Observations by the Ulysses SWOOPS plasma experiment are used to investigate spatial and temporal gradients during the mission, with emphasis on more recent high latitude observations including the recent South Pole to North Pole passage during solar minimum. Compared to lower latitudes, the high latitude solar wind had higher average speed, proton temperature, and momentum flux, and lower numb...

An efficient measurement methodology is proposed to construct the scattering parameters of a multi-port device using a four-port vector network analyzer (VNA) without the external un-terminated ports. By using the four-port VNA, the reflected waves from the un-terminated ports could be minimized. The proposed method significantly enhances the accuracy of the S-parameters with less number of mea...

This paper concerns the reconstruction of the absorption and scattering parameters in a time-dependent linear transport equation from full knowledge of the albedo operator at the boundary of a bounded domain of interest. We present optimal stability results on the reconstruction of the absorption and scattering parameters for a given error in the measured albedo operator.

Electron temperature and electron concentration in the active zone of a miniaturized radio frequency (RF) non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet in argon have been determined using two independent approaches: the spectroscopic measurement of the broadening of Balmer Hβ and Hγ lines and a time-dependent, spatially two-dimensional fluid model of a single discharge filament. The plasma source...

Alteration of plasma lipid profile and induction of lipid peroxidation may take place due to drug effect, which may be correlated with adverse drug reactions and drug-induced toxicity. Considering this fact, the present in vivo study was carried out to evaluate the effect of clindamycin on plasma lipid profile and peroxidation parameters alone and in combination with ascorbic acid, a promising ...

Measured relative densities as a function of O2 addition in a CH3F/O2 inductively coupled plasma changed abruptly for H, O, and particularly F atoms (factor of 4) at 48% O2. A corresponding transition was observed in electron density, effective electron temperature, and gas temperature, as well as in C, CF, and CH optical emission. These abrupt transitions were attributed to the reactor wall re...

Electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs) have been measured in a cylindrical inductively coupled plasma (ICP) with a planar coil over a wide range of external parameters (argon pressure, discharge power and driving frequency). The measurements were performed under well-defined discharge conditions (discharge geometry, rf power absorbed by plasma, external electrical characteristics and el...
