In the field of aviation and aerospace research, it’s crucial to understand how low-pressure, high-altitude conditions affect the human body. These studies can help ensure the safety and efficiency of flight and space crew selection and training.

Do you ever feel like your life is chaotic? Life can feel very busy and fast-paced, and there’s always something that easily grabs our attention and distracts us from what we’re doing.  Today we receive so many alerts, messages, emails, and phone calls; it’s no wonder why we see so many people glued to their smartphones. In fact, I am sure you may have noticed people walking across pedestrian crossings while looking at their phones. It’s great to see that they mak

Biocatalysis involves using natural substances, such as enzymes, from biological sources or entire cells which make chemical reactions more rapid. Enzymes are a critical element in the catalysis of a large number of reactions. This includes the production of alcohol from fermentation and the production of cheese by the breakdown of milk proteins. Many biocatalytic processes have been implemented across a range of chemical, pharma, agriculture, and food industries and this article will outline

The research of atmospheric plasma’s use for medical treatments has gathered apace over recent years.  Plasma comprises charged particles as well as a range of other active components that are thought to interact with the body to produce desired affects in plasma medicine such as; electric current, UV radiation and reactive gas species these components are thought to be able to act synergistically.

In in vivo and in vitro experiments, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-

Abstract
A very low secondary electron yield is confirmed to be the fingerprint of laser treated copper substrates. In future high energy particle accelerators, this feature offers unquestionable advantages for electron cloud mitigation purposes. Thermal programmed desorption between 20 and 70 K by dosing Ar multilayers of different thicknesses on a laser treated copper substrate and on its flat counterpart are here reported. The results show that, as a consequence of th

SIMS can be used to confirm the presence of a drug or to make brand identification where different formulations exist; a branded product may contain additional substances or a counterfeit product could show contamination.

The presence of binding, dehydrating or filling agents can also provide a unique fingerprint. Here, Al and Na come from the pill forming material. The high sensitivity of the analyser allows very low beam currents to be employed, keeping below the static SIMS limit p
