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 Comparison with other scripting ... scripting languages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Plasma sources generate Plasma physics plasmas . Excitation of a plasma requires partial ionization of neutral atom s and or molecule s of a medium. There are several ways to cause ionization collisions of energetic particles, strong electric fields acting on bond electron s, or ionizing radiation. The kinetic energy for ionizing collisions may come from the heat of chemical or nuclear reactions of the medium, as in flame s, for instance. Alternatively, already released charged particles may be accelerated by electric field s, generated electromagnetically or by radiation fields. If at least as many charge carrier s are created per time unit as recombine, the plasma can be sustained. Plasma excitation by electromagnetic field s can be classified according to Frequency classification of plasmas Energy coupling mode Inductively coupled plasma Solenoid coil Planar coil Helical resonator Capacitively coupled plasma Single frequency capacitively coupled plasma Dual frequency capacitively coupled plasma Wave heated plasma Electron cyclotron resonance Helicon discharge Surface wave sustained mode Resonator mode Electrodeless plasma excitation Pressure range classification Low pressure discharge Atmospheric pressure discharge MAGPIE ,aka, Mega Ampere Generator for Plasma Implosion Experiments Plasma sources have numerous technical applications, for instance in light generation and plasma processing of materials. They can be used for extracting an ion beam, in which case they are also called ion sources .
