetime where due to the lack of temporally asymptotic free states the usual S-matrix cannot be defined. We construct a different type of S-matrix plus propagators for free and interacting real Klein-Gordon theory.

We review some of the recent development in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods for models of strongly correlated electron systems. QMC is a promising general theoretical tool to study many-body systems, and has been widely applied in areas spanning condensed-matter, high-energy, and nuclear physics. Recent progress has included two new methods, the ground-state and finite-temperature constrained path Monte Carlo methods. These methods significantly improve the capability of numerical approaches to lattice models of correlated electron systems. They allow calculations without any decay of the sign, making possible calculations for large system sizes and low temperatures. The methods are approximate. Benchmark calculations show that accurate results on energy and correlation functions can be obtained. This chapter gives a pedagogical introduction to quantum Monte Carlo, with a focus on the constrained path Monte Carlo methods.

A geometric approach in the design of codebooks for OR frequency-hopping multiple-access (FHMA) channels is developed by treating a signal matrix as a finite set of distinct points. The relationship among the parameters of an interference-free j-distinguishable-point codebook, j>or=1, is established by using coordinate-free arguments. Geometry induced by such a codebook is characterized, and the design of a well-structured j-distinguishable-point codebook is related to a block design problem. It is shown that a well-structured 1-distinguishable-point codebook implies the axiom system of a finite affine plane. >

Non-Markovian quantum state diffusion for an open quantum system in fermionic environments

Non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (NMQSD) provides a powerful approach to the dynamics of an open quantum system in bosonic environments. Here we develop an NMQSD method to study the open quantum system in fermionic environments. This problem involves anticommutative noise functions (i.e., Grassmann variables) that are intrinsically different from the noise functions of bosonic baths. We obtain the NMQSD equation for quantum states of the system and the non-Markovian master equation. Moreover, we apply this NMQSD method to single and double quantum-dot systems.

In this paper, a linear-quadratic leader-follower (LQLF) differential game is considered, where the game system is governed by a mean-field stochastic differential equation (MF-SDE).

Verifying cross-Kerr induced number squeezing: a case study

AbstractWe analyse an experimental method for creating interesting nonclassical states by processing the entanglement generated when two large coherent states interact in a cross-Kerr medium. We specifically investigate the effects of loss and noise in every mode of the experiment, as well as the effect of ‘binning’ the post-selection outcomes. Even with these imperfections, we find an optimal set of currently achievable parameters which would allow a proof-of-principle demonstration of number squeezing in states with large mean photon number. We discuss other useful states which can be generated with the same experimental tools, including a class of states which contain coherent superpositions of differing photon numbers, e.g. good approximations to the state 12(|0⟩+|20⟩). Finally, we suggest one possible application of this state in the field of optomechanics.

Given a pair of simple dimension groups with isomorphic state spaces we try to express it as the pair K0(A),K0(A×αR) of K0 groups for a C*-algebra A with an action α of R, where both A and the crossed product A×αR are supposed to be simple AT algebras of real rank zero. We solve this when the state spaces are finite-dimensional.

Generating Entangled Photons from the Vacuum by Accelerated Measurements: Quantum Information Theory Meets the Unruh-Davies Effect

quantum communications between accelerated and stationary observers. We find that the projective measurement by a uniformly accelerated observer can excite real particles from the vacuum in the inertial frame, even if no additional particles are created by the measurement process in the accelerating frame. Furthermore, we show that the particles created by this accelerating measurement can be highly entangled in the inertial frame, and it is also possible to use this process to generate even maximally entangled two-qubit states by a certain arrangement of measurements. As a by-product of our analysis, we also show that a single qubit of information can be perfectly transmitted from the accelerating observer to the inertial one. In principle, such an effect could be exploited in designing an entangled-state generator for quantum communication.

Abstract In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of solutions for a non-autonomous strongly damped wave equation.

Finally we obtain an upper bound of the fractal dimension of the uniform attractor with quasiperiodic force.

On the Complexity of Quantum Languages

The standard inputs given to a quantum machine are classical binary strings. In this view, any quantum complexity class is a collection of subsets of {0, 1} � . However, a quantum machine can also accept quantum states as its input. T. Yamakami has introduced a general framework for quantum operators and inputs [18]. In this paper we present several quantum languages within this model and by generalizing the complexity classes QMA and QCMA we analyze the complexity of the introduced languages. We also discuss how to derive a classical language from a given quantum language and as a result we introduce new QCMA and QMAlanguages.

