Abstract We have investigated the waveform distortion of energetic particle driven off-axis fishbone mode (OFM) in tokamak plasmas with kinetic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) hybrid simulations. extended our previous simulations (Li et al 2022 Nucl. Fusion 62 026013) by considering higher-n harmonics MHD fluid, where n is toroidal number. The successfully reproduced simulation for both magnetic fluc...

introduction prediction of thunderstorm is one of the most difficult issues in weather forecasting. deep convective clouds develop at small spatial and temporal dimensions about 1-10 km and 1-12 h. various thermodynamic parameters have been discovered over the past 40 years, according to data obtained by radiosounds. the capability of these indices in forecasting instability varies over time an...

Parametrically driven oscillators can display period tripling in response to a drive at thrice the resonance frequency. In contrast parametric instability for doubling, symmetric fixed point corresponding state of rest remains stable arbitrary strong driving transition. Previously, it has been shown that fluctuations circumvent this and induce period-tripling instability. article, we explore an...

In order to describe foot function during the first weeks of independent walking, spatio-temporal pressure distribution patterns were measured. These data give detailed information about roll-off of the foot, by determining the course of the center of pressure, and about load bearing, by calculating relative vertical impulses under the feet. During those first weeks of independent walking, roll...

We propose an approach that permits to avoid instability phenomena for the nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We show that by approximating the solution in a suitable way, relying on a frequency cut-off, global well-posedness is obtained in any Sobolev space with nonnegative regularity. The error between the exact solution and its approximation can be measured according to the regularity of the e...

Purpose Patellofemoral instability is a common cause of anterior knee pain in adolescents and young adults. Most normal and pathological values for diagnosing patellofemoral instability are based on Western literature. We conducted this radiological study to determine normal values for different patellofemoral parameters in a Korean population and to evaluate their usefulness in diagnosis. Ma...

in the open-pit mining, one of the first decisions that must be made in production planning stage, after completing the design of final pit limits, is determining of the processing plant cut-off grade. since this grade has an essential effect on operations, choosing the optimum cut-off grade is of considerable importance. different goals may be used for determining optimum cut-off grade. one of...

We propose a model to show that under off-normal bombardment of an incident ion beam, a solid surface may spontaneously form nanoscale dots lining up into chains perpendicular to the incident beam direction. These dots demonstrate a highly ordered hexagonal pattern. We attribute the self-organization behavior to surface instability under concurrent surface kinetics and to a shadow effect that c...

In the minimal Standard Model, it is commonly believed that the Higgs mass cannot be too small, otherwise Top quark dynamics makes the Higgs potential unstable. Although this Higgs mass lower bound is relevant for current phenomenology, we show that the Higgs vacuum instability in fact does not exist and only appears when treating incorrectly the cut-off in the renormalization of a trivial theo...
