Ozone generation in gas flow enhanced hollow needle to plate electrical discharge in air

The results of studies of ozone production for DC electrical discharge in air at atmospheric pressure with a single hollow needle to plate electrode configuration enhanced by the flow of air through the needle for both polarities of the needle, different airflow rates and currents are given in this paper.     

Dimension Gaps between Representability and Collapsibility

A simplicial complex K\mathsf{K} is called d -representable if it is the nerve of a collection of convex sets in ℝ ^d ; K\mathsf{K} is d -collapsible if it can be reduced to an empty complex by repeatedly removing a face of dimension at most d−1 that is contained in a unique maximal face; and K\mathsf{K} is d -Leray if every induced subcomplex of K\mathsf{K} has vanishing homology of dimension d and larger. It is known that d-representable implies d-collapsible implies d-Leray, and no two of these notions coincide for d≥2. The famous Helly theorem and other important results in discrete geometry can be regarded as results about d-representable complexes, and in many of these results, “d-representable” in the assumption can be replaced by “d-collapsible” or even “d-Leray.”

Monadic <Emphasis Type="Italic">GMV</Emphasis>-algebras

Monadic MV-algebras are an algebraic model of the predicate calculus of the Łukasiewicz infinite valued logic in which only a single individual variable occurs. GMV-algebras are a non-commutative generalization of MV-algebras and are an algebraic counterpart of the non-commutative Łukasiewicz infinite valued logic. We introduce monadic GMV-algebras and describe their connections to certain couples of GMV-algebras and to left adjoint mappings of canonical embeddings of GMV-algebras. Furthermore, functional MGMV-algebras are studied and polyadic GMV-algebras are introduced and discussed. The first author was supported by the Council of Czech Government, MSM 6198959214.

Measurement of safety factor using Hall probes on CASTOR tokamak

Hall sensors offer an attractive true non-inductive method of magnetic field measurements for fusion devices. However, there is only limited experience in using of these sensors in such demanding environment (high heat loads, radiation, and electromagnetic noise). Recently, a combined magnetic probe was developed for CASTOR tokamak, which contains 3 Hall sensors and 3 coils arranged to measure all three components of magnetic field approximately in a single point of space. The probe is compatible with in-vessel use well in confinement region of CASTOR. It is fully controlled by multi-functional electronic system that drives the Hall probes, amplifies their output signals, performs the A/D conversion and stores the measured data on PC. The bandwidth of the system is up to 200 kHz. Design of the system and its implementation on CASTOR is reviewed. Results obtained using this diagnostic on CASTOR tokamak is presented. Radial profile of the poloidal magnetic field is used to deduce radial profile of safety factor.
