Optimal feedback control of resistive-wall modes (RWM) is of common interest for toroidal fusion concepts that use conducting walls for stabilization of ideal MHD modes. From the RWM control point of view, the RFP situation is in many respects similar to the advanced tokamak situation in the presence of very low plasma rotation, where the most effective stabilizing mechanism is the feedback act...

We study the problem of sampling high and infinite dimensional target measures arising in applications such as conditioned diffusions and inverse problems. We focus on those that arise from approximating measures on Hilbert spaces defined via a density with respect to a Gaussian reference measure. We consider the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm that adds an accept– reject mechanism to a Markov ch...

© 2013 ETRI Journal, Volume 35, Number 3, June 2013 In this paper, the radius weight mean (RWM) and the feature-embedding technique are used to present a novel watermarking scheme for color images. Simulations validate that the stego-images generated by the proposed scheme are robust against most common image-processing operations, such as compression, color quantization, bit truncation, noise ...

In this Letter, the linear stability of the resistive wall modes (RWMs) in toroidal geometry for a reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma is studied. Three computational models are used: the cylindrical code ETAW, the toroidal MHD code MARS-F, and the CarMa code, able to take fully into account the effects of a three-dimensional conducting structure which mimics the real shell geometry of a reversed...

The study was carried out at community scale watershed in one of the fragile ecologies Central India. This paper quantifies impact rainwater management (RWM) interventions on major water balance components, irrigation use, crop intensification and energy consumption their interrelationships. RWM harvested additional 35 mm surface runoff various masonry structures facilitated groundwater recharg...

Abstract We look at adaptive MCMC algorithms that generate stochastic processes based on sequences of transition kernels, where each transition kernel is allowed to depend on the past of the process. We show under certain conditions that the generated stochastic process is ergodic, with appropriate stationary distribution. We then consider the Random Walk Metropolis (RWM) algorithm with normal ...

UNLABELLED Gated blood-pool SPECT (GBPS), inherently 3-dimensional (3D), has the potential to replace planar equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA) for computation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), analysis of regional wall motion (RWM), and analysis of right heart function. The purpose of this study was to compare GBPS and ERNA for the assessment of ventricular function in a l...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the pattern of coronary blood flow velocity immediately after successful primary stenting and the recovery of left ventricular (LV) wall motion in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND It is difficult to predict the recovery of LV wall motion immediately after direct angioplasty in AMI. Recent r...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated the relationship between alterations in coronary flow velocity during the acute phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the recovery of left ventricular wall motion in patients who underwent successful primary angioplasty. BACKGROUND The status of the coronary microcirculation is the major determinant of the prognosis of patients who have had successful reperfus...
