The limiting currents stably flowing in the current-carrying elements based on 1G and 2G high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are studied. An analysis of the stability of macroscopic thermal and electrical states in the current charging modes is made in terms of the static zero-dimensional and one-dimensional models. For the coated tapes based on the YBa2Cu307 (Y123), the stability investigation was made varying the thicknesses of the copper or silver, external magnetic field and cooling conditions. The analysis performed reveals that the currents of the instability do not practically depend on the thicknesses of copper or silver when the superconducting current-carrying element made of the Y123 is cooled by the cryocooler. At the same time, the increase in the thickness of the stabilizing copper layer leads to a monotonic increase in the limiting stable currents, if the liquid helium (LHe) is used as a coolant. The mechanisms of these features are discussed. It is shown that the limiting stable currents and the induced electric fields depending on the cooling conditions can be both below (subcritical regime) and above (overcritical regime) of a priori defined critical values of the electric field and current of superconductor. The stability criteria of DC regimes are written for the superconducting wires, which structurally consist of superconducting multi-filaments placed into a non-superconducting matrix. They permit one to estimate the allowable limiting values of the charged current, the induced electric field and the overheating of superconductor, which can lead to both the subcritical and overcritical stable regimes. The boundary conditions of them are formulated. In particular, the peculiarities of the stable limiting current regimes of Ag-sheathed Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212/Ag) wire are discussed in detail. As a result, the investigation performed extends significantly the class of admissible states of HTS as it proves the existence of stable resistive modes in which they do not go to the normal states in spite of the overcritical operating states that take place under different cooling conditions.
"Open access will revolutionize 21st century knowledge work and accelerate the diffusion of ideas and evidence that support just in time learning and the evolution of thinking in a number of disciplines."
"It is important that students and researchers from all over the world can have easy access to relevant, high-standard and timely scientific information. This is exactly what Open Access Journals provide and this is the reason why I support this endeavor."
"Publishing research articles is the key for future scientific progress. Open Access publishing is therefore of utmost importance for wider dissemination of information, and will help serving the best interest of the scientific community."
"Open access journals are a novel concept in the medical literature. They offer accessible information to a wide variety of individuals, including physicians, medical students, clinical investigators, and the general public. They are an outstanding source of medical and scientific information."
"Open access journals are extremely useful for graduate students, investigators and all other interested persons to read important scientific articles and subscribe scientific journals. Indeed, the research articles span a wide range of area and of high quality. This is specially a must for researchers belonging to institutions with limited library facility and funding to subscribe scientific journals."
"Open access journals represent a major break-through in publishing. They provide easy access to the latest research on a wide variety of issues. Relevant and timely articles are made available in a fraction of the time taken by more conventional publishers. Articles are of uniformly high quality and written by the world's leading authorities."
"Open access journals have transformed the way scientific data is published and disseminated: particularly, whilst ensuring a high quality standard and transparency in the editorial process, they have increased the access to the scientific literature by those researchers that have limited library support or that are working on small budgets."
"Not only do open access journals greatly improve the access to high quality information for scientists in the developing world, it also provides extra exposure for our papers."
"Open Access 'Chemistry' Journals allow the dissemination of knowledge at your finger tips without paying for the scientific content."
"In principle, all scientific journals should have open access, as should be science itself. Open access journals are very helpful for students, researchers and the general public including people from institutions which do not have library or cannot afford to subscribe scientific journals. The articles are high standard and cover a wide area."
"The widest possible diffusion of information is critical for the advancement of science. In this perspective, open access journals are instrumental in fostering researches and achievements."
"Open access journals are very useful for all scientists as they can have quick information in the different fields of science."
"There are many scientists who can not afford the rather expensive subscriptions to scientific journals. Open access journals offer a good alternative for free access to good quality scientific information."
"Open access journals have become a fundamental tool for students, researchers, patients and the general public. Many people from institutions which do not have library or cannot afford to subscribe scientific journals benefit of them on a daily basis. The articles are among the best and cover most scientific areas."
"These journals provide researchers with a platform for rapid, open access scientific communication. The articles are of high quality and broad scope."
"Open access journals are probably one of the most important contributions to promote and diffuse science worldwide."
"Open access journals make up a new and rather revolutionary way to scientific publication. This option opens several quite interesting possibilities to disseminate openly and freely new knowledge and even to facilitate interpersonal communication among scientists."
"Open access journals are freely available online throughout the world, for you to read, download, copy, distribute, and use. The articles published in the open access journals are high quality and cover a wide range of fields."
"Open Access journals offer an innovative and efficient way of publication for academics and professionals in a wide range of disciplines. The papers published are of high quality after rigorous peer review and they are Indexed in: major international databases. I read Open Access journals to keep abreast of the recent development in my field of study."
"It is a modern trend for publishers to establish open access journals. Researchers, faculty members, and students will be greatly benefited by the new journals of Bentham Science Publishers Ltd. in this category."
