Development of a Heavy Metal Sensing Boat for Automatic Analysis in Natural Waters Utilizing Anodic Stripping Voltammetry

Determination of the levels of heavy metal ions would support assessment of sources and pathways of water pollution. However, traditional spatial assessment by manual sampling and off-site detection in the laboratory is expensive and time-consuming and req ...

The high-power helicon program at DIII-D: gearing up for first experiments

Alessandro Marinoni

Helicon current drive (CD), also called fast wave CD in the lower hybrid range of frequencies, has long been regarded as a promising CD tool for reactor grade plasmas. A newly installed MW-level system at DIII-D will be the first test of this technology in ...

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 ...

Sex moderates the relationship between cognitive disorganisation and visual backward masking: potential implications for an endophenotype of schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Guillaume Sierro

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that impairs individuals’ life, often chronically and from early adulthood on. There is a search for endophenotypes, i.e. stable markers of the genetic underpinnings of the disease. Visual backward masking (VBM) is ...

Measurements of branching fractions and time-dependent CP violating asymmetries in B-0 -> D-(*D-)+/-(-/+) decays

Olivier Schneider, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Jing Li

We report measurements of branching fractions and time-dependent CP asymmetries in B-0 -> D+D- and B-0 -> D*D-+/-(-/+) decays using a data sample that contains (772 +/- 11) x 10(6)B (B) over bar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detecto ...

The ITER EC H&CD upper launcher: Structural design

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Jean-Daniel Landis

Four ITER EC H&CD (Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive) Upper Launchers will be installed in the ITER Tokamak to counteract plasma instabilities by injection of up to 20 MW of millimeter-wave power at 170 GHz. Each Launcher features a structural s ...

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 ...

Authentication of documents and articles by moire patterns

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

The present invention relies on the moiré patterns generated when superposing a base layer made of base band patterns and a revealing line grating (revealing layer). The produced moiré patterns comprise an enlargement and a transformation of the individual ...

Authentication of secure items by shape level lines

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

The disclosed method and system may be used for creating advanced protection means for various categories of documents (e.g. bank notes, identity documents, certificates, checks, diploma, travel documents, tickets) and valuable products (e.g. optical disks ...

Bootstrap current compensation with electron-cyclotron waves in 3D reactor-size configurations

Sergi Ferrando I Margalet

In magnetic confinement devices, the inhomogeneity of the confining magnetic field along a magnetic field line generates the trapping of particles (with low ratio of parallel to perpendicular velocities) within local magnetic wells. One of the consequences ...

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. ...

Do Exudates Mitigate Cd Biouptake by Rhizobacterium Sinorhizobium melilotii?

To better understand the role of exudates in Cd speciation and biouptake by bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, the content of different exudate components including siderophores, proteins and polysaccharides were quantified in absence and presence of 10M C ...
