However, as we discussed last time, this result was an artifact of the smoothing procedure (Laut, 2003) and despite some further efforts by those authors to rescue it, there turns out to be no relationship to temperature at all. Furthermore, the last index is rather poorly described and may just be noise. Hoyt, and K.H. Skumanich, and O.

Fusion community mourns death of ITER boss Bernard Bigot aged 72

Physics World

Following positions at École normale supérieure de Lyon, he became director of the institution in 2000 and then high commissioner for atomic energy in 2003. Born in Blois, France, on 24 January 1950, Bigot studied physical science at the École normale supérieure in Paris and later gained a PhD in chemistry. We will miss him greatly.
