Temporal electric field and electron density behavior of a He plasma jet with pulse width closing to pulse duration

Xu Li, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2023 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the spatial and temporal resolved electron density and electric field in the three regimes are measured through the Thomson scattering and the electric field-induced second harmonic method, respectively, and the results obtained in the paper indicate that the brightness of the plasma plume at different regimes is mainly decided by the electron temperature rather than the electron density.

Liquid discharge plasma for fast biomass liquefaction at mild conditions: The effects of homogeneous catalysts

TL;DR: In this article, an electrical discharge plasma is employed to promote the direct liquefaction of sawdust in a mixture of polyethylene glycol 200 and glycerol, and three commonly used chemicals, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and sodium p-toluene sulfate, were selected as catalysts.

Technologies to decontaminate bacterial biofilm on hospital surfaces: a potential new role for cold plasma?

TL;DR: Current technologies such as UV light and hydrogen peroxide are reviewed and the potential use of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) in surface decontamination is assessed, suggesting promise for CAPP in the challenge of surfaceDecontamination in the healthcare setting.

A Numerical Investigation on the Reactive Species Generation and Its Correlation With Electron Energy in Atmospheric-Pressure Helium/Humid Air Plasma Jets

TL;DR: In this article, the reactive species generation and its correlation with electron energy in atmospheric-pressure helium/humid air plasma jets have been numerically investigated based on a needle-plane electrode geometry by using a 2-D fluid model.

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.
