Contribution of the Electron Flux from Non-Thermal Plasma into Deactivation of Bioiogicai Micro-Organisms. Based on the equation (12-1) describing contribution of the non-thermal plasma electrons into sterilization, derive corresponding formula for the survival curve. Compare the curve related to contribution of plasma electrons with experimental survival curves for atmospheric-pressure discharges presented in Section 12.2. 

Contribution of Reactive Neutral Species to Sterilization Effect of Non-Thermal Plasma. Compare contribution to sterilization of OH-radicals generated in plasma and then transported to the surface of biomaterials (see section 12.5) with that of OH-radicals produced inside of the biomaterials from plasma-generated charged particles (see section 12.1.4). Analyze rates of OH-production by surface bombardment with electrons and with positive and negative ions. What is the effect of electric field in the non-thermal atmospheric-pressure air discharges on the balance between the channels of OH production ...
