Numerical study on peak current in pulse-modulated radio-frequency discharges with atmospheric helium-oxygen admixtures

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of the peak current in the first period (PCFP) in a pulse-modulated rf helium-oxygen discharge driven by a sinusoidal voltage is discussed, the existence of reverse field near the anode caused by the negative and positive ions contributes greatly to the mechanism of PCFP.

Impact of Short Time Atmospheric Plasma Treatment on Onion Seeds

TL;DR: The results of an experiment on the effect of cold plasma generated in a radio frequency cold atmospheric plasma jet on the process of germination of onion cv. Wolska (Allium cepa L.) seeds were presented in this article.

Hydrophobic Waxes in Ivory Nuts Affect Surface Modification by Atmospheric Air Plasma Jet

TL;DR: In this article, an air plasma jet was used to modify wettability of Ivory nut endosperm, which showed an increase from (31.5 ± 8.7)º to (78.9 ± 5.4)º, demonstrating surface hydrophobization.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)

TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.

Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function

Wulf Dröge
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that aging involves, in addition, progressive changes in free radical-mediated regulatory processes that result in altered gene expression.

Nitric Oxide and Peroxynitrite in Health and Disease

TL;DR: Current evidence indicates that most of the cytotoxicity attributed to NO is rather due to peroxynitrite, produced from the diffusion-controlled reaction between NO and another free radical, the superoxide anion, which is presented in detail in this review.
