During the current rise phase of the Alcator A discharge a series of disruptions occurs, related to MHD activity of poloidal periodicity m, at limiter q values approximately 1.6 m (m integral). The electron temperature profile is peaked at the-center throughout. It is shown, however, that current diffusion with the experimental T profiles typically leads to hollow current profiles and that the ...

The increase of complexity and dynamics leads to new challenges in transport logistics networks. Current routing algorithms of central control are pushed to their limits in handling these new challenges. This leads to the development of an autonomously controlled routing protocol, the Distributed Logistics Routing Protocol (DLRP), which allows a better handling of the new requirements. Within t...
