Abstract The first results of the numerical simulation of the Pulse-Periodic Nanosecond discharge in pin-to-pin configuration in 2Dt approximation of the full self-consist system of Navier-Stocks equation for real thermo-chemically non-equilibrium gases, drift-diffusion approximation of the low temperature plasma evolution in external electric and magnetic field and, alternative – arc (spark) discharge model of high-density energy input discharge. The intuitive criteria of the alternative discharge models re-switch are proposed and tested. The pin-to-pin the pulse-periodic nanosecond 5-MHz discharge has been considered for 1 microsecond interval. It was found that rather strong longitudinal non-uniformities of main physical parameters are created at the first corona stage of the interelectrode conducting channel. These nonuniformities reveal long-lived features that have define strong effect on the discharge performance

Sterilization of municipal waste for a raw material for the production of refuse-derived fuel and to protect surface and ground waters against biological contamination during transfer and storage creates a lot of problems. This paper evaluates the antimicrobial potential of non-equilibrium plasma in relation to the selected groups of microorganisms found in humid waste. The proposed research is to determine whether mixed municipal waste used for the production of alternative fuels can be sterilized effectively using low-temperature plasma generated in a gliding arc discharge reactor in order to prevent water contamination and health risk for working staff. This work assesses whether plasma treatment of raw materials in several process variants effectively eliminates or reduces the number of selected groups of microorganisms living in mixed municipal waste. The presence of vegetative bacteria and endospores, mold fungi, actinobacteria Escherichia coli, and facultative pathogens, i.e., Staphylococcus spp., Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Enterococcus faecalis and Clostridium perfringens in the tested material was microbiologically analyzed. It was found that the plasma treatment differently contributes to the elimination of various kinds of microorganisms in the analyzed raw materials. The effectiveness of sterilization depended mainly on the time of raw materials contact with low-temperature plasma. The results are very promising and require further research to optimize the proposed hygienization process.

Abstract We present the first results obtained from an extensive study of eclipsing binary (EB) system candidates recently detected in the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) near-infrared (NIR) Survey. We analyse the VVV tile d040 in the southern part of the Galactic disc wherein the interstellar reddening is comparatively low, which makes it possible to detect hundreds of new EB candidates. We present here the light curves and the determination of the geometric and physical parameters of the best candidates found in this ‘NIR window’, including 37 contact, 50 detached, and 13 semi-detached EB systems. We infer that the studied systems have an average of the $K_s$ amplitudes of $0.8$ mag and a median period of 1.22 days where, in general, contact binaries have shorter periods. Using the ‘Physics Of Eclipsing Binaries’ (PHOEBE) interactive interface, which is based on the Wilson and Devinney code, we find that the studied systems have low eccentricities. The studied EBs present mean values of about 5 700 and 4 900 K for the $T_1$ and $T_2$ components, respectively. The mean mass ratio (q) for the contact EB stars is $\sim$ 0.44. This new galactic disk sample is a first look at the massive study of NIR EB systems.
