An efficient and mild methodology for rapid and efficient synthesis of isatin Schiff bases was described under microwave irradiation and solvent free condition.aromatic or heterocyclic Primary amines and isatin could be selectively reacted under microwave irradiation into the corresponding isatin Schiff bases in high yields and short reaction time.  

The objective of this research was to develop, optimize, and validate a modern, rapid method of preparation of human hair samples, using microwave irradiation, for analysis of eight tricyclic antidepressants (TCADs): nordoxepin, nortriptyline, imipramine, amitriptyline, doxepin, desipramine, clomipramine, and norclomipramine. It was based on simultaneous alkaline hair microwave-assisted hydroly...

The objective of this work is to evaluate the potential of microwave techniques for detecting, classifying, and determining the dimensions of inclusions and surface cracks in structural ceramics such as Si3N4. Experimental results that show the feasibility of detecting various types of inclusions and voids in Si3N4 have been obtained, and these results are reviewed. In addition, the question of...

Objective: Button mushrooms (Agaricus Bisporus) are among the most widely produced and consumed mushrooms in the world. Generally speaking, mushrooms are of great nutritional value, which due to their high content of moisture and their corruptibility particular attention is required to be paid to their conservation and health. Drying is one of the most important ways to preserve the yi...

The main scientific objectives of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission are to observe two crucial variables: soil moisture over land surface and sea surface salinity over oceans. The mission should also provide information on root zone soil moisture and vegetation and contribute to significant research in the field of the cryosphere SMOS is a demonstrator with broad and ambitious...

A series of tri- and tetra- substituted imidazoles were synthesized from benzyl, aldehyde and ammonium acetate in the presence of zeolite as an ecofriendly reusable catalyst under microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent. The yields are high to excellent and the use of microwave irradiation reduces reaction times to few minute.

the cost of drying carpet which is done toward the end of the manufacturing process, is quite high. the carpet industry has been using convection drying for many years. little attention has been given to quantifying the effect of microwave power during the drying of carpet. an experimental system was developed whereby air was introduced into the cavity of a domestic microwave oven. the results ...
