Artemis simulations were run using the development branch of artemis https://github.com/ECP-WarpX/artemis
Some simulations in this paper were performed with different commit hashes of artemis and amrex, however, the input files should still work with the most recent development branch of artemis.
In the attached tar file, the input files, data, and scripts used to analyse simulation results shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the paper are provided. To run the simulations on perlmutter GPUs, the code is compiled with USE_GPU=TRUE and USE_LLG=FALS

Urban Asymmetries Ciudad Juarez, Mexico: Designing A Transferium ...... A point of Exchange
No full textThe MSc. graduation project dealt with understanding the implications of Neo liberal policies on the city of Juarez which lies on the US - Mexico border. In 2009 Ciudad Juarez was rated as “the most violent zone in the world outside of declared war zones” due to high crime rates, femisides, homicides, corruption, drug trafficking and multiple other problems. The city is also presently facing massive exodus and the abandoning of large portions of its housing stock due to the increase in violence and a prevailing low intensity war between the state and the drug cartels. The reasons for this asymmetrical development are multiple and point towards a complex mesh of forces that transgress the scope of the built environment. They encompass entangled dimensions of political economy and socio-economic developments, which eventually affect the built environment. With this background a six month intense research was carried out and a counter proposal group strategy was proposed on a prototype site Riberas Del bravo and eventually an Urban & architectural intervention was designed. Thus as part of my graduation project I designed a collective transport system comprising of three design elements the Transferium hub, the bus stops and the routes on the prototype site. The core design idea dealt with developing a time based concept, that allowed hybridization of the programme and hence catered to both peak and anti-peak hour differently. Firstly a strong east west axis was developed to regulate and accentuate the flow of people along the canal & public promenade proposed as part of the group strategy. These east west axis were flanged by three pavilions serving the Transferium and Community center on the two edges and a multipurpose market space at the center. The central multipurpose market space manifested itself further as Hawking zone courtyard, Mobile Market courtyard and Permanent Market. During the peak hour the Transferium expanded into the central multipurpose space and during the anti-peak hour the community market/activities expanded into the multipurpose space. Thus depending on the flow of vehicles the central multipurpose space grew or condensed in size catering to different activities.Urban AsymmetriesDelft School of DesignArchitectur
Design, Development and Evaluation of Gastroretentive Drug Delivery System of Antacids
No full textMagaldrate is an antacid have been widely used in the treatment of various gastric and duodenal disorders such as heartburn, reflux esophagitis, acid indigestion, gastritis, sour stomach, upset stomach, irritable stomach, gastric and duodenal ulcers. The conventional antacids dosage forms have a short duration of action which is about 2-3 hours due to gastric emptying process. A gastroretentive dosage form of antacid is needed since the healing of gastric ulcers occurs when gastric pH is kept above 3-4 during 24 hours. The present study was aimed at developing Gastro retentive bilayer drug delivery systems containing Magaldrate to minimize the side effect, improve the prolongation of action, to reduce the frequency of drug administration. A wet granulation technique was used to formulate 9 batches. Superdisintegrants like Polyplasdone XL-10, Ac-Di-Sol, and sodium starch glycolate was used for immediate release layer and HPMC K4 M, Ac-Di-Sol and lactose like polymers were used in floating layer. Preformulation studies were carried out to optimize the ratios required for various grades of polymers. The prepared floating tablets were evaluated for hardness, weight variation, thickness, friability, drug content uniformity, buoyancy lag time, total floating time, water uptake (swelling index), and in vitro dissolution studies. Successful formulation was developed having floating lag time as low as 30 sec and drug release was sustained up to 12 hrs. A biphasic drug release can be obtained by using bilayer tableting technology which involved compression of immediate and sustained release layer together. Bilayered floating tablets with release characteristics offer critical advantages such as, site specificity with improved absorption and efficacy. This technology can be inculcated to various medicaments which have stomach as the major site of absorption.
