ELM physics and ELM mitigation in ITER

Edge Localised Modes are characteristic of the high performance, H-mode plasmas that are required for the attainment of Q = 10/500MW fusion power in the first phase of ITER operation. The energy released by a type I ELM, in good confinement plasmas, is typically 510% of the plasma stored energy; with low collisionality plasmas at the upper end of the range. Dimensional analysis, experiment and ...

Summary of NIST Patriot Act Recommendations

1. One-to-One Matching (Verification) -NIST recommends one face and two index fingerprints for verification. All three biometrics should be in image form. The face image should conform to the ANSI/INCITS 385-2004 standard. The fingerprint images should conform to the ANSI/INCITS 381-2004 standard with 500 dots per inch (dpi) scan resolution. 2. One-to-Many Matching (Identification) -NIST recomm...

New elm hopes

those of Brazil and Congo, and their biological diversity is unique. But logging is putting the forest ecosystems under unprecedented pressure — between 1990 and 2005, Indonesia lost 28 million hectares of forest, most of it virgin forest. The government has banned the export of unprocessed logs from the country but timber is regularly smuggled out via Malaysia and Singapore for processing in o...
