The effects of the radial electric field E/sub r/ on the bootstrap current in ATF-type configurations are studied with the Drift Kinetic Equation Solver (DKES). It is found that there is a range of E/sub r/ values over which the bootstrap current does not depend on E/sub r/. The effects of E/sub...

Contrary to more advanced countries, Russia’s district heating hardly embraces radical innovations. Moving forward with breakthrough solutions, even if they have proven their effectiveness at leading European companies and are supported by federal and regional authorities, encounters...

This paper discusses structure, impact, costs, and efficiency of renewable energy supply in the eight largest advanced economies (the G-7 plus Spain), with focus on Germany. Renewables production costs are compared to benefits, defined as reductions in net carbon emissions; technological...

Cet article porte sur la dynamique sectorielle des nouvelles technologies de désalcoolisation des vins. Il aborde la compétition entre nouvelles technologies génériques ayant un objectif appliqué au sein d’un secteur industriel, s’ajoutant à la substitution entre ancienne et nouvelle...

The Taylor vortex flow in the plain model with a constant temperature gradient effect was studied by experimental measurement, and the preliminary features of Taylor vortex flow affected by heat transfer process were obtained. This flow field in the plain model was also studied by numerical...

The correct estimation of building energy consumptions is assuming an always increasing importance, and a detailed reproduction of building structures, with all the single components involved, is necessary to achieve this aim. In addition, the current ecological development tries to limit the...
