MODELING OF ICRH SLOW WAVE PROPAGATION AND ABSORPTION IN WENDELSTEIN 7-X STELLARATOR

The propagation and absorption of slow waves in the plasma of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator was investigated by the ray tracing. The aim of the work was to obtain a qualitative picture of the penetration into the plasma of a wave excited by the potential difference between the antenna conductors and the antenna box. For this, a ray code was used, which performs calculations in the magnetic configuration of the stellarator obtained by the VMEC code. A strong influence of the type of magnetic configuration (“higher mirror”, “lower mirror”, or standard configuration) on the propagation and absorption of a slow wave was found.

Computer modeling of the process of soil sealing under the pipeline

In the article, using computer simulation in Ansys environment, the working process of replacement equipment of a single-bucket excavator for soil compaction under the pipeline is investigated and the influence of working equipment parameters on the qualitative picture of soil compaction process and change of stress-strain state of main pipeline and soil is evaluated.

Механизм формирования критического тока высокотемпературных сверхпроводников, содержащих сквозные микроскопические дефекты

The critical current of a model high-temperature superconductor (HTSC) with defects in the form of through holes (antidots) with a characteristic size greater than or of the order of the penetration depth of the magnetic field is calculated. To do this, the subprocesses equivalent to the trapping of the magnetic flux by the hole and the creation of a vortex at the edge of the hole are introduced into the model of layered HTSC. It is shown that accounting for these subprocesses leads to the appearance of a physical mechanism that allows us to correctly describe the non-monotonic dependence of the critical current on the characteristic size of the antidot, similar to that observed in the experiment. Calculations were performed for a pure superconductor and a superconductor containing nanoscale pinning centers. It is shown that the presence of nanoscale pinning centers along with antipoints does not change the qualitative picture of the influence of the antidot radius on the pinning character of the magnetic flux and the behavior of the critical current in the HTSC.

Quantum corrections to AdS black hole in massive gravity

In this paper, we investigate the effect of quantum corrections on the thermodynamics of AdS black hole in massive gravity. We compute the leading order corrections to the entropy of AdS black hole and then plot the entropy as a function of event horizon radius so as to have a comparative analysis between the corrected and the uncorrected entropy densities. Furthermore, we also evaluate the first-order leading corrections to other thermodynamic quantities like free energy, internal energy, pressure, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy and later plot these quantities against event horizon radius for different values of correction parameter in order to have a qualitative picture of the effect that quantum corrections lead to the thermodynamics of massive AdS black hole.

Two-body problem in presence of cosmological constant

We consider the Kepler two-body problem in presence of the cosmological constant [Formula: see text]. Contrary to the classical case, where finite solutions exist for any angular momentum of the system [Formula: see text], in presence of [Formula: see text] finite solutions exist only in the interval [Formula: see text]. The qualitative picture of the two-body motion is described, and critical parameters of the problem are found. Application is made to the relative motion of the Local Group and Virgo cluster.

FMTVDM Quantitative Imaging Replaces Current Qualitative Imaging for Coronary Artery Disease and Cancer, Increasing Diagnostic Accuracy and Providing PatientSpecific, Patient-Directed Treatment

The time for practicing medicine by merely looking at a qualitative picture of someone’s heart, chest or mammogram, or by taking a patients blood sample to measure cholesterol or inflammation levels and then letting the Doctor decide if they think you have heart disease or cancer, has ended. So too has the period of time for treating someone merely based upon mammography (x-rays), CT, MRI, PET, SPECT/planar imaging or any other test that requires your physician to qualitatively interpret what they think they see, and then decide you do or don’t have a medical problem.

Reliability of HF/IQA, B3LYP/IQA, and MP2/IQA data in interpreting the nature and strength of interactions

Using CCSD/BBC1/IQA as a reference to describe interactions in glycol conformers, including O4⋯H6 and O3⋯O4 interactions, B3LYP/IQA data produced an exact qualitative picture and exceptionally reliable IQA energy changes, resulting in a perfectly comparable FAMSEC-based quantitative interpretation.

Control of mechatronic drives considering the type and number of the nonlinearities of a mechanical converter

In this article the particularities of the dynamics study of mechatronic drives that operate at low velocities are discussed; the origins of frictional self-exited oscillations to develop an algorithm for non-linearity correction are analyzed; a drive mathematical model and the qualitative picture of the self-exited oscillations regimes were presented for the three cases: a "system with clearance and friction-free"; a system without clearance with "dry friction" and a system with clearance and "dry friction". Therefore, an algorithm to compensate the frictional self-excited oscillations based on the feedback introduction for the sliding velocity of the linear motion output link was proposed.