Measurement and the Quantum World

The quantum theory of measurement and its development are explained. The basis for viewing measurement in quantum mechanics as a genuine physical, rather than psychophysical process or a process that depends on consciousness or the mental, is given and defended against the critiques of Bell and others. The notion of quantum measurement as the actualization of quantum potentiality as grounded in the related versions advocated by Heisenberg and Shimony is explicated in the context of the theory of positive-operator-valued measures. Quantum interference is discussed as a process of interference of quantum potentialities in contradistinction to the interference of some material substance or the interference of probability waves. This provides the basis for a valid realist interpretation of quantum theory.

Quantum statistical inference for density estimation

A new penalized likelihood method for non-parametric density estimation is proposed, which is based on a mathematical analogy to quantum statistical physics. The mathematical procedure for density estimation is related to maximum entropy methods for inverse problems; the penalty function is a convex information divergence enforcing global smoothing toward default models, positivity, extensivity and normalization. The novel feature is the replacement of classical entropy by quantum entropy, so that local smoothing may be enforced by constraints on the expectation values of differential operators. Although the hyperparameters, covariance, and linear response to perturbations can be estimated by a variety of statistical methods, we develop the Bayesian interpretation. The linear response of the MAP estimate is proportional to the covariance. The hyperparameters are estimated by type-II maximum likelihood. The method is demonstrated on standard data sets.

Is the Preferred Basis selected by the environment?

We show that in a quantum measurement, the preferred basis is determined by the interaction between the apparatus and the quantum system, instead of by the environment. This interaction entangles three degrees of freedom, one system degree of freedom we are interested in and preserved by the interaction, one system degree of freedom that carries the change due to the interaction, and the apparatus degree of freedom which is always ignored. Considering all three degrees of freedom the composite state only has one decomposition, and this guarantees that the apparatus would end up in the expected preferred basis of our daily experiences. We also point out some problems with the environment-induced super-selection (Einselection) solution to the preferred basis problem, and clarifies a common misunderstanding of environmental decoherence and the preferred basis problem.

Selective correlations in finite quantum systems and the Desargues property

The Desargues property is well known in the context of projective geometry. An analogous property is presented in the context of both classical and Quantum Physics. In a classical context, the Desargues property implies that two logical circuits with the same input, show in their outputs selective correlations. In general their outputs are uncorrelated, but if the output of one has a particular value, then the output of the other has another particular value. In a quantum context, the Desargues property implies that two experiments each of which involves two successive projective measurements, have selective correlations. For a particular set of projectors, if in one experiment the second measurement does not change the output of the first measurement, then the same is true in the other experiment.

Controlling chaos in higher dimensional maps with constant feedback: an analytical approach.

We introduce two methods to control chaos in higher-dimensional discrete maps with constant feedback. It is analytically shown for a general class of function vectors that chaotic attractors can be converted into fixed point attractors. Additionally, a method to choose an appropriate constant feedback is presented. The application of these methods does not require a priori knowledge of system equations, since time series information can be used. Desired periodic orbits can be accessed by varying the constant feedback. As an example, the methods are applied to the Hénon map.

Quantum Mechanics at Planck scale is considered as a deformation of the conventional Quantum Mechanics.

The magnetic design of a ten-period (each period 14 mm) prototype superconducting undulator is reported using RADIA. The results of modelling the magnetic flux density are presented in an analytical formula. The dependence of the field integrals and phase error on the current density and undulator gap has been calculated, and temperature curves are determined for the models and are compared with earlier reported Moser-Rossmanith fits.

In this paper, we study the magnetic field measurement of U20 undulator. The U20 is a prototype hybrid structure of NdFeB magnets and cobalt steel poles. The hybrid device is made up of 25 periods with a period length of 20-mm each and is designed to deliver magnetic flux density (in rms) from 2400G to 500G in the 10–20-mm gap range. The validity of the theoretical and analytical formulas is analyzed through the measured field and phase integrals.

We prove that groups acting geometrically on delta-quasiconvex spaces contain no essential Baumslag-Solitar quotients as subgroups. This implies that they are translation discrete, meaning that the translation numbers of their nontorsion elements are bounded away from zero.

