The toroidal rotation of H-mode plasmas in ASDEX Upgrade is studied in the outermost 5 cm of the confined plasma. The projection of the rotation velocity along the line of sight (approximately toroidal) is measured using charge exchange recombination spectroscopy, with a radial resolution of up to 3 mm and a temporal resolution of 1.9 ms. At about 1 cm inside the separatrix the rotation exhibit...

It has been shown that in H-mode regimes, reflectometry electron density profiles and an estimate for the density at the separatrix can be jointly used to track the separatrix within the precision required for plasma position control on ITER. We present a method to automatically remove, from the position estimation procedure, measurements performed during collapse and recovery phases of edge lo...

We present here an automated classification scheme which is particularly well suited to scenarios where the parameters have significant uncertainties or are stochastic quantities. To this end, the parameters are modeled with probability distributions in a metric space and classification is conducted using the notion of nearest neighbors. The presented framework is then applied to the classifica...

introduction: menopause is associated with complications that can affect women's attitudes. women's attitudes toward menopause can help to improve their performance and reduce the severity of its complications. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of glycyrrhiza glabra (g. glabra) plant and exercise on the attitude of menopausal women. materials and methods: this clinical ...

Alcohol-induced hepatic steatosis and inflammation are key drivers of alcohol-induced liver injury, mainly caused by oxidative stress. The roots bark of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica is well known for its substantial antioxidative and antitumorigenic potency. In this study, we examined whether this plant can ameliorate alcohol-induced liver injuries characterized by hepatic steatosis and inflam...

objectives: oral infections and dental caries are still considered as serious public health problems and inflict a costly burden to health care services around the world and especially in developing countries. materials and methods: in the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of glycyrrhiza glabra (g. glabra) against oral pathogens by diffusion methods and determined the minim...

This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of methanolic extract and different fractions (nbutanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-hexane) of Glycyrrhiza glabra root. The antimicrobial activity was determined by the disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against a panel of microorganisms (four bacterial strains, i.e P. multocida, E. coli, B. sub...
