P19: Long-Term Potentiation

The term synaptic plasticity points to a series of persistent changes related to the activity of synapses. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a reflection of synaptic plasticity that has an important role in learning and memory. LTP is a long-lasting increase of synaptic activity due to enhancement of excitatory synaptic transmission after a high-frequency train of electrical stimulations. Differe...

JET contributions to ITER technology issues

The Joint European Torus (JET) fusion machine is the only device capable of operation with tritium and of handling Be and therefore is best suited to the study of tritium and fusion-related issues. A large variety of activities are performed within the JET fusion technology task force (FT-TF). In this paper, some topics such as erosion/deposition and material transport, characterisation of flak...

ITER first wall fabrication technology in China

China has done R&Ds on the fabrication technology for ITER first wall (FW). The FW materials, such as the vacuum-hot-pressing (VHP) Be and ITER-grade CuCrZr alloys, have been developed in China. The Be plate showed good physical and mechanical properties, similar to S65C. The effect of fabrication process on mechanical strength of CuCrZr alloy was studied. Several FW qualification (FWQ) mock-up...

Validation of the Landsat 7 Long-term Acquisition Plan

The launch of Landsat 7 on April 15, 1999 ushered in a new era of managing global survey missions. For the first time (for Landsat or any similar mission) an automated Long-Term Acquisition Plan (LTAP) was employed to populate the US Archive at the USGS EROS Data Center. The automated LTAP system was designed to globally collect sunlit, essentially cloud-free, and seasonally refreshed Landsat a...
