Antithrombin (AT) is a glycoprotein produced by the liver and principal antagonist of active clotting proteases. A deficit in AT function leads to qualitative deficiency, challenging diagnose. Here we report that may travel physiosorbed on surface plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs), contributing form “EV-protein corona.” The corona enriched specific glycoforms, thus suggesting glycosylation pl...

We investigate the formation of steady gas flows—so-called electric winds—created by point-plane corona discharges driven by time oscillating (ac) electric fields. By varying the magnitude and frequency of the applied field, we identify two distinct scaling regimes: (i) a low frequency (dc) regime and (ii) a high frequency (ac) regime. These experimental observations are reproduced and explaine...

We present the first high-resolution soft X-ray spectral observations of the corona above an active region, using the Bragg crystal spectrometer (BCS) on board the Yohkoh satellite. We observed NOAA AR 7978 as it rotated beyond the solar limb so that the lower portions of the region were occulted. Long integrations from times after the region had totally disappeared some days later show a subst...

Dynamical processes are well known to occur in the inner solar atmosphere, many of them giving origin to spectacular eruptions known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The projected speed of propagation of these events ranges from less than 100 km/sec to greater than 1200 km/sec. In order to study the initial evolution of the faster processes it is necessary to image the inner corona at a very h...

Context. There is abundant observational evidence of longitudinal compressive waves in plasma structures of the solar corona, which are confidently interpreted in terms of slow magnetoacoustic waves. The uses of coronal slow waves in plasma diagnostics, as well as analysis of their possible contribution to coronal heating and the solar wind acceleration require detailed theoretical modelling. A...

This paper reports improved performance of discharge plasma in filtered engine exhaust treatment. Our paper deals about the removal of NOX emissions from the diesel exhaust by electric discharge plasma. For the treatment of diesel exhaust a new type of reactor referred to as cross-flow dielectric barrier discharge reactor has been used, where the gas flow is perpendicular to the corona electrod...

Fine-scale structure in the corona appears not to be well resolved by current imaging instruments. Assuming this to be true offers a simple geometric explanation for several current puzzles in coronal physics, including: the apparent uniform cross-section of bright threadlike structures in the corona; the low EUV contrast (long apparent scale height) between the top and bottom of active region ...

This paper introduces recent optical measurements of radicals in atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), laser absorption, and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) techniques have been applied for density and temperature measurements of OH radicals, NO molecules, ozone, atomic oxygen, atomic nitrogen, and N2( A3Σ u ) metastables in pulsed corona and pulsed diel...

Theoretical and experimental studies of various modes corona discharge operation in atmospheric pressure air are presented this short review. The original results modeling negative discharges presented, taking into account the non-stationary plasma-chemical kinetics charged particles plasma. space–time evolution needle-to-plane geometry is investigated analyzed. Several stages development revea...
