A major upgrade of the Tore Supra heat and particle exhaust capability, known as the CIEL project [P. Garin et al.,this conference] and installed during the year 2000 shutdown, will raise the heat exhaust capability to 25 MW (convected + radiated) steady-state, and the pumping capability to -4 Fa.m3/s, and will allow Tore Supra to investigate high power steady-state plasma operation, with targe...

ITER is planned to be the first fusion experimental reactor in the world operating for research in physics and engineering. The first 10 years’ operation will be devoted primarily to physics issues at low neutron fluence and the following 10 years’ operation to engineering testing at higher fluence. ITER can accommodate various plasma configurations and plasma operation modes such as inductive ...

We analyze the implementation of the time-reversal (TR) transformation in the algebraic approach to tetrahedral local molecules through the chain of groups U(5) ⊃ U(4) ⊃ K(4) = A(4) ∧ S(4) ⊃ S(4) ≈ Td. We determine the general form of the TR operation using a purely algebraic realization, based exclusively on the requirement that the irreducible representations must not be changed under the tim...

In recent years Scheie's operation (Scheie, I958) has been frequently performed because of its relatively simple technique. The results have been mainly satisfactory in bringing the intraocular pressure to normal in cases of glaucoma. Nevertheless filtration is not always well maintained, for various reasons: (i) Excessive scarring of the conjunctival flap causing closure of the limbal fistula....

To satisfy patients, fulfill demands of surgeons and operation theater staff and to proof a well-functioning operation theater an excellent management is needed. Operation theatre needs a great quantity of resources 4 to maintain a working function in any hospital . It’s always been a difficult and daring procedure, to improve the function and effectiveness of an operation theater in such a hos...

A pseudoknot is an intra-molecular structure formed primarily in RNA strands and much research has been done to predict efficiently pseudoknot structures in RNA. We define an operation that generates all pseudoknots from a given sequence and consider algorithmic and language theoretic properties of the operation. We give an efficient algorithm to decide whether a given string is a pseudoknot of...

We introduce a new mathematical tool for quantifying the symmetry contents of molecular structures: the Symmetry Operation Measures. In this approach, we measure the minimal distance between a given structure and the structure which is obtained after applying a selected symmetry operation on it. If the given operation is a true symmetry operation for the structure, this distance is zero; otherw...

INDICATIONS FOR AMPUTATION Malignant disease was the indication for amputation in all cases except one, when the operation was performed for extensive persistent osteomyelitis (Table I). Amputation through the pelvic girdle was necessary in all cases because of the position of the lesion and because it offered the only reasonable hope of saving or prolonging life; in some cases there existed th...

Understand the functions of the yield accounting system, the real-time database and the data historian, and how these systems can improve your plant's bottom line.
