Plasma Proteolytic Activity following Burns

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988
Because a number of metabolic events which are triggered by proteolysis in the bloodstream are activated following trauma, net proteolytic activity (P.A.) in the plasma of 37 pediatric burned patients was measured. The P.A. assay involved incubating plasma with a radioiodinated protein substrate and counting the isotopic activity of the hydrolyzed ...

ITER: opportunity of burning plasma studies

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2001
ITER is planned to be the first fusion experiment operating under reactor-relevant conditions. The following requirements are given: ITER should (1) achieve extended burn in inductively driven plasma at Q ≥ 10, whilst not precluding the possibility of controlled ignition, (2) aim at demonstrating steady-state operation using non-inductive current drive

Plasma prokallikrein and kininogens in burned patients

Thrombosis Research, 1986
Using specific immunological (1) and enzymatic (2) methods, we have measured prokallikrein, total, high, and low molecular weight kininogens in 36 severely burned patients. At admission to the intensive care unit, all constituents were significantly decreased when compared to previously defined reference intervals.

Neopterin plasma levels in burn patients

Burns, 1992
Burn victims have severely depressed cellular immunity and despite careful hygiene, antibiotics and early surgical therapy the infection rate remains high. The assessment of plasma neopterin levels can be considered as an indirect measurement of macrophage function, because activation of macrophages is accompanied by the release of D-erythro-neopterin.

Characteristics of Plasma Extracellular SOD in Burned Patients

Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 2000
The aim of this study was to examine three types of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in plasma after burns, and especially to clarify the characteristics of plasma extracellular SOD (EC-SOD) in burned patients. A total of 71 blood samples were collected from 18 patients on arrival, day 1, day 3 and day 5 after burns. We measured three types of SOD (Mn, Cu/Zn,

Dilaton-field burning in plasma

Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics Letters, 2002
We propose a mechanism for the effective transformation of dilaton-field energy in field stars into relativisticplasma energy and radiation. The mechanism suggests initial transformation of the energy of an inhomogeneous dilaton field into electric-field energy followed by its dissipation into relativistic-plasma energy.

Burning Plasma—Wall Interactions

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
We have studied chemical sputtering, hydrogen retention and other products of particle‐surface interactions in the least known, intermediate‐to‐low range of impact energies (1–30 eV/D), with atomic and molecular projectiles of deuterated amorphous carbon surfaces.

Burn Baby Burn: Igniting a Plasma, and Properties

Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Research Conference Proceedings, 2016
The purpose of the Flame Plasma experiment is to measure the electron density in an intensified propane flame. This is done by sweeping a Langmuir probe through the flame, and measuring the resulting current and voltage through it. The properties of the Langmuir probe and flame plasma are further analyzed.

A neutron camera for burning plasmas

Review of Scientific Instruments, 1992
Profile diagnosis of tokamak plasmas with neutron cameras is discussed, especially with regard to neutron detection limitations and possibilities in burning DT plasmas. A new detection method based on the magnetic proton recoil spectrometer technique is presented.

MHD control in burning plasmas

Nuclear Fusion, 2012
Fusion physics focuses on the complex behaviour of hot plasmas confined by magnetic fields with the ultimate aim to develop a fusion power plant. In the future generation of tokamaks like ITER, the power generated by the fusion reactions substantially exceeds the external input power (Pfusion}/Pin ⩾ 10). When this occurs one speaks of a burning plasma.
