TL;DR: In this paper, the paraelectric forcing was found to be a combination of mass transport and vortical structures induced by strong electrohydrodynamic body forces on the planarpanels covered by glow-discharge surface plasma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physics and phenomenology of plasma reactors based on the One Atmosphere Uniform Glow Discharge Plasma (OAUGDP) are presented. And the real (as opposed to reactive) power delivered to a reactor is divided between dielectric heating of the insulating material and energy delivered to the plasma available for ionization and active species production.

TL;DR: A technique for generating active species with the one atmosphere uniform glow discharge plasma (OAUGDP) has been developed and tested in a wide range of potential plasma processing applications, including the sterilization and decontamination of surfaces as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: One atmosphere uniform glow discharge plasma (OAUGDP) as discussed by the authors is a plasma source that is capable of operating at atmospheric pressure in air and providing antimicrobial active species at room temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the active species of air and other gases responsible for sterilization and processing effects are generated on flat panels in a surface layer of one atmosphere uniform glow discharge plasma (OAUGDP).
