We report a novel form of the gaseous state at the interface of water and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) that is induced by local supersaturation of gas. Such local supersaturation of gas next to the HOPG substrate can be achieved by (1) displacing an organic liquid with a gentle flow of water, (2) displacing cold water (approximately 0 degrees C) with a gentle flow of warm water (ap...

Over the last few years, the variation in liquid chemistry due to the development of radicals generated by cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has played an important role in plasma medicine. CAP direct treatment or CAP activated media treatment in cancer cells shows promising anticancer activity for both in vivo and in vitro studies. However, the anticancer activity or antimicrobial activity varies ...

This paper makes the case for negotiating a common international charge on greenhouse gas emissions (“carbon”) as opposed to global cap-andtrade. All countries would be covered in principle, but a much smaller number that covered most of the emissions would suffice. The charge would be internationally adjusted from time to time, and each country would collect and keep the revenue it generated b...

The article comprises of the results research work on a solution for injecting water into gas cap in field located shelf Caspian Sea. A practically significant approach has been identified, concept was developed, as well necessary conditions pumping cap. An analysis impact injection wells ringing carried out. efficiency monitoring program developed.

Traditional breast cancer treatments such as surgery and radiotherapy contain many inherent limitations with regards to incomplete and nonselective tumor ablation. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is an ionized gas where the ion temperature is close to room temperature. It contains electrons, charged particles, radicals, various excited molecules, UV photons and transient electric fields. These va...

The main challenge for gas storage and separation in nanoporous materials is that many molecules of interest adsorb too weakly to be effectively retained. Instead of synthetically modifying the internal surface structure of the entire bulk-as is typically done to enhance adsorption-here we show that post exposure of a prototypical porous metal-organic framework to ethylenediamine can effectivel...

California is a leader among states in its efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Under the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32), the state has set itself on a course to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. In addition to its cap-and-trade program, California aims to accomplish this objective via a large assortment of complementary...
