Repeated plasma current induced by potential fluctuation in atmospheric pressure non-thermal-equilibrium plasma jet

TL;DR: In this article, the potential time fluctuation of the powered electrode and the potential of the metal object were balanced, and the residual charge on the metal was determined by the dynamic pressure balance.

Temporal electric field of a helium plasma jet by electric field induced second harmonic (E-FISH) method

TL;DR: In this article , the electric field induced second harmonic (E-FISH) method was used to diagnose electric field of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet and the time-resolved electric field under different conditions was investigated.

Complicated streamer dynamics in petal‐like patterns formed on the substrate downstream of an argon plasma jet

TL;DR: In this article , petal-like patterns formed on the substrate are observed for the first time downstream of an argon plasma jet, and the complicated streamer dynamics of Dp2 are analyzed based on optical emission spectra.

An Energy Efficient Process for Degrading Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) Using Strip Fountain Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma

TL;DR: In this paper , a strip fountain dielectric barrier discharge (SF-DBD) plasma source was used to degrade PFOA from the water and the effects of power supply mode, discharge gases, pH, the conductivity of the solution, concentration, etc., on degradation efficiency were studied.

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.

Photodynamic Therapy

C.J. Gomer
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of mechanisms of subcellular and tumor localization of photosensitizing agents, as well as of molecular, cellular, and tumor responses associated with photodynamic therapy, are discussed.
