Energy Considerations for Plasma-Assisted N-Fixation Reactions

Energy Considerations for Plasma-Assisted N-Fixation Reactions

In a time of increasing concerns about the immense energy consumption and poor environmental performance of contemporary processes in the chemical industry, there is great need to develop novel sustainable technologies that enhance energy efficiency. There is abundant chemical literature on process innovations (laboratory-scale) around the plasma reactor itself, which, naturally, is the essenti...

N-acetylcysteine in handgrip exercise: plasma thiols and adverse reactions.

UNLABELLED N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a thiol donor with antioxidant properties that has potential use as an ergogenic aid. However, NAC is associated with adverse reactions that limit its use in humans. PURPOSE The authors evaluated NAC efficacy as a thiol donor before handgrip exercise, measuring changes in serum cysteine and glutathione status and recording adverse reactions in adult subjec...

Anaesthetic considerations for robotic-assisted cardiac surgery

Introduction Robotic-assisted surgery is increasingly being used in various surgical specialities to decrease blood loss, surgical stress and to improve cosmesis. Over past two decades it has become popular in cardiac surgery as well. Various cardiac surgical procedures like valve surgery, coronary artery surgery and congenital repair procedures can be done with robotic help. Anaesthetic manage...

N-doped graphene as catalysts for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions: Theoretical considerations

Electrocatalysts are essential to two key electrochemical reactions, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in renewable energy conversion and storage technologies such as regenerative fuel cells and rechargeable metal–air batteries. Here, we explored N-doped graphene as costeffective electrocatalysts for these key reactions by employing density functional theory (D...
