The interplay between toroidal drift-wave turbulence and tokamak profiles is investigated using a wave-kinetic description. coupled system used to investigate the marginally stable geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs). found be unstable. Notably, most unstable mode corresponds resonance turbulent wave radial group velocity GAM phase velocity. For low-field-side ballooned growth, background flow shear...

Ab initio calculations at the G2 level were used in a theoretical description of the kinetics and mechanism of the hydrogen abstraction reactions from fluoro-, chloro- and bromomethane by chlorine atoms. The profiles of the potential energy surfaces show that mechanism of the reactions under investigation is complex and consists of two - in the case of CH3F+Cl - and of three elementary steps fo...

7 Abstract 8 A systematic investigation of the thermal decomposition of viscoelastic memory 9 foam (VMF) was performed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to obtain the 10 kinetic parameters, and thermogravimetric analysis coupled to Fourier Transformed 11 Infrared Spectrometry (TGA-FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis coupled to Mass 12 Spectrometry (TGA-MS) to obtain detailed information o...
