Long pulse plasmas, up to 400 s, were obtained by LHCD. High power lower hybrid wave （LHW）, with PLHW of 800 kW at 2.45 GHz, was launched and the current drive efficiency was studied for different wave powers. Electron temperature and Zeff were measured in LHCD discharges. Heating experiment and recent results of high power ion Bernstein wave, with PIBW of 600 kW at 27 MHz, were summarized.展开更多

The consequent strong ground motions are supposed to be able to impose high demands on the ultra-low-cycle fatigue performance of metallic dampers in buildings, including the widely used buckling restrained braces. This study evaluates the cumulative plastic deformation(CPD) demands on bucklingrestrained braces(BRBs) in multi-story buildings imposed by the strong ground motions in the 2023 Türkiye earthquake doublet. Thirty-two records of the highest peak ground accelerations were selected from the strong motion database. Among them, eight captured the ground motions during both events, and the rest only captured the shaking of either of the events. The CPD demands on the BRBs in reinforced concrete frames with various fundamental periods, brace-to-frame stiffness ratios, and BRB ductility ratio are calculated by nonlinear time history analyses and are summarized in the form of enveloped spectra of CPD ratios at constant ductility. The results show that the CPD demands on BRBs increase with smaller brace-toframe stiffness ratios and larger BRB ductility ratios. The enveloped CPD demands are several hundreds of times the nominal yield deformation of the BRB, which are much higher than the CPD demands for the calibration tests of BRBs stipulated by AISC 341 in the US.展开更多

However, no current transaction model can provide full transaction support for such long running business processes. This paper proposes a new transaction model, the pessimistic predicate/transform (PP/T) model, which can provide full transaction support for long running business processes. A framework was proposed on the enterprise JavaBeans platform to implement the PP/T model. The framework enables application developers to focus on the business logic, with the underlying platform providing the required transactional semantics. The development and maintenance effort are therefore greatly reduced. Simulations show that the model has a sound concurrency management ability for long running business processes.展开更多
