The ability of a virus to spread between individuals, its replication capacity and the clinical course infection are macroscopic consequences multifaceted molecular interaction viral components with host cell. heavy impact COVID-19 on world population, economics sanitary systems calls for therapeutic prophylactic solutions that require deep characterization interactions occurring cells. Unveiling how SARS-CoV-2 engages factors throughout life cycle is therefore fundamental understand...
Challenges concerning the automation of modal identification and tracking procedures in permanent monitoring systems for Structural Health Monitoring purposes are discussed. In this context, an automated procedure based on parametric methods that involve interpretation stabilization diagrams is proposed. The methodology comprehends two key points: (i) automatic analysis diagrams, performed through a first check reasonable damping ratio, subsequent complexity final clustering structural...
Abstract Recent progress in radar techniques and systems has led to the development of a microwave interferometer, potentially suitable for non-contact vibration monitoring civil engineering structures. The main characteristic new system, named IBIS-S, is possibility simultaneously measuring (static or dynamic) displacement at several points structure with high sensitivity. paper first describes technical characteristics interferometer results laboratory tests carried out evaluate actual...
A wide program of structural assessment has been carried out by Politecnico di Milano on the historic bell tower church Chiesa Collegiata in Arcisate (Varese, northern Italy). Within this context, first part article summarizes results obtained from application stochastic subspace identification method to ambient response data collected two dynamic tests, June 2007 and 2008. Next presented is vibration-based methodology developed for calibration a three-dimensional finite element model tower,...
Peak fusion power production of 6.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.4 MW has been achieved in TFTR plasmas heated by deuterium and tritium neutral beams at a total 29.5 MW. These have an inferred central alpha particle density 1.2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{17}$ ${\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}3}$ without the appearance either disruptive magnetohydrodynamics events or detectable changes Alfv\'en wave activity. The measured loss rate energetic particles agreed with...
The PTOLEMY experiment (Princeton Tritium Observatory for Light, Early-Universe, Massive-Neutrino Yield) aims to achieve the sensitivity required detect relic neutrino background through a combination of large area surface-deposition tritium target, MAC-E filter methods, cryogenic calorimetry, and RF tracking time-of-flight systems. A small-scale prototype is in operation at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory with goal validating technologies that would enable design 100 gram PTOLEMY. With...
Abstract As an alternative choice of solid plasma facing components (PFCs), flowing liquid lithium can serve as a limiter or divertor PFC and offers self-healing surface with acceptable heat removal good impurity control. Such system could improve performance, therefore be attractive for future fusion devices. Recently, continuously (FLiLi) has been successfully designed tested in the EAST superconducting tokamak. A circulating layer thickness <0.1 mm flow rate ~2 cm 3 s −1 was achieved....
We propose to achieve the proof-of-principle of PTOLEMY project directly detect Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Each technological challenges described in [1,2] will be targeted and hopefully solved by use latest experimental developments profiting from low background environment provided LNGS underground site. The first phase focus on graphene technology for a tritium target demonstration TES microcalorimetry with an energy resolution better than 0.05 eV electrons. These technologies...
The PTOLEMY project aims to develop a scalable design for Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) detector, the first of its kind and only one conceived that can look directly at image Universe encoded in neutrino background produced second after Big Bang. scope work next three years is complete conceptual this detector validate with direct measurements non-neutrino backgrounds are below expected cosmological signal. In paper we discuss details theoretical aspects experiment physics goals....
We discuss the consequences of quantum uncertainty on spectrum electron emitted by $\ensuremath{\beta}$-processes a tritium atom bound to graphene sheet. analyze quantitatively issue recently raised Cheipesh, Cheianov, and Boyarsky [Phys.

After many years of fusion research, the conditions needed for a D–T reactor have been approached on Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) [Fusion Technol. 21, 1324 (1992)]. For first time unique phenomena present in plasma are now being studied laboratory plasma. The magnetic experiments to study plasmas using nearly equal concentrations deuterium and tritium carried out TFTR. At maximum power 10.7 MW, 39.5 MW neutral-beam heating, supershot discharge 6.7 high-βp following current rampdown....
