Arc discharge of a hot cathode bucket ion source tends to be unstable what attributes to the filament self-heating and energetic electrons backstreaming from the accelerator. A regulation method, which based on the ion density measurement by a Langmuir probe, is employed for stable arc discharge operation and long pulse ion beam generation. Long pulse arc discharge of 100 s is obtained based on this regulation method of arc power. It establishes a foundation for the long pulse arc discharge of a megawatt ion source, which will be utilized a high power neutral beam injection device.

Background: Late side effects of head and neck cancer treatment commonly affect swallowing function. Late radiation-associated dysphagia (late-RAD) often presents years post-treatment when patients have been discharged from their multidisciplinary team. Timely symptom management may provide important physical and emotional support, potentially reducing the overall healthcare burden.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed a new catalyst layer using 3D porous B-doped graphene integrated with ultra-low platinum (Pt) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), aiming to improve activity and durability.
  • The Pt/3D-PBG configuration achieved a maximum power density of 0.90 W/cm² while meeting the Department of Energy's 2025 targets, which is a significant breakthrough.
  • The integration of boron (B) dopants enhances both the deposition of Pt and its electronic interaction, resulting in better performance and stability of the fuel cell at lower amounts of platinum.

Aim: Due to the absence of validated bleeding risk tools in cancer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), we aimed to validate an adapted version of the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) High Bleeding Risk (HBR) criteria.

Methods: Consecutive patients with active or remission cancer undergoing PCI between 2012 and 2022 at Mount Sinai Hospital (New York, USA) were included. Patients were considered at HBR if they met at least one of the major ARC-HBR criteria, other than cancer, or two minor criteria.

AC Plasmas Directly Excited in Liquid-Phase Hydrocarbons for H and Unsaturated C Hydrocarbon Production.

J Am Chem Soc

December 2024

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, United States.

AC plasmas directly excited within liquid hydrocarbons were investigated for the production of hydrogen and unsaturated C hydrocarbon in a recirculating liquid "jet" flow configuration. Arc discharges were excited at two different frequencies (60 Hz and 17.3 kHz) in C-C hydrocarbons (hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, and xylene) to produce H, CH, CH, and CH, along with liquid and solid carbon byproducts.

The widespread use of silver nanoparticles in many industries is increasing every year. Along with this use, there is growing concern about the potential unintentional exposure of human and animal organisms to these nanomaterials. It has been shown that AgNPs have the ability to penetrate organisms and can have harmful effects on cells and organs in the body.
