Article Abstract
Since 2010, an in-vessel calibration light source (ICLS) has been used periodically on JET to calibrate a range of diagnostics at UV, visible, and IR wavelengths. During shutdowns, the ICLS (which is essentially an integrating sphere) is positioned within the vacuum vessel by the remote handling (RH) system. Following the 2013 calibration runs, several changes were made to improve the efficiency and quality of the calibrations. Among these was the replacement of a 20 m "umbilical" cable which carried power and other electrical signals through a vessel port to/from a control cubicle. A lightweight 2 m cable now plugs directly into a single connector on the RH manipulator system, greatly reducing the time required for deployment and improving operational flexibility; e.g., the vessel access "floor" no longer needs to be installed. This change also means the system would be compatible with calibrations after a high neutron-fluence period of operation. An on-board micro-spectrometer now allows for real-time verification of the emitted spectrum. Finally, new "baffles" were designed and installed within the integrating sphere itself, greatly improving the spectral radiance uniformity at non-normal viewing angles (necessary due to orientation uncertainties with the RH system).

The reusability of by-products in the food industry is consistent with sustainable and greener production; therefore, the aim of this paper was to evaluate the applicability of multiple linear regression (MLR), piecewise linear regression (PLR) and artificial neural network models (ANN) to the prediction of grape-skin compost's physicochemical properties (moisture, dry matter, organic matter, ash content, carbon content, nitrogen content, C/N ratio, total colour change of compost samples, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids and total colour change of compost extract samples) during in-vessel composting based on the initial composting conditions (air-flow rate, moisture content and day of sampling). Based on the coefficient of determination for prediction, the adjusted coefficient of determination for calibration, the root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP), the standard error of prediction (SEP), the ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) and the ratio of the error range (RER), it can be concluded that all developed MLR and PLR models are acceptable for process screening. Furthermore, the ANN model developed for predicting moisture and dry-matter content can be used for quality control (RER >11).

Pulmonary hypertension is a cardiovascular disorder manifested by elevated mean arterial blood pressure (>20 mmHg) together with vessel wall stiffening and thickening due to alterations in collagen, elastin, and smooth muscle cells. Hypoxia-induced (type 3) pulmonary hypertension can be studied in animals exposed to a low oxygen environment for prolonged time periods leading to biomechanical alterations in vessel wall structure. This study introduces a novel approach to formulating a reduced order nonlinear elastic structural wall model for a large pulmonary artery.

WEST (tungsten environment in steady-state tokamak) is starting operation for the first time with a water-cooled full tungsten divertor, enabling long pulse operation. Heating is provided by radiofrequency systems, including lower hybrid current drive (LHCD). In this context, a compact multi-energy hard x-ray camera has been installed for energy and space-resolved measurements of the electron temperature, the fast electron tail density produced by LHCD and runaway electrons, and the beam-target emission of tungsten at the target due to fast electron losses interacting with the divertor plates.

This paper describes two new helical arrays of magnetic coils recently installed inside the TJ-II vacuum vessel. Their main objective is the precise measurement of the spatial periodicity of the magnetohydrodynamic perturbations usually found in the TJ-II plasmas. Given the high probability of coil failures due to the harsh plasma environment and in view of the extremely difficult access to the TJ-II vessel interior for maintenance, the coil system has been divided in two quasi-identical helical arrays.

A new mode of headspace liquid-phase microextraction termed in-vessel headspace liquid-phase microextraction (IV-HS-LPME) has been developed. A plastic vessel was used as a holder for an extraction phase. Problems with drop stability, limitations in the stirring speed, and too little volume of the acceptor phase have been completely eliminated.
