BackgroundIn recent years, electron cyclotron wave (copyright) heating and current drive (ECCD) have been widely used in tokamak discharge experiments.The inevitable presence of impurity particles in the tokamak plasma affects the ECCD through radiation energy, inhibition of turbulent transport, and change the collision rate.Changes in plasma densi
Geophagia is a feeding behavior involving the regular intake of soil, including clay-like kaolin.Frequent in Africa, kaolin consumption is associated with heavy metal intoxication, iron and other micronutrient deficiencies, geohelminth infection and inactivation of concomitantly taken drugs.It is expected that this practice would be imported into a
This work describes a new testing system for applying a coupled/uncoupled bendingtorsion loading in vibratory tests by a tri-axis shaker.The system is composed of a cylindrical specimen with eccentric tip masses, excited by horizontal and/or vertical base accelerations.The specimen tip is constrained by a lateral thin and flexible plate which imped
