Cluster of galaxies are the largest concentrations of visible mass in the Universe and therefore a fundamental topic of cosmology and astrophysics. Recent radio, EUV, and X-ray observations suggest that clusters contain large populations of diffuse non-thermal relativistic and/or superthermal particles. These particles may be produced by acceleration in cluster merger shocks, AGNs, and/or super...

The set point has been used to define the regulated level of body temperature, suggesting that displacements of core temperature from the set point initiate heat production (HP) and heat loss (HL) responses. Human and animal experiments have demonstrated that the responses of sweating and shivering do not coincide at a set point but rather establish a thermoeffector threshold zone. Neurophysiol...

Cluster of galaxies are the largest concentration of visible mass in the universe and therefore a fundamental topic of cosmology and astrophysics. Recent radio, EUV, and X-ray observations suggest that clusters contain large populations of diiuse non-thermal relativistic and/or superthermal particles. These particles may be produced by acceleration in cluster merger shocks, AGNs, and/or superno...

A series of experiments were performed for toluene decomposition from a gaseous influent at normal temperature and atmospheric pressure by nonthermal plasma coupled with a combination of catalysts technology. Nonthermal plasma was generated by dielectric barrier discharge. γ-Al2O3 was used to be a sorbent and a catalyst carrier. Nanocatalysts were MnO2/γ-Al2O3 coupled with modified ferroelectri...

  Propagation of dust ion acoustic waves in plasmas composed of nonthermal distributed electrons and stationary dust particles is investigated. Nonlinear Schrdinger equation is derived to describe small amplitude waves, using the reduction perturbation technique. Modulation instability of dust ion acoustic waves is analysed for this system. Parametric investigation indicates that growth rate of...

At the rst stage of reheating after in ation, parametric resonance may rapidly transfer most of the energy of an in aton eld to the energy of other bosons. We show that quantum uctuations of scalar and vector elds produced at this stage are much greater than they would be in a state of thermal equilibrium. This leads to cosmological phase transitions of a new type, which may result in a copious...

Recent developments in the study of radio emission from cool stars are reviewed. The eld of stellar radio astronomy would barely exist if active cool stars were similar to the Sun. However, many active stars appear to be fundamentally diierent from the Sun in that they possess a nonthermal corona which produces strong and steady radio emission. That is, in addition to the thermal populations at...

We have computed the Lyman continuum intensities for different flare circumstances, namely, the temperature rise in the chromosphere, the downward shift of the transition region, and the nonthermal effect of a precipitating beam of electrons. All the three factors can enhance the intensity by various amounts. The third effect additionally lowers the color temperature of the Lyman continuum. It ...
