Port-Hamiltonian formulation for plasma control in Tokamak reactors Trang VU‚ Laurent LEFEVRE and Bernhard MASCHKE Abstract— A port-Hamiltonian model is derived for tokamak plasma current profile dynamics. Magnetohydrodynamics and energy balance equations are first written in port-Hamiltonian formalism using Stokes-Dirac structures in 3D forms and a specific interconnection structure for the magneto-hydrodynamical coupling. A balance preserving reduction scheme is applied to the 3D models‚ assuming

Agile Ports Agile Ports Functional ports over the world handle different cargos of varied quantities and size to complete the international transport chain (Konings‚ Priemus & Nijkamp‚ 2008). The capacity of such ports needs enhancement to minimize operational interruption of their terminals as the containers move in and out the ports. Technological advancements and application of best business practices ensure the operations in the ports are efficient enough to handle the capacities

Efficiency of Public Transport Systems Abstract: We all hear the traffic woes everyday. The city has its share of negatives but traffic is one of the most talked about and experienced. One of the solutions generally given to solve the traffic problems is to have an efficient public transportation system. This solution basically cuts down the number of vehicles‚ and saves fuel‚ reduces pollution and in some cases is actually efficient in terms of time and money also. This paper discusses on the

“Transportation is the center of the world! It is the glue of our daily lives.” -Robin Chase The world that we live in now will most likely be impossible had it not been for innovations in transportation. There would not have been any great infrastructure‚ industrialisation‚ or massive production‚ if transportation was incompetent. Life would not have kept up with the fast changing times if there were no huge trucks‚ trailers‚ cargo ships‚ or large aircrafts to carry them to different places

Current domestic and global security threats: The impact on The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed to cope with the challenges of a bipolar world. However‚ today’s global environment faces multi-polar challenges from non-state actors such as terrorists. Threats once considered domestic concerns now affect the world‚ like global warming and the need to rebuild the infrastructure of unstable states such as Afghanistan and Bosnia. The
