The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) [Ono, M., et al., Nucl. Fusion, 44, (2004), 452.] is targeting long pulse high performance, non-inductive sustained operations at low aspect ratio, and the demonstration of non-solenoidal startup and current rampup. The modeling of these plasmas provides a framework for experimental planning and identifies the tools to access these regimes. Simulat...

this study is a typological description of written formative feedback in an efl context in iran. twenty m.a. students of tefl participated in the study. they were required to summarize a scholarly article in each session on which the instructor would provide written corrective feedback (cf). written formative comments were extracted, coded, and categorized into various types, such as asking for...

In this paper, a different topology for ultra-low voltage oscillators is presented. It is based on a classical common-gate Colpitts Oscillator, but with additional positive feedback provided by an inductive gate degeneration. This increase in the positive feedback decreases the required transconductance in order to start-up the circuit, which is used here to reduce the minimum supply voltage. T...

Purpose: Considering the importance of aesthetic education in students, the purpose of this study was the aesthetic education of elementary school students: analysis of dimensions and components with a qualitative approach. Methodology: This research in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was qualitative from type of exploratory inductive. The research population...

In recent years, medium-voltage variable-speed drives have become popular in the industry. However, some applications, use of long cables can lead to overvoltages at motor terminals, affecting lifespan. Under such conditions, passive filters is recommended. inductive capacitive (LC) results resonances, leading control stability issues. This issue be mitigated by introducing a resonance damping ...

In this study, the authors examined juvenile offender experiences in Project Tech, a research-based educational pilot program to teach socially responsible serious game development at a major Midwest university’s Games Lab. Using open-ended interviews, learner feedback surveys, and learner journaling during the program, the researchers examined two questions pertaining to: (a) learner motivatio...

We present a sound and automated approach to synthesize safe digital feedback controllers for physical plants represented as linear, time invariant models. Models are given as dynamical equations with inputs, evolving over a continuous state space and accounting for errors due to the digitalization of signals by the controller. Our approach has two stages, leveraging counterexample guided induc...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to propose a method that will generate a causal explanation of observed events in an uncertain world and then make decisions based on that explanation. Feedback can cause the explanation and decisions to be modified. I call the method Theory-Based Inductive Learning (T-BIL). T-BIL integrates deductive learning, based on a technique called Explanation-Bas...
