Tokamak plasmas become less tolerant to externally applied non-axisymmetric magnetic “error” fields as beta increases, due to a resonant interaction of the non-axisymmetric field with a stable € n =1 kink mode. Similar to observations in low beta plasmas, the limit to tolerable € n =1 magnetic field errors in neutral beam injection heated H-mode plasmas is seen as a bifurcation in the torque ba...

Thus far, KIC 7760680 is the richest slowly pulsating B star, exhibiting 36 consecutive dipole (l = 1) gravity (g-) modes. The monotonically decreasing period spacing of the series, in addition to the local dips in the pattern, confirm that KIC 7760680 is a moderate rotator with clear mode trapping in chemically inhomogeneous layers. We employ the traditional approximation of rotation to incorp...

CORDIC (COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer) is an algorithm for performing a sequence of iteration computation using the coordinate rotation. It can generate some powerful elementary function only realized by a simple set of adder and shifter. As such, it is suitable to implement high performance chips, which are applied in digital signal processing and image processing fields with high speed...

the present paper is devoted to a new critical state based plasticity model able to predict drained and undrained behaviour of granular material. it incorporates a bounding surface plasticity model describing in multilaminate framework to capitalize on advantages of this mathematical framework. most of the models developed using stress/strain invariants are not capable of identifying the parame...
