The term green chemistry is defined as “the invention, design and application of chemical products and processes to reduce or to eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances”. The major applications of green chemistry principles and practice renders control, regulation, and remediation, hence resultant environmental benefit can be expressed in terms of economic impact .It also invol...

PURPOSE The impact strength and the flexural properties of denture base materials are of importance in predicting their clinical performance upon sudden loading. This study compares the impact and transverse strengths and the flexural modulus of three denture base polymers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The investigation included a relatively new microwave-polymerized polyurethane-based denture mater...

Microwave imaging is an alternate breast cancer detection technique that uses microwaves to generate images based on di erences in permittivity and conductivity. The large di erences in permittivity and conductivity between normal and malignant breast tissue should allow for more reliable detection of breast cancer as opposed to conventional X-ray techniques. This project aims to develop a 3-D ...

We describe an effective method for discovery of new superconductors, which combines phase-spread alloy thin film preparation with a magnetic field modulated ~MFM! microwave absorption technique. The MFM technique can detect superconductivity in YBa2Cu3O72d volumes as small as 5310 cm. As an illustration, PrxGd12xBa2Cu3O72d thin films with varying x were simultaneously grown on the same substra...

in the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1d) cuo nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...

In the present study, recent progress in using microwave energy to enhance oxidative degradation of pollutants of poor biodegradability in industrial wastewaters is reviewed and evaluated, in order to assess the potential of microwave-induced oxidation as effective and viable remediation technique, alternative to conventional treatment procedures. Microwave radiation is actually emerging as an ...

Active microwave imaging is explored as an imaging modality for early detection of breast cancer. When exposed to microwaves, breast tumor exhibits electrical properties that are significantly different from that of healthy breast tissues. The two approaches of active microwave imaging — confocal microwave technique with measured reflected signals and microwave tomographic imaging with measured...

We present a technique to locally and rapidly heat water drops in microfluidic devices with microwave dielectric heating. Water absorbs microwave power more efficiently than polymers, glass, and oils due to its permanent molecular dipole moment that has large dielectric loss at GHz frequencies. The relevant heat capacity of the system is a single thermally isolated picolitre-scale drop of water...

A review of perturbation diagnostics applied to microwave resonant cavity discharges is presented. The classical microwave perturbation technique examines the shift in the resonant frequency and cavity quality factor of the resonant cavity caused by low-electron density discharges. However, the modifications presented allow the analysis to be applied to discharges with electron densities beyond...

UNLABELLED The use of ocular prostheses for ophthalmic patients aims to rebuild facial aesthetics and provide an artificial substitute to the visual organ. Natural intemperate conditions promote discoloration of artificial irides and many studies have attempted to produce irides with greater chromatic paint durability using different paint materials. OBJECTIVES The present study evaluated the...