The paper aims to analyze the electromagnetic field components in the near field of a high frequency (HF) emission antenna. The typical case of a dipole antenna emitting Near Vertical Incident Skywave (NVIS) HF signals at two emitting frequencies (3.6 MHz and 7.1 MHz) and at 100 W input power is being discussed. The measurements have highlighted the places around the antenna where the field levels are high, from the perspective of safe exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Thus, it was found that on a line situated just beneath and parallel to the emitting antenna, the electric field strength may exceed the safety limit recommended for the population by ICNIRP guidelines. The magnetic field component however was lower than the limit in all considered cases.

High frequency data transmission over short distances (few tens-few hundreds of km) is a valuable option for communication links in special/critical situations. Present experimental study of noise level and channel availability for digital multi-carrier modulated signals in the range 2.5–7.6MHz showed that reliable transmission is possible when signal to noise ratio exceeds 14dB and when receiving location is well characterized empirically prior to link deployment.

The Superconducting Magnet Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is making and testing 20 insertion region dipoles for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. These 9.45 m-long, 8 cm aperture magnets have the same coil design as the arc dipoles now operating in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL and will be of single and twin aperture cold mass configurations. They will produce fields up to 4.14 T for operation at 7.56 TeV. The magnets will be tested at 4.5 K using either forced flow supercritical helium or liquid helium. This paper reports the results of tests of four D1 magnets, including spontaneous quench performance, verification of quench protection heater operation, and magnetic field quality.

Dynamo bifurcations in an array of driven convectionlike rolls

The bifurcations in a three-dimensional incompressible, electrically conducting fluid with an external forcing of the Roberts type have been studied numerically. The corresponding flow can serve as a model for the convection in the outer core of the Earth and is realized in an ongoing laboratory experiment aimed at demonstrating a dynamo effect. The symmetry group of the problem has been determined and special attention has been paid to symmetry breaking by the bifurcations. The nonmagnetic, steady Roberts flow loses stability to a steady magnetic state, which in turn is subject to secondary bifurcations. The secondary solution branches have been traced until they end up in chaotic states.

Abstract A very promising spin physics programme will be soon on the way at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). By studying the spin asymmetries for various processes (single photon, single jet and W ± production), we will compare the different predictions obtained using some sets of polarized parton distributions, available in the recent literature. We will put some emphasise on the analysis of the anticipated errors, given the event rates expected from this high luminosity new machine and the current acceptance for the detector systems at RHIC.

Influence of an electric field on self-diffraction of light waves in titanosillenite

A titanosillenite crystal is used as an example to demonstrate a strong dependence of the characteristics of energy exchange by self-diffraction of light in photorefractive crystals on the initial polarizations of the interacting waves and on the presence of an external electric field.

In support of the TCV experimental campaign aiming at studying H-mode plasmas with snowflake (SF) divertor, free boundary equilibrium and stability studies were performed with the SPIDER and KINX codes. Due to the high flexibility of plasma shaping capabilities of TCV, SF divertor conditions can be reached for various plasma geometries. However, at high plasma current some configurations require poloidal field (PF) coil currents close to the machine limit. This is particularly important when the equilibrium sensitivity to the edge pedestal profiles, which is higher than for standard X-point configurations, is taken into account. That is why the configuration optimization should also include the profile sensitivity study when planning the shot scenario.

130 MM aperture quadrupoles for the LHC luminosity upgrade

Several studies for the LHC luminosity upgrade pointed out the need for low-beta quadrupoles with apertures larger than the present baseline (70 mm). In this paper we focus on the design issues of a 130 mm aperture quadrupole. We first consider the Nb-Ti option, presenting a magnetic design with the LHC dipole and quadrupole cables. We study the electromagnetic forces and we discuss the field quality constraints. For the Nb3Sn option, we sketch three designs, two based on the LARP 10 mm width cable, and one on a larger cable with the same strand. The issue of the stress induced by the e.m. forces, which is critical for the Nb3Sn, is discussed using both scaling laws and finite element models.

Transport of fast particles in turbulent fields

In light of planned ITER operation, it is important to improve understanding of fast particle behavior. This work focuses on the influence of both electrostatic and electromagnetic background microturbulent fields by studying passive fast ions in gyrokinetic turbulence simulations. Since magnetic fluctuations are the primary source of fast particle diffusion at high energies, the threshold values are investigated where this regime starts to dominate over the effects of electrostatic turbulence. Comparisons with analytical theory are presented.

