TLDR
In this paper, the most important mechanisms of generation and transport of the key species in the plasmas of atmospheric-pressure plasma jets and other non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasms are introduced and examined from the viewpoint of their applications in plasma hygiene and medicine and other relevant fields.

Dielectric barrier discharges: progress on plasma sources and on the understanding of regimes and single filaments

TL;DR: A review of the existing literature on DBDs can be found in this article, where the main part is devoted to the progress on the investigation of different aspects of breakdown and plasma formation with the focus on single filaments or microdischarges.

Cold atmospheric plasma activated water as a prospective disinfectant: the crucial role of peroxynitrite

TL;DR: This research successfully demonstrated the possibility of PAW being an effective environmentally benign disinfectant, the activity of which is closely linked to the generation of peroxynitrite, providing much needed insights into the fundamental aspects ofPAW chemistry required for optimisation of the biochemical activity of PAw and translation of this decontamination strategy into real life applications.

Plasma-activated water: generation, origin of reactive species and biological applications

TL;DR: This review presents a succinct review of how novel, efficient methods based on non-equilibrium reactive plasma chemistries can be applied to low-cost natural water sources to produce a prospective product with a wide range of applications while at the same time minimising the process steps and dramatically reducing the use of expensive and/or hazardous reagents.

DC and pulsed glow discharges in atmospheric pressure air and nitrogen

TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of direct current and pulsed glow discharges obtained either in ambient or preheated (2000 K) air or nitrogen at atmospheric pressure are presented.

Gender and transcriptional regulation of NO synthase and ET-1 in porcine aortic endothelial cells.

TL;DR: Results suggest that expression of endothelial NOS and prepro-ET-1 may be regulated at transcriptional level by ovarian hormones, and the ovarian hormones may regulate production of these endothelium-derived factors at the posttranscriptional level.

Reactive plasmas as a versatile nanofabrication tool

TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits and challenges of using plasma-based systems in nanofabrication of nanostructured silicon films, low-dimensional semiconducting quantum structures, ordered carbon nanotip arrays, and highly crystalline TiO2 coatings are discussed.

Are all atmospheric pressure cold plasma jets electrically driven

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of a non-equilibrium N2 plasma plume was studied and it was shown that the propagation velocity of the N2 plume is several orders of magnitude lower than those previously reported and further studies showed that it is close to the gas flow velocity.

LIF diagnostics of hydroxyl radical in atmospheric pressure He-H2O dielectric barrier discharges

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented laser induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements of OH relative density in a He-H2O atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge, with an estimation of the absolute density based on the quantitative analysis of the LIF signal and on the decay of OH density in the post-discharge.
