Mechanism of Ampicillin Degradation by Non-Thermal Plasma Treatment with FE-DBD
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
This research focused on determining the effectiveness of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma as an alternative to advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for antibiotic removal in solution. For this study, 20 mM (6.988 g/L) solutions of ampicillin were treated with a floating electrode dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD) plasma for varying treatment times. The treated solutions were analyzed primarily using mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The…

For this study, 20 mM (6.988 g/L) solutions of ampicillin were treated with a floating electrode dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD) plasma for varying treatment times. The treated solutions were analyzed primarily using mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The preliminary product formed was Ampicillin Sulfoxide, however, many more species are formed as plasma treatment time is increased. Ampicillin was completely eliminated after five minutes of air-plasma treatment. The primary mechanism of ampicillin degradation by plasma treatment is investigated in this study.

Non-thermal Plasma Treatment of Antibiotics

Bacteria is growing more resistant to antibiotics. One of the ways this growing resistance can be impeded is to develop more efficient methods of antibiotic deactivation. There are a number of developed methods such as Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), Adsorption, etc. However, the current methods are largely inefficient in terms of cost, energy, and effectiveness.

2nd Place Drexel SPARK Innovation Competition
OBG, Drexel
Over a 24-hour period, the students in the competition were put into teams, given a real industry problem from the industry representative, discussed how to solve the problem, and then presented the solution to a panel of judges.
My team was given 2nd place for our solution to Exelon's environmental right of ways project. -

Anthropic’s Coding Agents Level Up Developer Workflows Trend: Anthropic released updated Sonnet coding agents with longer context and stronger reasoning for developer tasks. Why it matters: Coding agents shift low-level coding from humans to supervised AI, changing hiring needs and review patterns. Question: Would you allow an agent to open a PR labeled “agent suggested” with human verification? 🔁 Repost if coding agents alter your engineering org design 🔔 Follow me for agentic engineering, review patterns and safety signals 🌟 Takeaway: Agents are helpers, not replacements, start with supervised PR flows

PSA you can call Claude Code from your Claude Code (this is different than using subagents and don't do it unless you have a reason lol) My reason is testing and developing Claude Code plugins. What is a plugin? They were just released last week, and are basically way to package up all the different ways there are to customize Claude Code for your given need. In a plugin you can define: - agents: Prompts that can be used in the main claude code agent, or in subagents - commands: slash commands that you can use in the chat to spawn a specific prompt, run a terminal script, etc. - hooks: these are like commands, but run automatically when something specific happens (so when claude finishes a response, run a command) - MCP servers: tools for claude to talk to outside context All together these subcomponents can completely change the behavior of your Claude Code instance. And with the plugin marketplace you can share these around both publicly for anyone to grab and privately for your team to align on how to work together on a given project. I don't care if you use Claude Code, Codex or no agent at all, understanding how agents work generally and can be configured for your given use case is a dramatic leverage point, since these patterns will move from CLI tools like Claude Code to your current tool stack extremely quickly. For example, I've design a claude code agent stack that executes an end to end GTM research process going from just a single URL to identifying ICPS, figuring the best place to create TAM datasets, all the way through to designing message market fit testing hypotheses. These are of course not as good as doing it manually, but that is not the point, the point is augmenting my ability to iterate, and the 80% good enough foundation it creates for any given company it researches certainly does that. I think I'll turn this agent stack into a plugin, but for now if you want access to the agent prompts leave a comment and I'll dm it to you :)

I was saying the same thing to one of my engineers this morning. I think practices like TDD are even more relevant now with Gen AI tooling. I had an experience recently where my IDE was generating a solution that failed the unit test suite. Since it was instructed to author code, run the tests and ask if I wanted to refactor or commit; it attempted to correct the failing code multiple times. It failed three times to create a working solution. After the third attempt it deleted the entire class and started from scratch. On this attempt all of the unit tests passed. The code was solid. Without well authored unit tests, the IDE wouldn't have known it's implementation was flawed. For me to read each block of generated code and debug it in my head would be just as unlikely. That's why we write unit tests. If you're a human computer on legs and you can keep all of that context in your head and simulate the code on sight alone; by all means write your code without a test suite. However, for the rest of us mortals and apparently the AI code genies too; unit tests are the price for professional and reliable code.
