Historical Perspective Following a few preliminary works on the inactivation of bacteria by low temperature plasma (LTP) reported in mid to late 1990’s [1]-[3] AFOSR established a small funded program aiming to evaluate the effects of plasma on biological cells. This program was managed by the Electronics and Physics Directorate of the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). This pr...

New interlayer intermolecular potential model was proposed and it represented “ABAB” staking of graphite. Hydrogen atom sputtering on graphite surface was investigated usingmolecular dynamics simulation. In the initial short time period, maintaining the flat structure of graphenes, hydrogen atoms brought about the difference interaction process in each incident energy. The first graphene often ...

Ion acceleration driven by superintense laser pulses is attracting an impressive and steadily increasing effort. Motivations can be found in the applicative potential and in the perspective to investigate novel regimesasavailable laser intensitieswill be increasing.Experimentshavedemonstrated, over awide range of laser and target parameters, the generation of multi-MeV proton and ion beams with...

background: there are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. there are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...

Jets and photons could play an important role in finding the transport coefficients of quark-gluon plasma. To this end we analyze their interaction with a non-equilibrium Using new field-theoretical tools derive two-point correlators for plasma which show how instabilities evolve time. This allows us, first time, to finite rates medium. We furthermore that coherent, long-wavelength instability ...

In this work, a surface current plasma model is coupled to volume integral formulation for studying the interaction between tokamak tearing modes (TMs) and machine metallic structures surrounding plasma. By evaluating passive response on set of pickup probes, TMs' amplitude estimated.

ghrelin increases food intakes and body weight. bombesin decreases food intakes and inhibits the stimulatory effect of ghrelin on food intakes. thyroid hormones have a crucial role in the regulation of body weight and yet the effect of bombesin on thyroid axis activity is not fully clear. therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the effect of different doses of ghrelin or bombesin on ...
