DBD low-temperature plasma (DLTP) is recognized as one of the most efficient technologies for treating cotton stalks. This study investigates the impact of various conditions on the gas production characteristics of cotton stalks (CS) and delves into the DLTP decomposition kinetics of CS and CSC in oxygen-enriched (30 % O/Ar) and CO atmospheres. The decomposition rates of CS followed the order CO > N > Ar. The decomposition behavior of CSC in oxygen-enriched DLTP (30 % O/Ar) aligned well with the chemical reaction model. The activation energies for CSC decomposition at 900 °C and 1000 °C were determined to be 23.8 kJ/mol and 33.8 kJ/mol, respectively. Moreover, the reaction rate decreased at higher carbonization temperatures, which proved to be detrimental to the decomposition of CSC. The DLTP decomposition of CSC in CO exhibited consistency with the fitting results of the unreacted shrinking core model, revealing an observed activation energy of 19.4 kJ/mol.

Surface Hydrophilic Modification of Polypropylene by Nanosecond Pulsed Ar/O Dielectric Barrier Discharge.

Polypropylene (PP) membranes have found diverse applications, such as in wastewater treatment, lithium-ion batteries, and pharmaceuticals, due to their low cost, excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. However, the intrinsic hydrophobicity of PP materials leads to membrane fouling and filtration flux reduction, which greatly hinders the applications of PP membranes. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is an effective technique for surface modification of materials because it generates a large area of low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure.

PqsE and RhlR, key regulators of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing (QS) system, form a hetero-tetrameric complex essential for controlling the expression of virulence factors such as pyocyanin. The interaction between the PqsE homodimer and the RhlR homodimer bound to C4-HSL, enables RhlR to bind low-affinity promoters, thereby influencing gene regulation. Recent studies suggest that RhlR transcriptional activity is modulated by temperature, exhibiting higher activity at environmental temperatures (25 °C) compared to mammalian body temperature (37 °C).

Article Synopsis
- Cold piezoelectric plasma (CPP) is a new cancer treatment method that can lead to cancer cell death and the development of portable treatment devices, specifically targeting cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
- In vitro experiments use two types of CPP devices, corona discharge (Pz-CD) and dielectric barrier discharge (Pz-DBD), with Pz-CD delivering more power but both generating significant reactive species.
- CPP shows immediate effects like remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton and long-term effects through activation of the DNA damage response pathway, suggesting its potential as an effective antitumor therapy.

Article Synopsis
- * The presence of SiO glass beads in the system improved discharge efficiency, resulting in a 39.02% increase in discharge charge and a 15% increase in output power compared to using plasma alone.
- * The catalyst created a 'microreaction zone' that enhanced gas turbulence and optimized CO conversion, reaching ratios of 20.64% for CO conversion, 15.74% for CO generation, and improving energy efficiency to 1.864%, while facilitating the generation of excited-state CO and oxygen vacancies.

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma can be used to control food spoilage and food pathogens. However, DBD plasma may induce sublethal injury in microorganisms, constituting a considerable risk to food safety. This research was designed to investigate the sublethal injury and recovery of Escherichia coli O157:H7 after DBD plasma treatment.
