We report a simple room-temperature synthesis route for increasing the reactivity of TiO2 photocatalyst using solution plasma process (SPP). Hydrogen radicals generated from SPP chamber interact with feedstock, transforming its crystalline phase and introducing oxygen vacancy defects. In this work, we examined pure anatase as model feedstock because photocatalytic attributes well-characterized properties. After treatment, was transformed to an anatase/brookite heterocrystalline vacancies....
PAW is effective in inactivating microorganisms. We have measured a local pH to reveal the mechanism of algicidal effect PAW. This because protons pumped from cell generate peroxynitrite around an acidic region.

These different conditions resulted in formation both nanocrystalline microcrystalline films. Synthesized characterized by Raman...
To improve the phase noise of a ring voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), we describe two 1/ f-noise reduction techniques, which are switched bias circuit (SBC) and current source (CS) operating in triode region.
