On the universality of power laws for tokamak plasma predictions

Significant deviations from well established power laws for the thermal energy confinement time, obtained from extensive databases analysis as the IPB98(y, 2), have been recently reported in dedicated power scans. In order to illuminate the adequacy, valid ...

Pedestal evolution physics in low triangularity JET tokamak discharges with ITER-like wall

The pressure gradient of the high confinement pedestal region at the edge of tokamak plasmas rapidly collapses during plasma eruptions called edge localised modes (ELMs), and then re-builds over a longer time scale before the next ELM. The physics that con ...

Analysis of ELM stability with extended MHD models in JET, JT-60U and future JT-60SA tokamak plasmas

The stability with respect to a peeling-ballooning mode (PBM) was investigated numerically with extended MHD simulation codes in JET, JT-60U and future JT-60SA plasmas. The MINERVA-DI code was used to analyze the linear stability, including the effects of ...

Non-invasive diagnosis and metabolic consequences of congenital portosystemic shunts in C57BL/6 J mice

Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Hongxia Lei

This study demonstrates the suitability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for the imaging of congenital portosystemic shunts (PSS) in mice, a vascular abnormality in which mesenteric blood bypasses the liver and i ...

Glycogen metabolism is impaired in the brain of male type 2 diabetic Goto‐Kakizaki rats

Sakura Sophie Nussbaum, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares

Diabetes impacts the central nervous system predisposing to cognitive decline. While glucose is the main source of energy fueling the adult brain, brain glycogen is necessary for adequate neuronal function, synaptic plasticity and memory. In this study, we ...

Comparison of the structure of the plasma-facing surface and tritium accumulation in beryllium tiles from JET ILW campaigns 2011-2012 and 2013-2014

In this study, beryllium tiles from Joint European Torus (JET) vacuum vessel wall were analysed and compared regarding their position in the vacuum vessel and differences in the exploitation conditions during two campaigns of ITER-Like-Wall (ILW) in 2011-2 ...

Propagating transport-code input parameter uncertainties with deterministic sampling

A novel approach to uncertainty quantification in codes simulating fusion plasma, deterministic sampling (DS), is evaluated. This method uses a few carefully selected samples and can be used to propagate input parameter uncertainties through calculations w ...

Investigation into the formation of the scrape-off layer density shoulder in JET ITER-like wall L-mode and H-mode plasmas

The low temperature boundary layer plasma (scrape-off layer or SOL) between the hot core and the surrounding vessel determines the level of power loading, erosion and implantation of material surfaces, and thus the viability of tokamak-based fusion as an e ...

Testing of tritium breeder blanket activation foil spectrometer during JET operations

Accurate measurement of the nuclear environment within a test tritium breeding-blanket module of a fusion reactor is crucial to determine tritium production rates which are relevant to self-sufficiency of tritium fuel supply, tritium accountancy and also t ...

Light impurity transport in JET ILW L-mode plasmas

A series of experimental observations of light impurity profiles was carried out in JET (Joint European Torus) ITER-like wall (ILW) L-mode plasmas in order to investigate their transport mechanisms. These discharges feature the presence of He-3, Be, C, N, ...

Technical and experimental features of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of brain glycogen metabolism

Rolf Gruetter, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Hongxia Lei

In the brain, glycogen is a source of glucose not only in emergency situations but also during normal brain activity. Altered brain glycogen metabolism is associated with energetic dysregulation in pathological conditions, such as diabetes or epilepsy. Bot ...

Observations and modelling of ion cyclotron emission observed in JET plasmas using a sub-harmonic arc detection system during ion cyclotron resonance heating

Measurements are reported of electromagnetic emission close to the cyclotron frequency of energetic ions in JET plasmas heated by waves in the ion cylotron range of frequencies (ICRF). Hydrogen was the majority ion species in all of these plasmas. The meas ...

On the Use of Transfer Entropy to Investigate the Time Horizon of Causal Influences between Signals

Understanding the details of the correlation between time series is an essential step on the route to assessing the causal relation between systems. Traditional statistical indicators, such as the Pearson correlation coefficient and the mutual information, ...

Sub-millisecond electron density profile measurement at the JET tokamak with the fast lithium beam emission spectroscopy system

Diagnostic alkali atom (e.g., lithium) beams are routinely used to diagnose magnetically confined plasmas, namely, to measure the plasma electron density profile in the edge and the scrape off layer region. A light splitting optics system was installed int ...
