Operating a full tungsten actively cooled tokamak: overview of WEST first phase of operation

WEST is an MA class superconducting, actively cooled, full tungsten (W) tokamak, designed to operate in long pulses up to 1000 s. In support of ITER operation and DEMO conceptual activities, key missions of WEST are: (i) qualification of high heat flux plasma-facing components in integrating both technological and physics aspects in relevant heat and particle exhaust conditions, particularly for the tungsten monoblocks foreseen in ITER divertor; (ii) integrated steady-state operation at high confinement, with a focus on power exhaust issues. During the phase 1 of operation (2017–2020), a set of actively cooled ITER-grade plasma facing unit prototypes was integrated into the inertially cooled W coated startup lower divertor. Up to 8.8 MW of RF power has been coupled to the plasma and divertor heat flux of up to 6 MW m−2 were reached. Long pulse operation was started, using the upper actively cooled divertor, with a discharge of about 1 min achieved. This paper gives an overview of the results achieved in phase 1. Perspectives for phase 2, operating with the full capability of the device with the complete ITER-grade actively cooled lower divertor, are also described

Birth Territory: A Theory for Midwifery Practice

This new edition of a highly regarded classic midwifery text encourages critical thinking about the art and science of midwifery. Promoting the idea that thinking directly affects practice, it offers a clear explanation of the concepts, theories and models that shape effective evidence-informed care for women

Comment engendrer une explication causale par apprentissage ? 1 - Le rôle du dialogue

This study deals with the child's understanding of physical causality. A learning method is used : the experimenter and the child are involved in a dialectico- didactic dialogue in search of an explanation of the rebounding process. Information is provided concerning pertinent phenomena in the experimental situation and one of the explanatory models is suggested. Results show that children tend to add their own interpretation.Cette étude concerne la recherche d'explication en causalité physique chez l'enfant. Une méthode d'apprentissage est utilisée dans laquelle expérimentateur et enfant dialoguent à propos d'un problème de rebondissement. Une information précise quels sont les phénomènes pertinents dans la situation expérimentale et suggère un type d'explication. Les résultats montrent que les enfants utilisent l'information et y ajoutent leurs propres interprétations.Bovet Magali, Parrat-Dayan Silvia, Voneche J.
