Sonication-Assisted Synthesis of β-Mercuric Sulfide Nanoparticles by Xin Xu, Elizabeth R. Carraway

“…Ethanol was used as the solvent and sodium hydroxide as the hydrolysis reagent. Use of mild sonication resulted in smaller particles (average 11nm diameter) than without sonication treatment (average 17nm diameter) and continuous nitrogen purging reduced the surface oxygen content of the particles from approximately 25% to 6%. …”

Modeling and simulations of hydrodynamic shocks in a plasma flowing across randomized ICF scale laser beams by Hüller, S., Ludwig, J. D. T., Rose, H. A., Bruulsema, C., Farmer, W., Michel, P., Milder, A. L., Swadling, G. F., Rozmus, W.

“…The cumulative plasma response from laser speckles slows down the velocity of the incoming flow by momentum conservation. For slightly super-sonic flow the cumulative plasma response to the ponderomotive force exerted by the beam speckle ensemble is the strongest, such that slowing down the flow to subsonic velocities leads eventually to the generation of a shock around the cross section of the beam. …”

Optimized Conditions for Flavonoid Extraction from Pomelo Peel Byproducts under Enzyme- and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction Using Response Surface Methodology by Mai Nguyen Tram Anh, Pham Van Hung, Nguyen Thi Lan Phi

“…The results indicated that the optimal extraction condition was a liquid-to-solid ratio of 142.99 mL/g, enzyme concentration of 3.45%, and the time of 65.23 min for incubation and of 69.26 min for sonication treatment. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of the pomelo peel extracts, under optimal condition of the combined method (16.79 mg GAE/g and 10.69 mg RE/g, respectively), were significantly higher than those of the conventional method (6.58 mg GAE/g and 2.42 mg RE/g, respectively). …”
