Dear Students, Colleagues and Friends,

We will be having our next DPI seminar. Please see below for more details.

Title of Presentation: COMPARISON OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT APPLICATION OF NON-THERMAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE DIELECTRIC BARRIER DISCHARGE PLASMA TO TISSUES AND CELLS

Presenter: Greg Fridman

Date: Thursday, March 1st, 2007 at 3:30.

Abstract: Direct and indirect influence on micro-organisms of non-thermal atmospheric pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge in air is compared in terms of bacteria inactivation rates. It is demonstrated that direct influence of the plasma, where charged particles contact bacteria directly, produces inactivation much faster than the indirect treatment, where plasma afterglow is delivered to the bacteria with a gas flow through the plasma region. This leads to an important conclusion that the effect of charged particles in plasma plays the essential role in interaction with living organisms, although synergy with longer living active molecules and atoms as well as UV radiation generated in plasma and at the surface of tissue may also play a role in inactivation.

Hope you are able to attend.
