Blends of hydrogen (H2) and ammonia (NH3) can potentially serve as drop-in replacements for natural gas in some power generation systems. To address adoption hurdles including the on-site NH3 mitigation NOx, a dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) reactor has been used several different configurations. Concurrently, NOx emissions laminar burning velocities have explored over wide range blend equivalence ratios constant volume combustion chamber. The preliminary results show that non-thermal...
Research on the correlation between metal levels in blood and Covid-19 infection has been conducted primarily by assessing how each individual is linked to different aspects of disease using samples from donors with various severity infection. Using logistics regression LIBS spectra plasma collected pre- post- pandemic known have developed antibodies SARS-Cov-2 virus, we show that relying Na, K, Mg together more efficient at differentiating two types than any single alone.
Abstract While the absence of carbon makes ammonia (NH3) a promising alternative fuel, some challenges need to be addressed before commercial implementation in practical systems such as gas turbines or internal combustion engines. One potential obstacle is an increase NOx and N2O emissions due fuel-bound nitrogen ammonia. This study investigates reduction from NH3 through staged combustion, incorporating features exhaust recirculation, where two distinct ignition events occur at disparate...
Abstract Introduction Mavacamten, a first-in-class selective inhibitor of cardiac myosin, was demonstrated in EXPLORER-HCM (NCT03470545) to be superior placebo achieving primary endpoint either (1) ≥1.5 mL/kg/min increase peak oxygen consumption (pVO2) and at least one New York Heart Association (NYHA) class reduction, or (2) ≥3.0 pVO2 without NYHA worsening, adults with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). However, the observed benefits mavacamten were broader than endpoint,...
Background: Bone erosions are associated with poor prognosis in patients (pts) RA. They can be subclinical inflammation and independently predict future radiological damage. 1 The Phase IIIb A ssessing V ery E arly R T reatment (AVERT)-2 ( NCT02504268 ) trial evaluated abatacept (ABA)+MTX MTX-naïve, ACPA+ pts early 2 Objectives: To explore the impact of baseline (BL) X-ray erosion scores (ES) on clinical response damage over yr different groups from AVERT-2. Methods: BL Wk 52 data were using...
Abstract Ammonia synthesis via non-thermal plasma presents advantages over the Haber-Bosch process, particularly for small-scale and distributed operations powered by intermittent electricity from renewable energy sources. We designed characterized a membrane Dielectric-Barrier Discharge (mDBD) reactor ammonia nitrogen hydrogen. The used porous alumina as dielectric barrier distributor of H 2 . This arrangement enabled greater residence time N decomposition together with availability in...
Research on the correlation between bio-metal levels in blood and Covid-19 has been conducted primarily by assessing how each individual is linked to different aspects of disease. Instead relying a single approach, we study that focused combined effects four bio-metals differentiation plasma samples from pre-pandemic donors known developed antibodies SARS-Cov-2 virus. Using machine learning laser spectroscopy data, obtain higher patients than when considered separately. This suggests...
Nanoparticle-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and Tag-LIBS are two approaches that have been shown to significantly enhance LIBS sensitivity specificity. In an effort combine both of these approaches, we initiated a study on the effect presence Silver nanoparticle concentrations Europium (Eu) Ytterbium (Yb) signals. We observe signal enhancement emission lines about 10 12 times for lines. This shows enhanced differently; neutral ionized species while only species. Additionally,...
Abstract Even though usage of hydrogen (H2) in the energy sector has gained a considerable amount traction over last decade, its high flame speed restricts feasibility as drop-in replacement for existing fuels applications such internal combustion engines and gas turbines. In order to address some potential issues, ammonia (NH3) can be used conjunction with hydrogen, slow reaction kinetics offset that H2 without compromising decarbonization efforts. However, simply replacing natural...
Ammonia is primarily used for agricultural fertilizer production to sustain 40% of the global population, and it can have a primary role as carbon-free fuel in hard-to-decarbonize sectors, such long-haul aviation maritime transport. synthesis using non-thermal plasma has potential be more viable than established approaches (e.g., Haber-Bosch process), particularly distributed operations [1]–[3]. This study presents design performance assessment membrane Dielectric-Barrier Discharge (DBD)...
Background: The semi-quantitative Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Psoriatic Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (PsAMRIS) was developed for the evaluation of inflammatory and destructive changes PsA, 1 but has limited trial usage. Objectives: To retrospectively utilise PsAMRIS a multi-dose, randomised Phase IIb study abatacept patients with PsA who have inadequate response to DMARDs ( NCT00534313 ). 2 Methods: Patients were (3, 10 or 30/10 mg/kg [the 30-mg/kg group switched...
