Simulation of Arc Discharge in an Argon/Methane Mixture, Taking into Account the Evaporation of Anode Material in Problems Related to the Synthesis of Functional Nanostructures by Almaz Saifutdinov, Boris Timerkaev

“…However, with an increase in the current density, the evaporation rate of copper atoms from the anode increases, and a jump in the <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> characteristic is observed, caused by a change in the plasma-forming ion. This is due to the lower ionization energy of copper atoms compared to argon atoms. …”

The study of the functionality of cardiomyocytes obtained from induced pluripotent stem cells for the modeling of cardiac arrhythmias based on long QT syndrome by M. M. Slotvitsky, V. A. Tsvelaya, S. R. Frolova, E. V. Dement’eva, K. I. Agladze

“…After an electrophysiological study on individual cardiac cells from patients with the LQT syndrome, it became apparent that the search for a mechanism for the transition of the normal heart rhythm to chaotic and fibrillation cannot be limited to recording ion currents in single cells. To solve this problem, we need a model of the behavior of cardiac tissue which reflects the relationship of various factors and the risk of reentry. …”
