Although a large variety of functions has been attributed to DJ- 1, currently no consensus has been found on its effective cellular activity. Indeed, the protein has been described as a transcriptional modulator, a regulator of mitochondrial activity, a stabilizer of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor （Nrf2）, a chaperone, a pro- tease, and a glutathione （GSH）-independent glyoxalase （Ariga et al., 2013）. Very recently, the additional participation of the protein to carbonvl stress defense has been emereing （Richarme et al., 2015）.展开更多

Therefore, identifying and predicting MARFE movement is meaningful to mitigate or avoid density limit disruption for the steady-state high-density plasma operation. A machine learning method named random forest(RF) has been used to predict the MARFE movement based on the density ramp-up experiment in the 2022’s first campaign of Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST). The RF model shows that besides Greenwald fraction which is the ratio of plasma density and Greenwald density limit, dβp/dt,H98and d Wmhd/dt are relatively important parameters for MARFE-movement prediction. Applying the RF model on test discharges, the test results show that the successful alarm rate for MARFE movement causing density limit disruption reaches ~ 85% with a minimum alarm time of ~ 40 ms and mean alarm time of ~ 700 ms. At the same time, the false alarm rate for non-disruptive and non-density-limit disruptive discharges can be kept below 5%. These results provide a reference to the prediction of MARFE movement in high density plasmas, which can help the avoidance or mitigation of density limit disruption in future fusion reactors.展开更多
