The v acuum magnetic field o f the H elio tron-E device [1, 2] is a high-shear 1 = 2 stellarator with a large average magnetic hill, a high rotat ional t ran s ­ fo rm at the p lasm a b o undary , and a p lanar magnetic axis. Previous ideal m agne tohyd ro ­ dynam ic (M H D ) stability com puta t ions o f freeb o u n d a ry m odes with low values o f the toroidal m ode n u m b e r n show that a...

With their strong confining porosity and versatile surface 2 chemistry, Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks-including the 3 prototypical ZIF-8-display exceptional properties for vari-4 ous applications. In particular, forced intrusion of water 5 at high pressure (∼ 25 MPa) into ZIF-8 nanopores is in-6 terest energy storage. Such a system reveals also ideal to 7 study experimentally dynamics thermod...

The e-world, also known as the Internet, has added a new dimension to many of the traditional concepts in industrial applications and everyday life. Many words encountered nowadays are pre xed by the letter \e" to re ect their close relation to the electronic world. Therefore, it was not surprising when researchers and businesses started developing \e-services", which are simply services provid...

This paper examines the nature of virtual teams and their place in the networked economy. It presents a framework for categorising virtual teams and argues that fundamental changes have taken place in the business environment which force people and organisations to operate in ‘two spaces’ simultaneously: the physical space and the electronic space. It highlights some of the issues of trust and ...

When a research infrastructure is funded and implemented, new informationand new publications are created. This new information is the measurableoutput of discovery process. In this paper, we describe the impact of infras-tructure for physics experiments in terms of publications and citations. Inparticular, we consider the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments (AT-LAS, CMS...

We study BFKL evolution and, in particular, the energy dependence of the saturation momentum in the presence of saturation boundaries limiting the region of linear BFKL evolution. In the case of fixed coupling evolution we confirm the previously found exponential term in Q s (Y) and determine the prefactor Y and α dependences. In the running coupling case we find Y 1/6 corrections to the Y 1/2 ...

With the digitization of society and the continuous migration of services to the electronic world, individuals have lost significant control over their data. In this paper, we consider the problem of protecting personal information according to privacy policies defined by the data subjects. More specifically, we propose a new primitive allowing a data subject to decide when, how, and by whom hi...

The TOPPERS Project is to develop a series of open source real-time operating systems (RTOS) for embedded systems. The TOPPERS/JSP Kernel, which is the first product of the project, was released two years ago and is started to be used in industries. A technological basis of the TOPPERS Project is the ITRON Specification, which is a de-facto standard real-time kernel specification widely applied...

Trends in the current business world towards decentralization, joint ventures and outsourcing of business functions are highlighting a need for new effective ways of sharing information and coordinating activities. One of the main tasks in an (Inter-) networked society is to support people in working together in an electronic world. The field of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) sets o...
