This paper reports on the effect of the micro-morphological characteristics of stainless steel electrodes on vacuum breakdown properties under the action of a strong electric field generated by high-power electric pulses. Using chemical passivation modification and atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology, alumina composite films were prepared on the surface of the stainless steel electrodes to reshape the surface microstructure of the electrodes. The surface morphology features of the electrodes were characterized in detail. Based on fractal theory, a fractal model based on the box dimensional method was proposed to quantitatively describe the morphological and structural characteristics of the film, and its relationship with the vacuum breakdown properties was established. The results indicated that the fractal dimension effectively reflected the complexity of the electrode morphology and could serve as a key parameter to evaluate the vacuum breakdown performance of the electrodes, which showed a negative correlation with the change tendency of the electrode breakdown threshold.

The present study aims to develop and characterize cannabidiol (CBD) solid dispersions using Vacuum Compression Molding (VCM) to enhance the drug solubility and release profile. Solid dispersions of CBD and polymers were processed using VCM at 130 °C for 4 min after a prior physical mixing. Five percent w/w of CBD was used with 5% w/w of poloxamer 188 and 90% w/w of polymeric carrier (Polyethylene Oxide, PEO-N80 or Hydroxypropyl cellulose, HPCEF).

Prunus mume, the only plant in the genus Prunus of the Rosaceae family with a distinctive floral scent, can release a large number of aromatic substances into the air when it blooms. Among these, benzyl acetate has been recognized as a characteristic aromatic substance. In this study, we extracted and analyzed the change in volatility and endogenous content of benzyl acetate using the 'Caizhiwufen' P.

Unstable and destructive behaviors in the thermo-field electron emission by micro- and nano-metric structures typically lead to vacuum breakdowns, hindering the experimental exploration of the phenomenon. To address this challenge, numerical models are employed. In our previous publication, a detailed investigation of the emitter self-heating revealed the possibility of a discontinuity in the increase of the emission current and temperature with the applied electric.

Action potentials of individual nerve axons are the electrical signals that propagate nervous information quickly around the brain and the body. This essay discusses milestones, from the definition of electricity in 1600 to the recent elucidation of the molecular structures of ion channels and membrane proteins that underlie action potential initiation and propagation. There were several key steps.
