Wall conditioning and tritium removal are discussed for ITER for standard glow discharge (GDC) which can operate only without toroidal magnetic field and for RF conditioning plasmas (ion cyclotron wall conditioning, ICWC) which can operate with the magnetic field on. ICWC plasmas have been produced in a wide range of parameters in TEXTOR using the conventional ICRF antennas and analyzed with re...

There is good evidence that, in general, autonomic conditioning in humans occurs only when subjects can verbalize the contingencies of conditioning. However, one form of conditioning, evaluative conditioning (EC), seems exceptional in that a growing body of evidence suggests that it can occur without conscious contingency awareness. As such, EC offers a unique insight into what role contingency...

Evaluative conditioning is best defined as an effect, that is, as a change in the valence of a stimulus that results from pairing the stimulus with another stimulus. This definition has several advantages that are made explicit in this paper. One of the advantages is that it clarifies that evaluative conditioning can be due to multiple processes. Therefore, the conditions under which evaluative...

The total power consumption of all semiconductor plants exceeds 100 million kWh per year, with about 43% of this consumption to operate air conditioning facilities. This high power consumption is due to the requirement of the cleanliness kept for clean rooms, with extremely high power consumed to the air transferring power. Oki developed the fan module unit (FMU) type air conditioning system to...

In 2 studies, the authors investigated whether evaluative conditioning (EC) is an associative phenomenon. Experiment 1 compared a standard EC paradigm with nonpaired and no-treatment control conditions. EC effects were obtained only when the conditioned stimulus (CS) and unconditioned stimulus (UCS) were rated as perceptually similar. However, similar EC effects were obtained in both control gr...
