Abstract

The JSC NIKIET is responsible for the manufacture of the ITER Enhanced Heat Flux (EHF) First Wall (FW) beam, the fingers bodies, the mechanical attachment system and electrical connection system of the FW panel to the shield block (SB). The Electrical strap (ES) is located on the FW rear surface and used for providing current through the FW to the SB and further to the Vacuum Vessel with a goal to reduce the current loops and consequently to decrease the electromagnetic loads acting on the FW during plasma disruption. The NIKIET specialists developed the new design of the electrical strap which has been implemented into the FW design. Electrical discharge machine (EDM) cutting is used for performing the 1.2 mm thickness lamellas in the solid blank. This ES design has been approved by IO. The transient thermal analysis results show that temperature of ES is lower than 300°С for Inductive I operation mode and does not exceed allowable one. The fatigue strength criteria are satisfied for all the considered critical points of ES lamellas. Also the technological validation of ES manufacturing process has been successfully completed and full scale ES mock ups have been manufactured. This paper presents the design description of the EHF FW ES and FW bimetallic pedestal, results of thermal and structural analyses and first experience of mock up manufacturing that were performed by JSC NIKIET specialists in 2015.

15. Fast and accurate non-sequential protein structure alignment using a new asymmetric linear sum assignment heuristic.

*BIOINFORMATICS, *PROTEIN structure, *EQUIPMENT & supplies
Abstract

Motivation: The three dimensional tertiary structure of a protein at near atomic level resolution provides insight alluding to its function and evolution. As protein structure decides its functionality, similarity in structure usually implies similarity in function. As such, structure alignment techniques are often useful in the classifications of protein function. Given the rapidly growing rate of new, experimentally determined structures being made available from repositories such as the Protein Data Bank, fast and accurate computational structure comparison tools are required. This paper presents SPalignNS, a non-sequential protein structure alignment tool using a novel asymmetrical greedy search technique. Results: The performance of SPalignNS was evaluated against existing sequential and nonsequential structure alignment methods by performing trials with commonly used datasets. These benchmark datasets used to gauge alignment accuracy include (i) 9538 pairwise alignments implied by the HOMSTRAD database of homologous proteins; (ii) a subset of 64 difficult alignments from set (i) that have low structure similarity; (iii) 199 pairwise alignments of proteins with similar structure but different topology; and (iv) a subset of 20 pairwise alignments from the RIPC set. SPalignNS is shown to achieve greater alignment accuracy (lower or comparable root-mean squared distance with increased structure overlap coverage) for all datasets, and the highest agreement with reference alignments from the challenging dataset (iv) above, when compared with both sequentially constrained alignments and other non-sequential alignments.

Subjects
*BOGIES (Vehicles), *HIGH speed trains, *EQUIPMENT & supplies
Abstract

Trenitalia's ETR1000 is the 1st Very High Speed Train, which is certified according to the TSI. The design of its running gear was derived from the BOMBARDIER ZEFIRO 380*). Some of the essential challenges during homologation of the bogies are described. The major topics have been the proceeding of the calculations, tests and proofs, and this especially for the wheelsets and the structural parts. Moreover, the running dynamics and, closely linked to this, the mechatronic subsystems in the bogie provided a wide working field. The complexity of cooperation with authorities, assessors, test institutes, subsuppliers etc. can only briefly be mentioned. A selection of results may illustrate some of the aspects mentioned before. The successful finalization of all acceptance activities allows the start of commercial operation in June 2015. Due to the size, this paper will be published in two separate parts. Part 1 is mainly dedicated to the homologation requirements and structural mechanics, and part 2 is focused on vehicle dynamics, mechatronies and further topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. SenseCube—a novel inexpensive wireless multisensor for physics lab experimentations.

Author

Subjects
*EVALUATION, *LABORATORY equipment & supplies, *PHYSICS education, *EQUIPMENT & supplies
Abstract

SenseCube is a multisensor capable of measuring many different real-time events and changes in environment. Most conventional sensors used in introductory-physics labs use their own software and have wires that must be attached to a computer or an alternate device to analyze the data. This makes the standard sensors time consuming, tedious, and space-constricted. SenseCube was developed to overcome these limitations. This research was focused on developing a device that is all-encompassing, cost-effective, wireless, and compact, yet can perform the same tasks as the multiple standard sensors normally used in physics labs. It measures more than twenty distinct types of real-time events and transfers the data via Bluetooth. Both Windows and Mac software were developed so that the data from this device can be retrieved and/or saved on either platform. This paper describes the sensor itself, its development, its capabilities, and its cost comparison with standard sensors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
