Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Using Bayesian Model Selection to Advise Neutron Reflectometry Analysis from Langmuir-Blodgett Monolayers

, 2019
The analysis of neutron and X-ray reflectometry data is important for the study of interfacial soft matter structures. However, there is still substantial discussion regarding the analytical modelsthat should be used to rationalise relflectometry data ...

Can GNSS-R Detect Abrupt Water Level Changes?

Remote Sensing, 2020
Global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) uses signals of opportunity in a bi-static configuration of L-band microwave radar to retrieve environmental variables such as water level.

Low‐Frequency Oscillation Suppression of FDR Time‐Domain Diagnostic Waveforms for Cable Defects Based on Splicing Technology

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A time domain pulse (TDP) based on the frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) method can be used to diagnose the insulation state of cable defects. However, because of the limitations of the FDR test instrument, the lack of a reflection coefficient spectrum (RCS) in the low‐frequency band (LFB) can result in low frequency oscillation in the time

Review of Catenary Icing on High‐Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon, which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains.

Trojan-horse attacks threaten the security of practical quantum cryptography

New Journal of Physics, 2014
A quantum key distribution (QKD) system may be probed by an eavesdropper Eve by sending in bright light from the quantum channel and analyzing the back-reflections. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a setup for mounting such a Trojan-horse attack.

Gate reflectometry in dense quantum dot arrays

New Journal of Physics, 2023
Silicon quantum devices are maturing from academic single- and two-qubit devices to industrially-fabricated dense quantum-dot (QD) arrays, increasing operational complexity and the need for better pulsed-gate and readout techniques.
