At Los Alamos National Laboratory, a special purpose cluster named "tebow," was constructed such to maximize available RAM per CPU, as well as leveraging swap space with solid state hard drives, to allow larger scale depletion calculations (allowing for significantly more burnable regions than previously examined).
One such structure is the ionospheric trough, which is a large-scale depletion in the F region plasma with a width in the latitudinal direction of the order of 5° 10° (for review, see Rodger et al. 1992).
From the mucosa, virus is disseminated to systemic sites initiating large-scale depletion of CD4+ T cells first in the intestinal lamina propria and subsequently in the blood.
These wavy structures with zonal (east west) wavelengths of about 150 880 km evolved later into either large-scale depletions or multiple depleted patches.
To perform the high fidelity multi-physics simulations of real reactors or benchmark calculations such as two-cycle BEAVRS benchmark based on measurement data of a practical nuclear power plant, several factors must be considered such as large scale detailed depletion, thermal-hydraulics feedback, on-the-fly nuclear cross section processing, criticality search and inter-cycle refueling.
At the low latitude ionosphere the diurnal behavior of scintillation is driven by the formation of large scale equatorial depletions which are formed by post-sunset plasma instabilities via the Rayleigh Taylor instability near the magnetic equator.
It is recognized that the spread-F in ionograms is associated with large scale (100s of km) plasma depletions, that originate initially at the F-layer bottomside (by the RTI mechanism) and, in turn, rise nonlinearly to the topside.
The TEC curves for PRNs 21, 25, and 29 also show short-period fluctuations that are indicative of small-scale irregularities within the large-scale ESF depletion.
Kosch et al. ([2007b]) showed that the pump beam forms a large-scale density depletion generating a reflective concave HF mirror which focuses the pump wave energy into a small region when pumping in the magnetic zenith.
The changing nature of human interference, potentially as a response to underlying climatic transitions, is evident through large-scale soil depletion resulting from grazing and land clearance during the early LIA and stabilization of arable lands during the late and post-LIA eras.
At equatorial and low latitude regions, the all-sky imaging observations of the OI 630 nm emission show quasi north-south aligned intensity depletion bands, which are the optical signatures of large scale F-region plasma irregularities.
