Steady-state population densities and electron densities are calculated in a non-equilibrium hydrogen plasma at constant pressure. The ratio of the temperatures of electrons and heavy particles is taken as a parameter. The radiation field of the LYMAN lines is included using a mean absorption coefficient for each transition. The deviations of densities of excited levels and electrons from equilibrium values are very large at low temperatures. The ground state population remains closer to equilibrium until the resonance radiation field vanishes with increasing temperature. Deviations from equilibrium are found to be present even at atmospheric pressure. Detailed results are shown in numerous diagrams for pressures from 0.01 to 1 atmosphere and electron temperatures from 5 × 103 to 4×104°K.

Abstract Detailed calculations of population densities of excited levels in a decaying hydrogen plasma flow predict population inversions within a definite range of plasma parameters. This has been verified experimentally in a rapid expanding plasma where the characteristic time of decay was much shorter than the relaxation time of the ground state. Population inversions have been found for the first transitions of the Paschen and Brackett series

A process of bio-methanol from biogas was studied by modifying kinetic model of reaction’s Richardson and Paripatyadar comparing with laboratory data. Bio-methanol process consists of 2 steps: reforming reaction (at atmospheric pressure, temperature 500 - 750 °C) and methanol synthesis (at constant pressure 40 bar, temperature 140 - 280 °C). The reaction model of each step was individual simulated. Next both steps were integrated, then they were simulated using ASPEN PLUS software. This work investigated the optimum operating condition and predicted result of both reactions. The developing model was obtained, then it was applied for ten thousand liters per day of methanol. The simulation result received from reforming reaction showed increasing temperature effect to rising in CH4 and CO2 conversion and relating with laboratory result. The optimum condition of methanol synthesis is temperature 200 °C under constant pressure 40 bar.

The purpose of our study is to compare the behavior of two reprocessed dental alloys (NiCr and CoCr) at different temperatures considering the idea that food and drinks in the oral cavity create various compositions at different pH levels; the novelty is the investigation of temperature effect on corrosion parameters and ion release of dental alloys. Electrochemical stability was studied together with morphology, elemental composition and ions release determination. The results obtained are in good concordance: electrochemistry studies reveal that the corrosion rate is increasing by increasing the temperature. From SEM coupled with EDS, the oxide film formed on the surface of the alloys is stable at low temperatures and a trend to break after 310K. ICP-MS results evidence that in accordance with increasing temperature, the quantities of ions released from the alloys immersed in artificial saliva also increase, though they still remain small, less than 20 ppm.

AbstractFast moving classical variables can generate quantum mechanical behavior. We demonstrate how this can happen in a model. The key point is that in classically (ontologically) evolving systems one can still define a conserved quantum energy. For the fast variables, the energy levels are far separated, such that one may assume these variables to stay in their ground state. This forces them to be entangled, so that, consequently, the slow variables are entangled as well. The fast variables could be the vacuum fluctuations caused by unknown super heavy particles. The emerging quantum effects in the light particles are expressed by a Hamiltonian that can have almost any form. The entire system is ontological, and yet allows one to generate interference effects in computer models. This seemed to lead to an inexplicable paradox, which is now resolved: exactly what happens in our models if we run a quantum interference experiment in a classical computer is explained. The restriction that very fast variables stay predominantly in their ground state appears to be due to smearing of the physical states in the time direction, preventing their direct detection. Discussions are added of the emergence of quantum mechanics, and the ontology of an EPR/Bell Gedanken experiment.

We report low-temperature Hall coefficient in the normal state of the high-Tc superconductor Bi 2 Sr 2-x La x CuO 6+δ. The Hall coefficient was measured down to 0.5 K by suppressing superconductivity with a 60 T pulsed magnetic field. The carrier concentration was varied from overdoped to underdoped regimes by partially substituting Sr with La in a set of five samples. The observed saturation of the Hall coefficient at low temperatures suggests the ability to extract the carrier concentration of each sample. The most underdoped sample exhibits a diverging Hall coefficient at low temperatures, consistent with a depletion of carriers in the insulating ground state. The Hall number exhibits a sharp peak providing additional support for the existence of a phase boundary at the optimal doping.

The Relationship

Tomato-associated Salmonella outbreaks have recently become a significant food safety concern. Temperature abuse of cut tomatoes may have played a role in some of these outbreaks. The purpose of this study was to develop a mathematical model to describe the growth of Salmonella on cut tomatoes at various temperatures. Four Salmonella serotypes (Typhimurium, Newport, Javiana, and Braenderup) obtained from previous tomato-linked cases of salmonellosis were used in this study. These four serotypes were cultured separately, combined into a cocktail, and inoculated onto whole red round tomatoes and allowed to dry overnight. The tomatoes were then cut into pieces and incubated at a predetermined range of temperatures (10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30, and 35°C). Salmonella concentration was measured at specified time intervals to determine the growth curve for Salmonella on cut tomatoes at each temperature. The growth rates were calculated using DMFit and used to build a mathematical model to illustrate the relationship between the growth rates of Salmonella on tomatoes and incubation temperatures from 10 to 35°C. The resulting model compared favorably with a Salmonella growth model for raw poultry developed by our laboratory. The Pathogen Modeling Program underpredicted growth at low temperatures and overpredicted growth at high temperatures. ComBase predicted consistently slower growth rates than were observed in tomatoes but showed parallel increases in growth rate with increasing temperature.

Quantized Radiation Field

One electron system minimally coupled to a quantized radiation field is considered. It is assumed that the quantized radiation field is massless, and no infrared cutoff is imposed. The Hamiltonian, H, of this system is defined as a self-adjoint operator acting on L2 (ℝ3) ⊗ ℱ ≅ L2 (ℝ3; ℱ), where ℱ is the Boson Fock space over L2 (ℝ3 × {1, 2}). It is shown that the ground state, ψg, of H belongs to [Formula: see text], where N denotes the number operator of ℱ. Moreover, it is shown that for almost every electron position variable x ∈ ℝ3 and for arbitrary k ≥ 0, ‖(1 ⊗ Nk/2) ψg (x)‖ℱ ≤ Dk e-δ|x|m+1 with some constants m ≥ 0, Dk > 0, and δ > 0 independent of k. In particular [Formula: see text] for 0 < β < δ/2 is obtained.

ABSTRACTA high-density non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma (NEAPP) applied for inactivating fungal spores of P. digitatum is introduced as an environmentally safe and rapid-inactivation method. The contributions of ozone, ultra violet (UV) radiation and ground-state atomic oxygen in the NEAPP on the inactivation of the spores are evaluated using colony count method.The absolute densities of ozone were measured by using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. The ozone density increased from 2 to 8 ppm with an increase in the distance from the plasma source, while the inactivation rate decreased. The inactivation rate of plasma was evaluated to be thousand times higher than that of an ozone generator using the integrated number density of ozone. In addition, it was clarified that the contribution of UV radiation to inactivation was not dominant for P. digitatum inactivation by NEAPP by filtering the active species using quartz plate. From these results, we can speculate that the inactivation efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) will be larger than those of others.In order to investigate the effect of ground-state atomic oxygen as one of ROS, the inactivation of P. digitatum spores using an oxygen radical source that employs a high-density atmospheric-pressure O2/Ar plasma. The absolute O density was measured to be 1.4×1014 and 1.5×1015 cm–3 using vacuum ultra violet absorption spectroscopy (VUVAS) using a microdischarge hollow cathode lamp. The behaviors of the O densities as a function of O2/(Ar+O2) mixture flow rate ratio correspond to that of the inactivation rate. This result indicates that ground-state atomic oxygen is concluded to be the dominant species that causes inactivation.
