KTorrent KWord PlasmaKDEPlasma SuperKaramba External links Portal Free software http kross.dipe.org ...Kross is the new scripting framework for KDE Software Compilation 4 KDE SC 4 , the latest version of the KDE SC. Originally Kross was designed for use in KOffice but eventually became the official scripting framework in KDE SC 4. Kross is designed to provide full scripting power for users of KDE applications, with a language of their own choice and make it easy for developers targeting the KDE platform to enable their application with support for multiple scripting languages without themselves needing to be proficient in any of them . The Kross scripting framework is not a scripting language itself. It merely serves to plug into KDE the support for other, already existing scripting languages. Currently supported are Python programming language Python , Ruby programming language Ruby , JavaScript and the Falcon programming language Falcon Programming Language . Addition of other scripting languages is made easy by the modular architecture of the framework. Kross provides the following advantages over other approaches to enable scripting for desktop applications or desktop environments The user is free to pick and use his her favorite language for the scripting efforts The application developer does not need to know the specifics about a scripting language Other scripting languages can be easily added by writing a module Plug in computing plugin for Kross.

KDE on Cygwin is the port of the Qt toolkit Qt toolkit and the KDE desktop environment both of which are commonly found in Linux to the Microsoft Windows Windows Operating System by using Cygwin , a POSIX emulator emulation layer. KDE on Cygwin helps Windows computers to run applications originally created for Qt and KDE, by providing the applications with the necessary dependencies in a transparent manner. The project is no longer being developed as since 2009 there exists a natively compiled version of KDE Software Compilation 4 KDE 4 for Windows. ref http windows.kde.org news.php KDE on Windows News ref ref http techbase.kde.org Projects KDE on Windows Installation KDE Installer for Windows KDE Installer for Windows ref History The project was started by Ralf Habacker in May 2001. Its goal was to ensure compatibility of major programs that were originally only available by using a Linux distribution. After cessation of active development of KDE on Cygwin , the efforts to provide the KDE environment on Windows continue with the KDE Windows Initiative. ref http windows.kde.org KDE Windows Initiative ref Ported Software As with many emulation examples, not all the common KDE programs are guaranteed to work unmodified on KDE on Cygwin due to the complex interaction of all the libraries needed. The open source nature of KDE and several of the programs running on it, allows some of these shortcomings to be found and circumvented. The project has ported various Qt and KDE versions, and are considered of Development stage Beta beta quality. ref http kde cygwin.sourceforge.net KDE Cygwin page on SourceForge ref Image Kde 3 boot2.jpg thumb right Kde starting up.

Wikify date October 2011 In KDE Software Compilation 4 , Sonnet is a multilingual spell check program. Sonnet replaces kspell2 that was created for K Desktop Environment 3 KDE3 . The two main goals for Sonnet s development were a simpler API, wider language support and performance. Notable improvements in Sonnet over kspell2 are Automatic language detection, a language can be identified with as little as 20 characters of text. Even multiple languages in the same document can be detected and spell checked correctly Better performance Improvements in spell checking languages like Thai and Japanese Simpler design, kspell2 consisted of 7 components and a complicated API. Sonnet is a single component and aims to provide a simpler API The user can select a primary and backup dictionary, an example given was a doctor who frequently uses terms from a medical dictionary.

In the afterglow of a Plasma physics plasma , also known as remote plasma , the external electromagnetic field s that sustained the plasma glow are absent or insufficient to maintain the discharge. A plasma afterglow can either be a temporal, due to an interrupted pulsed plasma source , or a spatial one, due to a distant plasma source. In the afterglow, plasma generated species de excite and participate in secondary chemical reactions that tend to form stable species. Depending on the gas composition, super elastic collisions may continue to sustain the plasma in the afterglow for a while by releasing the energy stored in rovibronic excitation rovibronic degrees of freedom of the atoms and molecules of the plasma. Especially in molecular gases, the plasma chemistry in the afterglow is significantly different from the plasma glow.

unreferenced date April 2010 Magnetic confinement fusion Magnetically confined fusion plasma physics plasma s such as those generated in tokamak s and stellarator s are characterized by a typical shape. Plasma shaping is the study of the plasma shape in such devices, and is particularly important for next step fusion devices such as ITER . This shape is conditioning partly the performance of the plasma. Tokamaks, in particular, are axisymmetric devices, and therefore one can completely define the shape of the plasma by its Cross section geometry cross section . Cross section In the simple case of a plasma with up down symmetry, the plasma cross section is defined using a combination of four parameters the plasma elongation, math kappa b over a math , where math a math is the plasma minor radius, and math b math is the height of the plasma measured from the equatorial plane . br the plasma triangularity, defined as the horizontal distance between the plasma major radius math R math and the X point. br the angle between the horizontal and the plasma last closed flux surface LCFS at the low field side. br the angle between the horizontal and the plasma last closed flux surface LCFS at the high field side. br See also List of plasma physics articles Category Plasma physics ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 A plasma channel is a conductive channel of plasma physics plasma . A plasma channel can be formed in these ways With a high powered laser that operates at a certain frequency that will provide enough energy for an atmospheric gas to break into its ion s, or form a plasma, such as in a Laser Induced Plasma Channel , for example in an electrolaser . With a voltage higher than the dielectric breakdown voltage applied across a dielectric , and dielectric breakdown occurs. A plasma channel has a low electrical resistance and, once formed, will permit continuous current flow if the energy source that heats the plasma can be maintained. Unlike a normal electrical conductor, the resistance and voltage drop across an unconfined plasma channel decreases with increasing current flow, a property called negative resistance . As a result, an electric spark that initially required a very high voltage to initiate avalanche breakdown within the insulating gas will rapidly evolve into a hot low voltage electric arc if the electrical power source can continue to deliver sufficient power to the arc. Plasma channels tend to self constrict see plasma pinch due to magnetism magnetic forces stemming from the current flowing through the plasma.