This paper deals with the development of a mathematical model for very high power density actively shielded air-core superconducting (SC) machines. The interacting forces of SC coils in the actively shielded SC machine are studied using a two-dimensional analytical approach. The transfer relation methodology is employed to analyze the fully air-core SC motor that is designed to reduce the weight of the machine with actively shielded coil stator. Magnetic flux and force density distributions obtained by the proposed method are compared with those obtained from finite element analyses. The results can be considered as elements of a library of tools leading toward efficient optimization and mechanical design of actively shielded SC machines.

A chain rule in the space \(L^{1}\left(\operatorname*{div};\Omega\right) \) is obtained under weak regularity conditions. This chain rule has important applications in the study of lower semicontinuity problems for general functionals of the form \(\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,\nabla u) dx\) with respect to strong convergence in \(L^{1}\left(\Omega\right) \) . Classical results of Serrin and of De Giorgi, Buttazzo and Dal Maso are extended and generalized.

Dust-Acoustic Shock Waves in a Self-Gravitating Opposite Polarity Dusty Plasmas With Trapped Ions

The basic characteristics of dust-acoustic (DA) shock waves (DASHWs) in self-gravitating dusty plasmas containing massive dust of opposite polarity, trapped ions, and Boltzmann electrons has been studied. The reductive perturbation technique has been employed to derive standard modified Burgers equation (mBE). The basic properties (viz., amplitude, width, and speed) of small but finite-amplitude DASHWs are significantly modified by the combined effects of positively and negatively charged dust component, self-gravitational force, and trapped ions. The implication of our investigation can be very effective for understanding and studying the nonlinear characteristics of the DA waves (DAWs) in laboratory and space dusty plasmas.

Giant sawtooth oscillations in the Doublet III tokamak

Large-amplitude sawtooth oscillations have been observed in the soft-X-ray emission, central electron temperature, neutron production rate, radiated power, Dα emission, fast-neutral flux and one-turn voltage during beam-heating experiments in the Doublet III tokamak. The necessary conditions for the appearance of giant sawteeth seem to be operation at low qa and high βT. Many features of the giant sawteeth have been simulated with a transport code to which a sawtooth mixing model and several diagnostic models were added. Substantial redistribution of particles and energy evidently occurs over the plasma interior. Global energy confinement, however, is only moderately degraded by the sawteeth.

The loads acting on the system was considered by referring to the Design Load Case from IEC guide line. And improved von Karman model was used as a turbulence model. As a result, various significant wave height and peak spectral period cause noticeable difference of extreme and fatigue loads prediction.

Electric and magnetic fields of 50 Hz are not associated with sudden infant death syndrome

Through the use of a case-control study measuring 50 Hz electric and magnetic fields at the SIDS baby's last head position, no association could be found between SIDS and either electric (p = 0.327) or magnetic (p = 0.827) 50 Hz fields.

Features of electron density and temperature in the 500–3500 km region of the plasmasphere—(1) Dawn and dusk sectors

Dawn-dusk features of the plasmasphere are examined for intervals in February and September 1969, using electrostatic probe data ofN e andT e from the ISIS-I satellite. Clear plasmatrough formation is seen in the vicinity of 70° geomagnetic latitude in both dawn and dusk sectors in the 1500–3500 km region, but the plasmatrough is absent in the altitude range 500–1500 km. The plasmatrough minimum near 70°φ exhibits no asymmetry between dawn and dusk sectors in its latitudinal position. TheT e peak associated with the plasmatrough is more pronounced in the dawn sector. DawnN e is less than duskN e, but dawnT e exceeds duskT e. The influence of processes in the magnetosphere in causing these features is examined.

SADE: The starspot and dynamo explorer

Abstract We propose a mission called SADE, the Starspot And Dynamo Explorer, to study dynamo activity in nearby late-type stars. The onboard instruments will be a Ca-K telescope for magnetically dominated chromospheric emission, and an X-ray grazing incidence telescope to study coronal emission. We design the mission for a life-time of 15 years or longer to capture a full activity cycle for most solar-type stars. We aim to firmly establish the spectrum of the relation between chromospheric and corona' emission in late-type stars, and capture one or more stars going into or coming out of a Maunder type minimum. Operation costs will be kept to a minimum by automating mission operations to a maximum, and have the science operations be carried out by students at Montana State University.

