Modelling of advanced three-ion ICRF heating and fast ion generation scheme for tokamaks and stellarators

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Laurent Villard, Jonathan Graves, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Samuel Lanthaler

Absorption of ion-cyclotron range of frequencies waves at the fundamental resonance is an efficient source of plasma heating and fast ion generation in tokamaks and stellarators. This heating method is planned to be exploited as a fast ion source in the We ...

Experimental study of large scale plunging jets

Michael Pfister

The lack of knowledge regarding air entrainment caused by large jets in hydraulic structures, such as downstream Pelton turbines, has led EDF (Electricité de France) to carry out a test series to optimize the La Coche Power plant. The data extracted from t ...

On the Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Remoulded and Natural Opalinus Clay Shale

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

The geo-energy sector makes use of advanced technologies such as shale gas extraction, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological disposal that rely on the exploitation of shale formations. Due to the great depths involved in these applications and the ...

StreamFlow 1.0: an extension to the spatially distributed snow model Alpine3D for hydrological modelling and deterministic stream temperature prediction

Tristan Jonas Brauchli, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Aurélien Gallice, Francesco Comola, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

Climate change is expected to strongly impact the hydrological and thermal regimes of Alpine rivers within the coming decades. In this context, the development of hydrological models accounting for the specific dynamics of Alpine catchments appears as one ...

Impact of deepwater mixing on hypoxia in Lake Geneva

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel

Lake Geneva is recovering from its eutrophic past but no significant trend in the areal hypolimnetic oxygen depletion rate has been observed over the last 30 years. Due to the large depth of 309 m, the lake is not mixed completely every winter which can le ...

Towards defect-free 1-D GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures based on GaAs nanomembranes

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Davide Deiana, Federico Matteini, Heidi Andrea Potts

We demonstrate the growth of defect-free zinc-blende GaAs nanomembranes by molecular beam epitaxy. Our growth studies indicate a strong impact of As-4 re-emission and shadowing in the growth rate of the structures. The highest aspect ratio structures are o ...

The effects of globotriaosylceramide tail saturation level on bilayer phases

Julian Charles Shillcock

Globotriaosylceramide (Gb(3)) is a glycosphingolipid present in the plasma membrane that is the natural receptor of the bacterial Shiga toxin. The unsaturation level of Gb(3) acyl chains has a drastic impact on lipid bilayer properties and phase behaviour, ...
