Solar Wind Protons in the Diamagnetic Cavity at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Lucie Anemone Scharré

The plasma environment at a comet can be divided into different regions with distinct plasma characteristics. Two such regions are the solar wind ion cavity, which refers to the part of the outer coma that does not contain any solar wind ions anymore; and ...

Mechanistic modelling of solar disinfection (SODIS) kinetics of Escherichia coli, enhanced with H2O2 - Part 2: Shine on you, crazy peroxide

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

In this second part of the development of a mechanistic kinetic model of the solar inactivation of E. coli enhanced with hydrogen peroxide, we evaluate the mechanisms based on photonic inactivation and integrate them into the kinetic model of the dark proc ...

Antennas for CubeSat Communication

Miroslav Veljovic

CubeSats are a type of small satellites (< 500 kg) that weigh several kilograms and consist of multiple Units (U) measuring 100 × 100 × 113.5 mm3. CubeSats emerged as a low-cost alternative to conventional large satellites, and have since demonstrated capa ...

Patch Antenna System for CubeSats in L band

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

An L-band patch-antenna system for CubeSat applications is presented in this paper. The high-permittivity dielectric loading reduces the size of individual antennas to make them suitable for a CubeSat platform. Two circularly polarized patch antennas were ...

Performance enhancement of downwind sails due to leading edge flapping: A wind tunnel investigation

Julien Dominique Claude Deparday

This work presents a wind tunnel experimental study on the effect of the leading edge flapping on the aerodynamic performance of a spinnaker. Four J80-class spinnaker models, combining two different assembling structures (panel layout) and two different sa ...

DextrES: Wearable Haptic Feedback for Grasping in VR via a Thin Form-Factor Electrostatic Brake

Herbert Shea, Ronan Julien Hinchet

We introduce DextrES, a flexible and wearable haptic glove which integrates both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback in a thin and light form factor (weight is less than 8g). Our approach is based on an electrostatic clutch generating up to 20 N of holding ...

Influence of Ablation on Vacuum-Ultraviolet Radiation in a Plasma Wind Tunnel Flow

Pénélope Leyland

Plasma wind tunnel experiments have been performed simulating a Hayabusa reentry trajectory point at 78.8km altitude with a velocity of 11.7km/s corresponding to a local mass-specific enthalpy of 68.4MJ/kg and a stagnation pressure of 2.44kPa. Ablation-rad ...

A path to stable low-torque plasma operation in ITER with test blanket modules

Holger Reimerdes

New experiments in the low-torque ITER Q = 10 scenario on DIII-D demonstrate that n = 1 magnetic fields from a single row of ex-vessel control coils enable operation at ITER performance metrics in the presence of applied non-axisymmetric magnetic fields fr ...

Scale-dependent effects of solar radiation patterns on the snow-dominated hydrologic response

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Bettina Schaefli, Francesco Comola

Solar radiation is a dominant driver of snowmelt dynamics and streamflow generation in alpine catchments. A better understanding of how solar radiation patterns affect the hydrologic response is needed to assess when calibrated temperature-index models are ...

Solar light (hv) and H2O2/hv photo-disinfection of natural alkaline water (pH 8.6) in a compound parabolic collector at different day periods in Sahelian region

César Pulgarin, Juliette Ndounla

The photo-disinfection of natural alkaline surface water (pH 8.6 +/- 0.3) for drinking purposes was carried out under solar radiation treatments. The enteric bacteria studied were the wild total coliforms/Escherichia coli (10(4) CFU/ml) and Salmonella spp. ...

SALSA: a tool to estimate the stray light contamination for low-Earth orbit observatories

Thibault Adrien Kuntzer

Stray light contamination reduces considerably the precision of photometric of faint stars for low altitude space-borne observatories. When measuring faint objects, the necessity of coping with stray light contamination arises in order to avoid systematic ...

Evolution of the observed Ly alpha luminosity function from z=6.5 to z=7.7: evidence for the epoch of reionization?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Aims. Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) can be detected out to very high redshifts during the epoch of reionization. The evolution of the LAE luminosity function with redshift is a direct probe of the Ly alpha transmission of the intergalactic medium (IGM), and the ...

Numerical simulation of a sailing boat : free surface, fluid-structure interaction and shape optimization

Matteo Lombardi

In this work, various aspects concerning the numerical simulation of a sailing boat are investigated. The attention is focused on simulation of the free-surface, the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between wind and sails, and the dynamics of the whole bo ...

Urban acceptability of building integrated solar systems: LESO-QSV approach

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

The concern for sustainable development issues together with the new EU promotion policies are finally leading to a widespread use of Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal systems in buildings. This upcoming reality is opening a new debate on the urban/architectu ...

Colloidal processing and sintering of nanosized transition aluminas

Heinrich Hofmann, Paul Bowen

The dispersion of nanosized gamma aluminas with high specific surfaces areas (100 m2 /g) and primary particle sizes around 20 nm, using polyacrylic acid, has been investigated. The effect of pH and polymer concentration showed that the highest density gree ...
