A drift ordered short mean free path description for magnetized plasma allowing strong spatial anisotropy

Fluid description of relativistic, magnetized plasma

Many astrophysical plasmas and some laboratory plasmas are relativistic: either the thermal speed or the local ow speed (in a convenient frame) approaches the speed of light. Many such plasmas are also magnetized, in the sense that the thermal Larmor radius is smaller than gradient scale lengths. Relativistic MHD, conventionally used to describe such systems, requires the collision time to be s...

Drift-free multiple description coding of video

In this paper, a novel framework for multiple description coding of video is presented. The proposed scheme is based on an efficient methodology for the generation of multiple descriptions which eliminates drift at the decoder. An arbitrary number of descriptions can be obtained from the same original video sequence. Experimental results for the transmission of video using two descriptions demo...

When epitaxy meets plasma: a path to ordered nanosheets arrays

The possibility of a controlled assembly of 2-dimensional (2D) nanosheets (NSs) into ordered arrays or even more sophisticated structures offers tremendous opportunities in the context of fabrication of a variety of NSs based devices. Reports of such ordered NSs are rare and all conventional "top-down" methods typically led to coarse structures exhibiting only limited surface quality. In this w...