Constrained space-time zero-forcing pre-equalizer for the downlink channel of UMTS-TDD

The great diversity of services expected to be delivered by third generation mobile radio systems will impose severe operating conditions on the mobile terminal in terms of computational requirements and power consumption. Therefore, we propose to move the most demanding signal processing tasks, usually performed by the mobile unit, to the base station. This technique is developed for a UMTS-TDD downlink scenario through an equalizer synthesis method based on the redundancy between non-overlapping bands of a direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) signal, with the design optimised for minimum power transmission under the zero-forcing criterion.

Abstract In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of solutions for a non-autonomous strongly damped wave equation. We first prove the existence of a uniform attractor for the equation with a translation compact driving force and then obtain an upper estimate for the Kolmogorov e -entropy of the uniform attractor. Finally we obtain an upper bound of the fractal dimension of the uniform attractor with quasiperiodic force.

Information Aggregation in Probabilistic Prediction

Probabilistic prediction generally involves the consideration of information from many different sources, and this information must be aggregated to determine a single probability (or probability distribution). This paper is concerned with the aggregation process, and although some aspects of the paper are new, much of the paper is tutorial in nature. Models of the aggregation process are discussed, with particular emphasis on the question of the conditional dependence of information, and measures of the redundancy of information are developed. In addition, a review of previous experiments concerning the aggregation process is given, along with suggestions for experiments that should provide additional insight into the nature and ``efficiency'' of this process. In view of the importance of probabilistic prediction in inferential and decision-making situations, additional investigation and experimentation concerning the aggregation process should be of considerable value.

Importance sampling evaluation of digital phase detectors based on extended Kalman-Bucy filters

This paper proposes an importance sampling methodology for the performance evaluation of a class of open-loop receivers with random carrier phase tracking in additive white Gaussian noise channels. The receivers, consisting of a bank of extended Kalman-Bucy filters and a decision algorithm based on the filters' innovations processes, perform symbol-by-symbol phase detection while kepping track of the random phase process within the symbol interval. We use a large deviations approach to start a stochastic importance sampling optimization, both for the irreducible error floor and for the general noisy operation of the receiver. Our simulations show a practical coincidence with conventional Monte Carlo results, with considerable simulation time gains.

The generation and behavior of the fractal Koch array factor from a Kaiser window generator is studied. The main advantage of using Kaiser windows is that pattern parameters become much more flexible through altering the Kaiser window. The mainlobe width, current distribution, side-lobe ratio are now adjustable. Different reduced array structures can be obtained by using different threshold levels. Higher threshold values result in a highly reduced number of elements but they may highly distort the pattern and, hence, the multiband behavior. Finally, we study the effect of quantization of the feeding values. Quantization is necessary for implementation and simplification purposes. Several configurations of current distributions with the corresponding patterns are illustrated for different quantization levels. It is shown that moderate quantization keeps the same interesting similarity properties at several bands.

A lack of security metrics signifies that it is not possible to measure the success of security policies, mechanisms and implementations, and security cannot, in turn, be improved if it cannot be measured. The importance of the use of metrics to obtain security quality is thus widely accepted. However, the definition of security metrics concerns a discipline which is still in its first stages of development, meaning that few documented resources or works centring on this subject exist to date. In this paper we shall therefore study the latest existing models with which to define security metrics and their components as aspects that have a bearing on the quality of software products with the intention that this will serve as a basis for continued advancement in research into this area of knowledge.

Software security metrics are measurements to assess security related imperfections (or perfections) introduced during software development. A number of security metrics have been proposed. However, all the perspectives of a software system have not been provided specific attention. While most security metrics evaluate software from a system-level perspective, it can also be useful to analyze defects at a lower level, i.e., at the source code level. To address this issue, we propose some code-level security metrics which can be used to suggest the level of security of a code segment. We provide guidelines about where and how these metrics can be used to improve source code structures. We have also conducted two case studies to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed metrics.

Understanding the Evolution of Code Smells by Observing Code Smell Clusters

Code smells are more likely to stay inter-connected in software rather than remaining as a single instance. These code smell clusters create maintainability issues in evolving software. This paper aims to understand the evolution of the code smells in software, by analyzing the behavior of these clusters such as size, number and connectivity. For this, the clusters are first identified and then these characteristics are observed. The identification of code smell clusters is performed in three steps - detection of code smells (God Class, Long Method, Feature Envy, Type Checking) using smell detection tools, extraction of their relationships by analyzing the source code architecture, and generation of graphs from the identified smells and their relationships, that finally reveals the smelly clusters. This analysis was executed on JUnit as a case study, and four important cluster behaviors were reported.
