Firstly, I would like to welcome all the readers, authors, editorial team and management of Pakistan Biomedical Journal (PBMJ) to this new journal in Biomedical Sciences. It is an intenational peer-reviewed, open-access journal that merges the basic and clinical research for the better outcome in terms of diagnosis and therapeutics. This approach will update and upgrade the existing knowledge among the researchers and clinicians, regarding the patient care and practice as well as understanding of underlying mechanisms of diseases. The ultimate beneficiary is patient and community as a whole. PBMJ is led by an outstanding Editorial Board comprising of national and international members with multidisciplinary research background. Our goal is to promote the basic and clinical research, health and disease perspectives. We receive original studies, review articles, case reports, systemetic reviews on medical, biomedical, basic and therapeutic research. We welcome scientific contributions from all over the world. It is the need and demand of the recent world scenario to focus on biomedical research. In the current world, basic and medical science cannot be considered as two separate and independent entities. There should be coherent efforts to unveil the basic understandings of pathologies at physiological, cellular and molecular level. Furthermore, the therapeutic strategies should also be explored on regional and global levels, by keeping in mind the different genetic makeups and considering the individual identities. It leads to the field of ‘personalized medicine’. There are many other recent therapeutic regimens such as regenerative medicine, exosomes, gene silencing and gene editing technologies. The world has also advanced in diagnostic modalities. Much focus has been emphasized on rapidness, accuracy and cost-effectiveness of these techniques. Imaging, scanning, histopathological, biochemical and hematological techniques have been much advanced than before. World has been changing rapidly in medical profession. Hence, it is important to be aware of these advancements worldwide and also to share the health related researches at local level. We hope this new journal will be a good addition in this perspective of sharing the recent knowledge, advancements and create awareness among masses.
Non- LTE Ne-N 2 (Local thermal equilibrium) mixture plasma is characterized to evaluate the electron temperature ( T e ) and Excitation temperature ( T exc ). The investigated plasma is of density range (10 9 to 10 10 cm -3 ), thus it belongs to corona balance. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is used to calculate the electron temperature and excitation temperature. Ne-I lines are employed to calculate the electron temperature and excitation temperature. The effective principal quantum numbers ‘ p k ’ of the selected Ne-I lines, are less than 7 for the above mentioned density range, which confirm that the corona balance is the most probable balance. Modified Boltzmann plot is employed to estimate the electron temperature, whereas simple Boltzmann plot is used to calculate the excitation temperature. Langmuir probe has also been used to measure the plasma parameters e.g., electron temperature ( T e ), electron number density ( n e ), plasma potential ( V p ) and electron energy distribution function (EEDF). Electron temperature ( T e ) measured from Ne-I lines, by employing modified Boltzmann plot technique, is also compared with Langmuir probe results. In both techniques the trend is same i.e., electron temperature increases with increase in Ne % and RF power in the mixture and it decreases with increase in filling pressure. It is also observed that electron temperature ( T e ) measured with Langmuir probe is slightly greater than electron temperature ( T e ) measured with modified Boltzmann plot method. Generally, excitation temperature ( T exc ) is greater than electron temperature ( T e ). This fact is also observed in the characterization of the Ne-N 2 mixture plasma. EEDFs in Ne-N 2 mixture plasma are measured as a function of Ne %, filling pressure and RF power. It is observed that the tails of the EEDF gain height and extend towards the higher energy with increase in Ne %, which confirms that population of high energy electrons increases with increase in Ne % in the mixture. Electron number density ( n e ) is also calculated and results show that ‘ n e ’ decreases with Ne %. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is used to investigate the effect of neon mixing on the vibrational temperature of second positive N 2 ( C 3 Π u , ν ′ → B 3 Π g , ν ′ ′ ) and first negative + ( ) N 2 B 2 ∑ u + , ν ′ → X 2 ∑ + g , ν ′ ′ system of nitrogen plasma generated by 13.56 MHz RF xvi+ generator. The relative changes in vibrational population of N 2 ( C 3 Π u ) and N 2 ( B 2 ∑ u + ) states with neon mixing are monitored by measuring the emission intensities of second positive and first negative system of nitrogen molecules. Vibrational temperature is calculated for the sequences ∆ν = 0, -1 and -2, that follows the Boltzmann distribution. It is found that electron temperature as well as vibrational temperature of second positive and first negative system can be raised significantly by mixing of neon in the nitrogen plasma. Vibrational temperature of second positive system is raised up to 0.67 eV at 90 % neon whereas for first negative system it is raised up to 0.78 eV at 0.5 mbar pressure and 250 watt RF power. It is also found that vibrational temperature increases with the gas pressure up to 0.5 mbar. The over population of the levels of N 2 ( C 3 Π u , ν ′ ) states with neon mixing are monitored by measuring the emission intensities of second positive system of nitrogen molecules. Since, over populations of levels of N 2 ( C 3 Π u , ν ′ ) e.g., 1 and 4, effect the calculus of vibrational temperature of N 2 ( C 3 Π u , ν ′ ) state, therefore, a linearization process is employed to such distributions allowing us to calculate the vibrational temperature of the N 2 ( C 3 Π u , ν ′ ) state. Vibration temperature ( T ν ) measured from different linear adjust gives different value of ‘ T ν ’, which in turns reflects the effect of over population of levels of N 2 ( C 3 Π u , ν ′ ) state.
