For a comprehensive physics analysis, the electromagnetic modes constructing the coupled space harmonics are studied using simulated two- and three-dimensional field patterns in corrugated and smooth-walled structures with finite length based on electric and magnetic boundary conditions. Simulation results show that specific stopbands will emerge at all of the intersections between the dispersion curves of different TM0n, modes when considering infinite-length structures with corrugations. The number of split coupled harmonics with finite length will be increased. The dispersion relations of finite length structures are thus regrouped according to the stopbands and become the same shape as that of the infinite structure which is derived analytically. This provides a significant basis to clarify the electromagnetic characteristics for transferring the dispersion relations of finite length structures into infinite structures.","PeriodicalId":122132,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS)","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126035633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the skin also represents a route for a drug delivery. Transdermal drug delivery has some advantages compared to other drug delivery techniques. Thus the risk of infection typical for injection delivery or metabolic changes of drug typical for oral delivery are eliminated. In the case of transdermal drug delivery, the skin barrier must be disturbed. There are several approaches how to disturb the barrier effect of stratum corneum such as electroporation, iontophoresis, sonophoresis or chemical enhancers.

Recently, Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP), plasma activated liquid (PAL), and nanomaterial have been significant advances in oncotherapy.

Halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs) have shown potential as a drug delivery vehicle, and its surface can be modified and tailored as a targeted drug delivery system. The study aims to investigate for the first time the anti-tumor effect of CAP, PAL, and HNT is a nanocarrier for chemotherapeutic agents, on the lung cancer model in mice. In the CAP treatment modality, we set mice in contact with CAP at different times. Also, to prepare PAL we expose a Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) in the same conditions. To this end, mouse models tumor size evaluate after CAP, PAL, and the combination of CAP and HNT. Besides, High performance liquid chromatography, surface morphology, tissue distribution, luminescence assay, in vivo anti-angiogenesis assay perform to investigate the efficiency of the mentioned treatment modality. Also, the pH and concentration of long-lived reactive oxygen and nitrogen species have been measured.

However, interpretation of probe data is often difficult because of non-ideal plasma conditions, such as complicated geometry, non-zero electric fields due to proximity to the chamber or spacecraft, magnetic fields, moderate collisionality, secondary emission, etc. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations can robustly include all these effects, but often require excessive computation time. The Speed-limited PIC (SLPIC) approach is a modification of PIC that can speed up simulation by roughly the square root of the ion/electron mass ratio. In a steady state, this approach is equivalent to the numerical timestepping method, which evolves electrons and ions using different timesteps; for steady-state electrostatic simulations, this method can be realized simply by performing a simulation with electrons and positrons (reduced-mass ions), and scaling the resulting ion velocities and currents appropriately. However, SLPIC offers a way to simulate slow time-dependence as well as the steady state. We demonstrate these approaches by simulating a Langmuir probe in electron-argon plasma, reducing simulation time by more than a factor of 100.","PeriodicalId":122132,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116443025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
