Low-power rf plasma sources for technological applications: I. Plasma sources without a magnetic field

A general analytical theory is developed and numerical simulations are carried out of cylindrical plasma sources operating at an industrial frequency of f=13.56 MHz ω=8.52×10⁷ s⁻¹). Purely inductive surface exciters of electromagnetic fields (exciting antennas) are considered; the exciters are positioned either at the side surface of the cylinder or at one of its end surfaces. In the latter case, the plasma flows out of the source through the opposite end of the cylinder. A study is made of both elongated systems in which the length L of the cylinder exceeds its diameter 2R and planar disk-shaped systems with L<2R. The electromagnetic fields excited by the antenna in the plasma of the source are determined, and the equivalent plasma resistance, as well as the equivalent rf power deposited in the plasma, is calculated.     

A regularity criterion for 3D Navier–Stokes equations via one component of velocity and vorticity

In this paper we show that a Leray–Hopf weak solution u to 3D Navier–Stokes initial value problem is smooth if there is some \(\alpha \in {{{\mathbb {R}}}}, \alpha \ne 0,\) such that \(\alpha u_3+(-\Delta )^{-1/2}\omega _3\) is suitably smooth, where \(\omega =\text {curl}\,u\).

The roles of phytochemicals in bronchial asthma

Despite gaps in our knowledge of how phytochemicals interfere with cellular functions, several natural plant products are utilized to prevent or treat a wide range of diseases. Identification of an agent with therapeutic potential requires multiple steps involving in vitro studies, efficacy and toxicity studies in animal models, and then human clinical trials. This review provides a brief introduction on natural products that may help to treat and/or prevent bronchial asthma and describes our current understanding of their molecular mechanisms based on various in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. We focus on the anti-inflammatory and anti-vascular actions of the plant products and other roles beyond the anti-oxidative effects.     

Bonding and correlation analysis of various Si2CO isomers on the potential energy surface

At various levels of theory, singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces (PESs) of Si₂CO, which has been studied using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy, are investigated in detail. A total of 30 isomers and 38 interconversion transition states are obtained at the B3LYP/6‐311G(d) level. At the higher CCSD(T)/6‐311+G(2d)//QCISD/6‐311G(2d)+ZPVE level, the global minimum ¹1 (0.0 kcal/mol) corresponds to a three‐membered ring singlet O‐cCSiSi (¹A′). On the singlet PES, the species ¹2 (0.2 kcal/mol) is a bent SiCSiO structure with a ¹A′ electronic state, followed by a three‐membered ring isomer Si‐cCSiO (¹A′) ¹3 (23.1 kcal/mol) and a linear SiCOSi ¹4 (¹Σ⁺) (38.6 kcal/mol). The isomers ¹1, ¹2, ¹3 , and ¹4 possess not only high thermodynamic stabilities, but also high kinetic stabilities. On the triplet PES, two isomers ³1 (³B₂) (18.8 kcal/mol) and ³7 (³A″) (23.3 kcal/mol) also have high thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities. The bonding natures of the relevant species are analyzed. The similarities and differences between C₃O, C₃S, SiC₂O, and SiC₂S are discussed. The present results are also expected to be useful for understanding the initial growing step of the CO‐doped Si vaporization processes. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2009     

Synthesis and positive inotropic evaluation of 1-(benzylamino)-3-(4,5-di-hydro[1,2,4]trizaolo[4,3-a]quinolin-7-yloxy)propan-2-ol derivatives

In an attempt to search for more potent positive inotropic agents,a series of 1-(benzylamino)-3-(4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]trizaolo[4,3- a]quinolin-7-yloxy)propan-2-ol derivatives was synthesized in four steps using 6-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone as a starting material,and their positive inotropic activities were evaluated by measuring the coronary blood flow(CBF)and the left ventricular pressure(LVP)followed by calculating the rate of pressure development(dp/dt_(max)values)in the preparation of rat Lan...
