In a previous paper, we proposed that QCD gas may be possible candidate for the general theory of gravity (GR) ether comprised ud~du~ exotic mesons. A method to determine effective mass meson and Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric scale factor equation state dimensionless parameter, w, by measuring pseudo-first order ? decay rates expected inversely proportional atmospheric density was giv...

The finite element method has proven to be versatile in the analysis of various electromagnetic phenomena. In this paper, we investigate the utility of the finite element method for guiding the design of plasma reactors. These reactors are used for processing integrated circuit substrates. The design of such reactors is based on the complex interactions between the electromagnetic fields and a ...

Anaerobic treatment is applied extensively of removal of organic pollutants (COD) from wastewater. It is more competitive than aerobic treatment in applications where the quantity of COD to be removed is large. The major fraction of COD is converted to useful methane gas, and only a small fraction becomes waste sludge. The COD loading rate of anaerobic reactors is higher than that of aerobic re...

of talk (see introduction to the articles, above): At present, nuclear fission reactors produce a sizeable fraction of the electricity in the developed world: nearly 20% in the US. and substantially greater fractions in many western European countries and in the most developed Asian countries. However. the construction of new nuclear power plants has stopped almost everywhere. with very few ord...

Until recently traditional heating in organic chemistry has been done with oil heating baths or using electric heat exchangers. With the advent of microwave equipment, heating by microwaves was rapidly introduced as standard method in organic chemistry laboratories, mainly because of the convenient possibility to operate at high temperature accompanied by accelerated reaction rates. In the pres...

Plasma-based pollutant remediation and value-added gas production have recently gained increased attention as possible alternatives to the currently-deployed chemical reactor systems. Electrical discharges in packed bed reactors (PBRs) are of interest, due to their ability to synergistically combine catalytic and plasma chemical processes. In principle, these systems could be tuned to produce s...

The plasma flow in the scrape-off layer (SOL) plays an important role for the particle control in magnetic fusion reactors. The flow is expected to expel Helium ashes and to retain impurities in the divertor region, if it is directed towards the divertor plate. It has been experimentally observed, however, that the flow direction is sometimes opposite; from the plate side to the SOL middle side...
