Biomass is one of the most important sources of renewable energy. One aim of Biomass gasification is to convert a solid feedstock into a valuable syngas for electricity or liquid fuel production. Actual industrial auto-thermal gasification processes achieve a production of syngas mainly polluted by products such as dust, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and tars. Tars remain, one of the main dra...

Various reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are accompanied by electrons, ultra-violet (UV) radiation, ions, photons, electric fields in non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma. Plasma technology is already used diverse fields, such as biomedicine, dentistry, agriculture, ozone generation, chemical synthesis, surface treatment, coating. Non-thermal plasma also considered a promising environmen...

In this paper we consider a moving quark in the thermal plasma at the N=2 Supergravity theory. By using the AdS/CFT correspondence we obtain energy loss of the quark. Then we consider the higher derivative corrections in charged AdS-black hole and calculate the drag force of the moving quark in the thermal plasma. Also we find a limit which N=2 Supergravity solutions are correspondening to the ...

Within the real-time formalism (RTF) of thermal field theory, we apply the hard thermal loop (HTL) resummation technique to calculating effective two-loop thermodynamic potential in quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and its renormalization. The result with collective effects is obtained, which is valid for an arbitrary number of quark flavors with masses. Keyword: quark-gluon plasma (QGP); finite temper...

The study was conducted with the primary objective to establish the influence of melatonin on adrenocortical functions to ameliorate thermal stress in goats. Endocrine secretions and several other blood biochemical parameters reflecting the animals adrenocortical stress response were determined over a one-week period after goats had been exposed to 40 degrees C and 60%RH for 10 days. The study ...

Sound stress (SS) elicits behavioral changes, including pain behaviors. However, the neuronal mechanisms underlying SS-induced pain behaviors remain to be explored. The current study examined the effects of SS on nociceptive behaviors and changes in expression of the spinal corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system in male Sprague Dawley rats with and without thermal pain. We also studied the...

Thermally excited plasma modes are observed in near-thermal-equilibrium pure electron plasmas over a temperature range of 0.05<kT<5 eV. The measured thermal emission spectra together with a plasma-antenna coupling calibration uniquely determine the temperature. This calibration is obtained from the spectra themselves when absorption of the receiver-generated noise is significant, or from kineti...

The conventional light source used for tooth bleaching has the potential to cause thermal damage, and the actual role of the light source is doubtful. In this study, we evaluated bleaching efficacy, temperature, and morphological safety after tooth bleaching with nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma. Tooth bleaching combined with plasma had improved efficacy in providing a higher level of bri...

Dust acoustic waves are very low frequency modes associated with the dynamics of charged dust in a plasma. These waves have phase speed much smaller than the ion thermal speed and frequencies typically below the dust plasma frequency which can be on the order of hertz to hundreds of hertz for typical lab dusty plasma parameters. When the phase speed of the wave is much larger than the thermal s...

Non-thermal plasmas are emerging as a novel tool for the treatment of living tissues for biological and medical purpose. In this study, we described the effect of 4 min dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma on both T98G cancer and HEK normal cell lines in the presence of different concentrations of osmolytes. This treatment strategy shows a specific inhibitory effect of a 240 s plasma expos...
