  2. 1. Collisional transport in edge transport barriers and stellarators

    Author : Stefan Buller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion; tokamak; plasma physics; stellarator; impurity transport; collisional transport; transport; pedestal;

    Abstract : Nuclear fusion has the potential to generate abundant and clean energy. In magnetic confinement fusion, the temperatures needed to achieve fusion are obtained by confining a hot plasma with magnetic fields. READ MORE

  4. 2. Simulation Studies of Impact of Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platoons on Road Traffic and Fuel Consumption

    Author : Ingrid Johansson; Xiaoliang Ma; Wilco Burghout; Henrik Pettersson; Xiaobo Qu; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy-duty vehicle platooning; microscopic traffic simulation; intelligent transport systems; optimal control; longitudinal cruise control; fuel economy; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : The demand for road freight transport continues to grow with the growing economy, resulting in increased fossil fuel consumption and emissions. At the same time, the fossil fuel use needs to decrease substantially to counteract the ongoing global warming. READ MORE

  5. 3. Heavy-ion transport codes for radiotherapy and radioprotection in space

    Author : Davide Mancusi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; charge-changing cross sections; transport codes; radiotherapy; Monte-Carlo codes; heavy ions; radioprotection in space;

    Abstract : Simulation of the transport of heavy ions in matter is a field of nuclear science that has recently received attention in view of its importance for some relevant applications. Accelerated heavy ions can, for example, be used to treat cancers (heavy-ion radiotherapy) and show some superior qualities with respect to more conventional treatment systems, like photons (x-rays) or protons.
