Quantitative comparison of impurity transport in turbulence reduced and enhanced scenarios at Wendelstein 7-X

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
We assess the turbulent particle transport being responsible for the limitation of the confinement and, thus, the overall performance of the neoclassically optimized stellarator Wendelstein 7-X.

Lagrangian formulation of neoclassical transport theory [PDF]

The Physics of Fluids, 1983
Neoclassical transport theory is developed in a Lagrangian formulation in contrast to the usual Eulerian development. The Lagrangian formulation is constructed from the three actions: magnetic moment, parallel invariant, and bounce-averaged poloidal flux.

Carbon dioxide emissions and vulnerability to climate change in Africa: How public goods moderate policy syndromes

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and climate vulnerability are major concerns affecting sustainable development in Africa. This study assesses how the provision of public goods moderates the effects of policy syndromes on CO2 emissions and vulnerability to climate change in the continent.

Effect of finite beta on neoclassical transport characteristics in CFQS quasi-axisymmetric stellarator

Journal of Physics Communications
CFQS is the world’s first modular-coil-type quasi-axisymmetric stellarator, which is currently under construction. This study systematically investigates the effect of finite beta (volume-averaged beta, 〈 β 〉) on the neoclassical transport ...

Does Economic Growth Drive Equitable Water and Sanitation Access? Assessing Inequality Reduction Across 64 Nations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

The Role of Global Political Economy in Community‐Based Adaptation to Climate Change—Practitioners' Experience and Opinions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Community‐based adaptation scholars and practitioners acknowledge that power asymmetries pose significant barriers to project impact. Nevertheless, there is little research on the role of the global political economy as the root cause of vulnerability.

Investor Heterogeneity, Sustainable Board Governance, and Corporate Social Responsibility Performance: Empirical Evidence From Europe

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study applies an agency‐theoretical lens to examine how investor heterogeneity, specifically institutional, foreign, and domestic ownership, influences corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. Drawing on extensions of classical agency theory that account for heterogeneous shareholder preferences and principal‐principal conflicts,

Examination of Afghanistan's Development Traps

Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract We examine the factors behind Afghanistan's persistent underdevelopment. Drawing on various theories of development traps operating at the demographic, economic and institutional levels, we seek to assess whether and to what extent their functioning affects Afghanistan's development. To capture the functioning of development traps empirically,

Investigation of RMP effects on W transport in the pedestal region in an ITER 15 MA H-mode scenario, using the nonlinear MHD code JOREK

Nuclear Fusion
Heavy impurities, such as tungsten (W) accumulating in the confined plasma core of tokamaks are detrimental to their performance and can lead to plasma disruptions due to radiative collapses.
