Fast ions in W7-X will be produced either by neutral beam injection (NBI) or by ion-cyclotron resonant heating (ICRH). The latter presents the advantage of depositing power locally and does not suffer from core accessibility issues (Drevlak et al 2014 Nucl. Fusion 54 073002). This work assesses the possibility of using ICRH as a fast ion source in W7-X relevant conditions. The SCENIC package is...

Tryptophyl glycine (TrpGly) and glycyl tryptophan (GlyTrp) dipeptides at pH 5.5 and pH 9.3 show a pattern of fluorescence emission shifts with the TrpGly zwitterion emission solely blue shifted. This pattern is matched by shifts in the UV resonance Raman (UVRR) W10 band position and the W7 Fermi doublet band ratio. Ab initio calculations show that the 1340 cm(-1) band of the W7 doublet is compo...

Face recognition is important in human identification. The biological recognition technique acts as a good method and broad applications in security areas. This work presents a method to improve the face recognition accuracy using a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Wavelet Transform. Wavelet Transform is used to decompose the input image with different levels and rearrange...

Abstract Intrinsic, diffusion-driven toroidal (bootstrap) currents between ?7 and 17 kA were measured in the optimised stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) for several magnetic configurations at line-integrated plasma densities 2 × 10 19 1.6 20 m ?2 heating powers 0.5 6 MW. The sign of bootstrap current changes with field reversal, its magnitude decreases mirror term rotational transform configur...

W7-AS has recently been equipped with ten open divertor modules in order to experimentally evaluate this exhaust concept in view of future application to W7-X. The new divertor enables access to a new NBl-heated, very high density (up to n" = 3.5x1020 m-3) operating regime with promising confinement properties. The energy confinement time increases steeply with density. In contrast, the particl...

Several well characterized murine T-lymphoma cell lines were used in somatic cell hybridization experiments to study the genetic regulation of glucocorticoid-induced lysis. Cell fusions were carried out among the SL12-derived cloned lines and between the W7 and SAK8 lines all of which have functional hormone receptors. These cell lines differ in their sensitivity to glucocorticoid-induced lysis...

Senescence is the last developmental process in plant, which has an important impact on crop yield and quality. In this study, a stable hereditary early-senescence line BC64 was isolated from high-generation recombinant inbred lines of 93-11 Wuyunjing7 (W7). Genetic analysis showed that premature aging phenotype controlled by dominant gene derived 93-11. By linkage analysis, primarily mapped re...

صخلملا Infertility affects 15% of couples seeking children worldwide and male factor is evident in about 30-50% of the cases. To assess the effect of sperm chromatin integrity on the outcomes of intracytoplasmic injection, sperm DNA compactness was evaluated by acridine orange staining in 40 fertile and 44 infertile men attending one infertility clinic. The results showed no significant differe...
