This study explores plasma-activated water (PAW) effects on Common bean growth in laboratory and pot trials. Three treatments were assessed: PAW priming, spraying, and their combination. Laboratory trials showed no germination improvement. However, pot trials revealed notable increases in seedling length, biomass, and antioxidant enzyme activity. Enzymes SOD, G-POX, CAT, APX, and GR showed significantly higher activity in PAW-treated plants. These effects were linked to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in PAW. Findings suggest PAW enhances bean growth and physiology, supporting field farming applications.

Magnetic Moment Force and Semi-Free Electrons: a Unified Analytical Theory for Anomalous Transport in Tokamak Plasmas

Authors: Yuanjie Huang
Comments: 45 Pages.

The long-standing problem of anomalous transport in magnetic confinement plasmas, particularly in tokamaks, remains elusive despite many theoretical efforts such as the neoclassical theory. In this work, we present a fundamentally different analytical framework based on two previously overlooked physical insights into quasi-neutral plasma behavior under magnetic fields. First, we demonstrate that the conventional Lorentz force acting on charged particles, when averaged over a complete helical orbit, manifests as the magnetic moment force. Second, we propose that free electrons in a quasi-neutral plasma should be regarded as "semi-free", as their positional degrees of freedom are constrained by the ions within the framework of calculus due to charge neutrality. Based on these premises, a simple yet comprehensive analytical model is constructed. The model successfully reproduces the experimentally observed magnitudes of particle diffusion coefficients and thermal diffusivities, which are several orders higher than classical and neoclassical predictions. Furthermore, it provides a unified physical explanation for the formation of both the edge transport barrier (ETB) in H-mode and the internal transport barrier (ITB), linking them directly to temperature and pressure profile modifications. The derived radial electric field exhibits a negative sign and the correct order of magnitude, consistent with experimental measurements, a feature not captured by classical treatments. These findings suggest that the so-called "anomalous" transport may be understood within a collision-dominated framework. The proposed model offers a new theoretical basis for understanding confinement degradation and improving operational performance in future fusion reactors.

Does the Vacuum Field Contain More Particles Besides Praons?

Authors: Hermann Burmann
Comments: 7 Pages.

The speed of light is derived with respect to the structure of the vacuumfield, after the cross-section of particles in that field is bound to positive nucleons ofthe atom. The vacuum field has been defined by two classes of interacting particles(some known in modern physics but undetected, and others that are proposed). Furthermore, these proposed particles are considered contributors to fundamentalquantities in Quantum Mechanics
