Bullet-shaped ionization front of plasma jet plumes driven by microwave pulses at atmospheric gas pressure

TL;DR: In this article, a coaxial transmission line resonator driven by microwave pulses is capable of generating atmospheric pressure plasma jet plumes, which exhibit distinctive characteristics, such as bullet-shaped ionization fronts for argon plasma and ball-shaped for helium plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of the methods for determination of reactive oxygen species and suggestion for their application in advanced oxidation induced by dielectric barrier discharges.

TL;DR: The various detection and quantification methods for oxygen-based species determination in AOPs, aqueous systems and non-thermal plasma processes are summarised and reviewed methods for the determination of ROS in DBD configurations are suggested to understand the consumption trend of these oxidants during treatment of water effluents.

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.
