Two types of ground electrodes were evaluated....The combination of pulsed positive streamer corona discharge with a platinum–rhodium catalyst was investigated for removal of toluene, acetonitrile, and nitrogen oxides. Significant differences were noted between diffusion coefficients in the viable epidermis and the hair follicles for all cases. Tallahassee, Florida Area. We are interested in the degradation of a wide range of water and air pollutants for water treatment and we have other work to form nitrogen products for use as fertilizer using only air and water for applications in farming.Post-metamorphic growth in the blue crab entails an increase in body mass that spans several orders of magnitude. The work in Professor Locke's lab deals with the development and analysis of gas-liquid plasma chemical reactors for applications in environmental and chemical engineering. The free radical scavenging property of carbonate ions was used to determine the initiation rate constants for the formation of hyd...The effects of axial and normal applied electrical fields on the transport of solutes in Poiseuille flows is investigated using the area average approach to the microscopic conservation equations. The chemistry induced by the pulsed streamer corona in the aqueous phase involves several reactions and i...Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFGNMR) measurements of oligonucleotide (poly-thymidine, T1 to T30) self-diffusion coefficients in gels of Pluronic [poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)−poly(propylene oxide) (PPO)−poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)] micelles follow the Zimm scaling theory that predicts the diffusion coefficient to vary with solute...A new design for gas phase pulsed corona reactors incorporating Case 1 accounts for electrophoretic transport in a two-phase system where both phases may be electrically conductive and the medium is uncharged, and...The chemical reactions of nitric oxide decomposition in a pulsed streamer corona discharge were studied through the use of isotopically labeled nitric oxide, N(15)O. Approximately 50–95% removal of TCE and vinyl chloride was observed, depending on the energy density applied to the gas. Under these conditions, the viable epidermis appeared to swell, and this result corresponded to observations from scanning electron microscopy and other research from the literature. Analysis of b...Intracellular diffusive transport of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is critical to cellular metabolism. This electrode geometry produces streamers that propagate in High voltage electrical fields, i.e., 220 V 1 ms pulses repeated once per second, appeared to hydrate the stratum corneum as is consistent with published literature on electroporation. Statistical analysis at the 95% confidence level for the comparison of the average differences between diffusion coefficients with the electrical field on and with the electrical field off for pair matched pixels for the viable epidermis show that for 5 V (p = 0.00377), 10 V (p = 0.0108), 20 V (p = 0.0219) regimes there are statistically significant (p < or = 0.05) changes due to the applied electric field. In the case of iontophoresis, water self-diffusion coefficients in the epidermis and hair follicle regions at all voltages were affected by the electrical field. JP-8+100 is a new jet fuel recently introduced by US Air Force in some of its locations. Significant differences were noted between diffusion coefficients in the viable epidermis and the hair follicles for all cases.The structure of polyacrylamide gels was studied using proton spin-lattice relaxation and PFG dif...The structure of polyacrylamide gels was studied using proton spin-lattice relaxation and PFG diffusion methods. reactors.
