OAK-B135 The authors have initiated an experimental program to address some of the questions associated with operation of a tokamak with high bootstrap current fraction under high performance conditions, without assistance from a transformer. In these discharges they have maintained stationary...

This is a seminar based on research literature. Papers covered are selected to illustrate important problems and approaches in the field of computational and systems biology, and provide students a framework from which to evaluate new developments. The MIT Initiative in Computational and Systems...

Using a one parameter free energy model for surfactants, we numerically study the effects of hydrodynamics in the microemulsion and lamellar phases. Our results show that the dynamical correlation function has temporal oscillations for a range of hydrodynamical coupling strengths in the...

We consider an initial stage of the origination of droplike aggregates in a ferrocolloid made metastable by a strengthening of an external magnetic field, when emerging nuclei are still not large enough to affect ferrocolloid properties appreciably. Expressions for the growth rate of a...

We study the evolution of a system of drop-like aggregates suspended in a macroscopically homogeneous magnetic fluid made metastable by strengthening of an external magnetic field with account of both the reduction in metastability and the continuing initiation of new nuclei in the metastable...

In this study, a generalized method based upon nonextensive statistics is presented for nucleation and growth processes in a thin layer between two interfaces. It is shown that the presented mathematical model, which uses an index called the entropic index that measures the nonextensivity of the...
