Background and Objectives: Red colored fruits such as cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L) are recognized as being healthy. The color of these fruits is an important sensory property in assessment of product quality therefore, minimizing the loss of color in the process is very important. Materials and Methods: In this study, comparison of the color, turbidity, degradation rate of anthocyanin, an...

Title of Dissertation: SYNTHESIS AND DESIGN OF MICROWAVE WIDEBAND FILTERS AND COMPONENTS Wei Meng, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor Kawthar A. Zaki, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering In the development of modern communication systems, various stringent requirements are imposed on the hardware components to support emerging applications. There is broad interest i...

the first highly accelerated niementowski reaction of anhranilic acid with some amides or ketones under microwave irradiation leading to quinazolinones and quinoline derivatives is described. these reactions represent some examples of efficient microwave irradiation promoted organic condensation in which the reactions can be carried out in open vessels and provides products of high purity with ...

Carotenoids are red, orange and yellow pigments, which are widely distributed in fruit and vegetables. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of conventional, high pressure and microwave cooking on the concentrations of β-carotene in carrot and sweet corn. Raw carrots were washed, peeled and diced to a uniform size and then frozen at -70°C. Sweet corn was also provided in a simil...

background: local ablative treatments play an important role for patients who cannot be treated surgically. radiofrequency ablation is a well-established alternative to surgical treatment of thyroid nodules, however it also has disadvantages. microwave ablation (mwa) is a new minimally invasive treatment promising several improvements. the aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the eff...

In this work, the investigation of wave absorption, phase formation, crystal structure and magnetic properties of SrFe12O19 hexa-ferrites nanoparticles that synthesized by co-precipitation using a microwave heating system and polyaniline-SrFe12O19 was carried out by using a combination of vector network analyser (VNA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier tra...

Effects of four cooking methods (microwave cooking, grilling, steaming and shallow fat frying) and reheating by microwave on volatile profile in S. commerson were evaluated. Thirty compounds were identified in GC-MS analysis of raw samples. The number of volatile compounds had increased to 36, 46, 45 and 45 compounds in microwave cooked, grilled, steamed and shallow fat fried samples, respectiv...

Multi-objective synthesis for microwave components (e.g. integrated transformer, antenna) is in high demand. Since the embedded electromagnetic (EM) simulations make these tasks very computationally expensive when using traditional multiobjective synthesis methods, efficiency improvement is very important. However, this research is almost blank. In this paper, a new method, called Gaussian Proc...
