Primary and secondary metallic PFC damage induced by runaway electron dissipation in FTU
Nuclear Materials and EnergyRunaway electron (RE) interaction with plasma-facing components (PFCs) has been documented to lead to deep volumetric melting and thermal shock driven material explosions followed by extensive wall cratering.

Impact cratering and the surface age of Venus: The Pre-Magellan controversy [PDF]
The average surface age of a planet is a major indicator of the level of its geologic activity and thus of the dynamics of its interior. Radar images obtained by Venera 15/16 from the northern quarter of the Venus (lat 30 to 90 degs) reveal about 150 ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Study on the high-speed penetration resistance of honeycomb tube surface constrained concrete
Baozha yu ChongjiTo investigate the penetration resistance of metal honeycomb tube-confined concrete structures under hypervelocity impact, penetration experiments were conducted using a two-stage light gas gun with projectile velocities near 1500 m/s. The material point

Absolute ages from crater statistics: Using radiometric ages of Martian samples for determining the Martian cratering chronology [PDF]
In the absence of dates derived from rock samples, impact crater frequencies are commonly used to date Martian surface units. All models for absolute dating rely on the lunar cratering chronology and on the validity of its extrapolation to Martian ...

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Normal high velocity solid dust impacts on tiles of tokamak-relevant temperature
Nuclear Materials and EnergyRunaway electron incidence on plasma facing components triggers explosive events that are accompanied by the expulsion of fast solid debris. Subsequent dust-wall high speed impacts constitute a mechanism of wall damage and dust destruction.

The role of impact cratering for Mars sample return [PDF]
The preserved cratering record of Mars indicates that impacts play an important role in deciphering Martian geologic history, whether as a mechanism to modify the lithosphere and atmosphere or as a tool to sample the planet.

Model predictive control for current balancing in a four-phase buck converter [PDF]
, 2016 Multiphase buck topology offers smaller ripple current and lower component ratings. This, however, compromises unbalanced output current between each phase of an inductor which leads to over-current and inductor saturation issues.
