Overview of progress in European medium sized tokamaks towards an integrated plasma-edge/wall solution

- Integrating the plasma core performance with an edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) that leads to tolerable heat and particle loads on the wall is a major challenge. The new European medium size tokamak task force (EU-MST) coordinates research on ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), MAST and TCV. This multi-machine approach within EU-MST, covering a wide parameter range, is instrumental to progress in the field, as ITER and DEMO core/pedestal and SOL parameters are not achievable simultaneously in present day devices. A two prong approach is adopted. On the one hand, scenarios with tolerable transient heat and particle loads, including active edge localised mode (ELM) control are developed. On the other hand, divertor solutions including advanced magnetic configurations are studied. Considerable progress has been made on both approaches, in particular in the fields of: ELM control with resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP), small ELM regimes, detachment onset and control, as well as filamentary scrape-off-layer transport. For example full ELM suppression has now been achieved on AUG at low collisionality with n = 2 RMP maintaining good confinement H-H(98,H-y2) approximate to 0.95. Advances have been made with respect to detachment onset and control. Studies in advanced divertor configurations (Snowflake, Super-X and X-point target divertor) shed new light on SOL physics. Cross field filamentary transport has been characterised in a wide parameter regime on AUG, MAST and TCV progressing the theoretical and experimental understanding crucial for predicting first wall loads in ITER and DEMO. Conditions in the SOL also play a crucial role for ELM stability and access to small ELM regimes.

An outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection in southern Sweden associated with consumption of fermented sausage; aspects of sausage production that increase the risk of contamination.
- 2008

In: Epidemiology and Infection. - 0950-2688. ; 136:3, s. 370-380
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A large outbreak of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections occured in southern Sweden during autumn 2002. A matched case-control study was performed and indicated an association between consumption of fermented sausage and EHEC infection (odds ratio 5.4, P<0.002). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis identified a strain of E. coli O157:H7 in clinical faecal isolates which was identical to a strain isolated from sausage samples obtained from households of infected individuals. A combination of microbiological and epidemiological results established a link between sausage consumption and the outbreak in 30 out of a total of 39 investigated cases. Contaminated beef was suspected to be the source of infection. Delayed start of fermentation, lack of heat-treatment and a short curing period in cold temperature were identified as the main factors enabling EHEC survival. EHEC can survive thorughout the entire production process of fermented sausage if curing conditions are inadequate.

SAMPA Chip : The New 32 Channels ASIC for the ALICE TPC and MCH Upgrades
- 2017
-
In: Journal of Instrumentation. - 1748-0221. ; 12:4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents the test results of the second prototype of SAMPA, the ASIC designed for the upgrade of read-out front end electronics of the ALICE Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and Muon Chamber (MCH). SAMPA is made in a 130 nm CMOS technology with 1.25 V nominal voltage supply and provides 32 channels, with selectable input polarity, and three possible combinations of shaping time and sensitivity. Each channel consists of a Charge Sensitive Amplifier, a semi-Gaussian shaper and a 10-bit ADC; a Digital Signal Processor provides digital filtering and compression capability. In the second prototype run both full chip and single test blocks were fabricated, allowing block characterization and full system behaviour studies. Experimental results are here presented showing agreement with requirements for both the blocks and the full chip.

Efficacy and tolerance of a 12-week treatment with inhaled formoterol in patients with reversible obstructive lung disease
- 1994
-
In: Respiration. - 1423-0356. ; 61:6, s. 305-309
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Formoterol, a new beta 2-agonist, and salbutamol were given as aerosols twice and four times daily, respectively, to patients with reversible obstructive lung disease. The study was controlled and double blind, and continued for 12 weeks. Ninety-nine patients from five study centers were included and 89 patients could be properly evaluated. The formoterol-treated patients used significantly less rescue medicine (salbutamol aerosol) and had higher morning PEF values. For the other efficacy variables (daytime FEV1.0, evening PEF, patient and investigator global evaluations, night sleeping time) and tolerance (side effects noted by patients, blood and urine laboratory values, ECG, patient and investigator global evaluation), there were no significant differences between the formoterol- and the salbutamol-treated groups.
