چکیده

The infl uence of alternating electric fi elds of various frequency levels (from 10 to 400 Hz) on the growth of various microorganisms was studied. It was shown, that electric fi elds with frequencies from 10 to 60 Hz were stimulating microbial growth, while higher frequencies were causing its inhibition. No growth of yeasts and streptococci was detected after 1 hr treatment with 400 Hz frequency electric fi eld. Such infl uence of the electric fi eld can be used in food production to prevent the development of undesirable microorganisms inside the equipment, in remote areas or during food processing. This also can be used for continuous sterilization or pasteurization of liquid or viscous food products.

اثر میدان الکتریکی بر روی نقطه کروی کوانتومی GaAs/AlAs با ناخالصی هیدروژنی جایگزیده در مرکز

 In this research, the effect of the uniform electric field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a GaAs/AlAs spherical quantum dot was studied using infinite potential model. In presence of strong electric field, due to the stark effect (perturbing electric field), the ground state energy would increase linearly. In presence of weak electric fields, the normalized bind...

Effect of Cell Size and Shape on Electric Field Threshold and Critical Transmembrane Voltage for Electroporation

Introduction:  Electroporation  is  a  technique  for  increasing  the  permeability  of  the  cell  membrane  to  otherwise  non-permeate  molecules  due  to  an  external  electric  field.  This  permeability  enhancement  is  detectable if the induced transmembrane voltage becomes greater than a critical value which depends on the  pulse  strength  threshold.  In  this  study,  the  variabil...

In this study, waves instability in free electron laser with background plasma, under the influence of self-electric and self-magnetic fields, are analyzed. A dispersion relation in the Raman regime for free electron laser with a helical wiggler magnetic field and an axial magnetic field derived in which all possible wave modes can have unstable couplings with each other. This dispersion relati...
