Critical temperature, $T_c$, and the transition width, $\Delta$$T_c$, are two primary parameters of superconducting transition. The latter parameter reflects state disturbance originating from thermodynamic fluctuations, atomic disorder, applied magnetic field, presence secondary crystalline phases, pressure, etc. Recently, Hirsch Marsiglio (2020 arXiv:2012.12796) performed an analysis width in...

Liquid methanol shows one- and two-dimensional (1D/2D) hydrogen bond (HB) networks, and liquid water shows three-dimensional (3D) HB networks. We have clearly found three different local structures around the methyl group of methanol-water binary solutions (CH3OH)X(H2O)1-X at different concentrations in C K-edge soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). With the help of molecular dynamics simul...

We investigate the adsorption and decomposition states of a water molecule on a Ga-rich GaP(001)(2×4) surface using the PBE flavor of density functional theory (DFT). We selected the GaP(001)(2×4) mixed dimer surface reconstruction model to represent the Ga-rich GaP(001)(2×4) surface. Because our focus is on reactions between a single water molecule and the surface, the surface water coverage i...

The options for the regeneration of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) using hydrogen rich gas are investigated. The advantages of using hydrogen rich gas for this purpose are described. The system requirements for such a system are also evaluated. The use of a plasmatron fuel converter for the onboard generation of hydrogen rich gas from diesel fuel is discussed. The advantages of homogeneous, ...

As a response to the threat of global climate change, a number of technologies have been proposed in which the carbon dioxide produced by combustion of fossil fuels at power stations is captured and stored. A leading option is based on the pre-combustion decarbonisation of fossil fuels to produce hydrogen-rich fuel gases. Such decarbonisation processes integrate the production of a synthesis ga...

BACKGROUND Muscle contraction during short intervals of intense exercise causes oxidative stress, which can play a role in the development of overtraining symptoms, including increased fatigue, resulting in muscle microinjury or inflammation. Recently it has been said that hydrogen can function as antioxidant, so we investigated the effect of hydrogen-rich water (HW) on oxidative stress and mus...

Some super Earths and mini Neptunes will likely have thick atmospheres that are not H2-dominated. We have developed a photochemistry-thermochemistry kinetic-transport model for exploring the compositions of thick atmospheres on super Earths and mini Neptunes, applicable for both H2-dominated atmospheres and non-H2-dominated atmospheres. Using this model to study thick atmospheres for wide range...

OBJECTIVE This study was performed to determine the effect of the tocotrienol-rich fraction on the lifespan and oxidative status of C. elegans under oxidative stress. METHOD Lifespan was determined by counting the number of surviving nematodes daily under a dissecting microscope after treatment with hydrogen peroxide and the tocotrienol-rich fraction. The evaluated oxidative markers included ...
