This article discusses the possibilities of two methods for monitoring Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process parameters: multi-grid probe, which makes it possible, in particular, to determine energy distribution ions one- or two-component plasma and spectrum analyzer glow discharge electromagnetic radiation signal based on Prony–Fourier multichannel inductive spectral analysis sensor. The cur...

BACKGROUND We hypothesized that liver-derived mRNA, such as ALB (albumin) mRNA, would be released into human plasma with liver cell death. METHODS We genotyped ALB mRNA molecules in samples of plasma and whole blood from liver and bone marrow transplant recipients by RNA single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis. Plasma and whole blood ALB mRNA genotypes were compared with the DNA genotypes of ...

the experimental studies of methane conversion to higher hydrocarbons and methanol using a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor are presented in this article. the process is carried out at ambient atmospheric pressure and temperature. the dbd reactor is stimulated by an alternative voltage of 50 hz and amplitude of max.23kv. the examination of the effect of voltage and flow rates on metha...

in this paper, construction of triplet atmospheric plasma jet using argon, air, oxygen and nitrogen gases is reported. bactericidal effect of the plasma jet is also investigated. to that end, longitudinal geometric configuration for the electrodes was chosen because it would increase the jet length. electrical characteristics, jet length dependencies on the applied voltage and gas flow rate wer...

Faraday rotation is a valuable diagnostic tool for investigating laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, but it has almost exclusively been treated in the collisionless limit (despite non-negligible role of Coulomb collisions many plasmas). Here, we show that can occur collisional plasmas usual effect curiously altered by collisions. Namely, an initially linearly polarized light wave—propagating ...

BACKGROUND New renal biomarkers measured in urine promise to increase specificity for risk stratification and early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) but concomitantly may be altered by urine concentration effects and chronic renal insufficiency. This study therefore directly compared the performance of AKI biomarkers in urine and plasma. METHODS This single-center, prospective cohort st...
