Motivated by the inadequacy of conducting atomistic simulations crack propagation using static boundary conditions that do not reflect movement tip, we extend Sinclair's flexible condition algorithm [J. E. Sinclair, Philos. Mag. 31, 647 (1975)] and propose a numerical-continuation-enhanced scheme, enabling full solution paths for cracks to be computed with pseudo-arclength continuation, present...

IR thermography is used to measure the heat flux footprints on C-Mod’s outer target in Imode and EDA H-mode plasmas. The footprint profiles are fit to a function with a simple physical interpretation. The fit parameter that is sensitive to the power decay length into the SOL, λSOL, is ~1-3x larger in I-modes than in H-modes at similar plasma current, which is the dominant dependence for the H-m...

this article is intended to provide an overview of various aspects of clinical pet/ct. these include discussions of: (i) important areas of clinical application; (ii) opportunities in clinical research; (iii) scanner and operating-mode considerations (e.g. bgo vs. lso, lyso or gso scanners, 2d vs. 3d imaging). (iv) study-specific considerations (e.g. patient preparation and positioning issues, ...

Context. Many well-known bright stars have been observed by the ongoing Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) space mission. For several of them, these new data reveal previously unobserved variability, such as tidally perturbed pulsations in close binary stars. Aims. Using newly detected gravity-mode (g-mode) V456 Cyg, we aim to determine global stellar properties this short-period ecli...
