Configuration of plasma reactors influences the generation of active species including the energized electrons, active radicals and the distribution of active species in reactor, and thus influences the removal efficiency of pollutants. Oxidation efficiency of elemental mercury (Hg) in two different DBD plasma reactors was studied in this paper. One plasma reactor is a surface discharge reactor...

The frog retinal response to light is obtained in the frequency domain. The response is obtained by means of a capillary-type electrode at the cornea. Sinusoidal stimuli are used. The very low frequency range (0.01 to 1 Hz.) is examined. With decreasing frequency, retinal gain increases and the response is more nearly sinusoidal. The increase in sensitivity is thought to result from rod enhance...

We describe some modifications to a Bernas-type ion source that improve the beam production efficiency and operating lifetime. The ionization of Bernas type has been improved by using small anode is thin rod, oriented along magnetic field. transverse electric field causes plasma drift in crossed ExB emission slit. cathode material recycling was optimized increase lifetime, wall potential suppre...

Graphite material is abundantly available from recyclable sources. It possesses a good electrical conductance property, which makes it an attractive material as a working electrode. However, due to a high activation overpotential it has limited applications as compared to other solid metal electrodes. In this present work, we obtained a graphite rod from a used battery, and carried out electroc...

The main purpose of grounding is to create a low-impedance path the earth's surface for electric waves and transient voltages. An effective system will minimize these effects. plays very important role in protection system. used as fault current discharge ground. According its function, divided into 2, namely neutral point power equipment. serves safety or network, while equipment functions aga...

Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) has outstanding affinity over DNA for complementary nucleic acid sequences by forming a PNA-DNA heterodimer upon hybridization via Watson-Crick base-pairing. To verify whether PNA probes on an electrode surface enhance sensitivity for potentiometric DNA detection or not, we conducted a comparative study on the hybridization of PNA and DNA probes on the surface of a 10...

We present experimental and theoretical results on suspensions of silica rods in DMSO-water, subjected to an applied electric field. The experimental results indicate that, if the electrode used for generating the electric field is in direct contact with the suspension, a fraction of the rods close to the electrode surface does not stand parallel to the field but instead lies flat on the electr...

Ionisation can occur in the soil when high impulse currents are subjected to grounding systems. This occurrence is generated by a difference dielectric strength value between and air voids. Several published works investigating ionisation process have seen that degree of dependent on several factors, among them resistivity, ground electrode size polarity. The effects such as moisture content so...

This paper advances the design of Rod Pre-strained Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (RP-DEAs) in their capability to generate comparatively large static actuation forces with increased lifetime via optimized electrode arrangements. RP-DEAs utilize thin stiff rods to constrain the expansion of the elastomer and maintain the in-plane pre-strain in the rod longitudinal direction. The aim is to study...
