background: microwave thermotherapy has been gradually used in radiotherapy and it is reported that microwave radiation increases bone demineralization rate independently of temperature. furthermore, it becomes more and more widespread that the damage caused by the synergistic effect of microwave radiation and hypergravity. the experiment was designed to investigate the effect of microwave radi...

Background: Drying is the most common way to preserve quality of aromatic and medicinal plants. Chosen drying methods can affect on the essential oil content and composition of medicinal plants. Objective: This study aimed to assess the changes in essential oil constitutes of catnip aerial part under various drying methods. Methods: The experiment was performed as the randomized complete ...

In the present work, the accumulation of selected toxic and essential ultra-trace elements in fruits of service tree (Sorbus domestica L.) were determined depending on harvest time. Samples were collected from the same sampling area in two different years and within one year in September and October (maturity state). Harvesting the fruits in the same area excludes the influence of metals taken ...

the environmental scanning electron microscopy (esem) is a new development in the field of electron microscopy. in this study esem has been used to study the structure of veal semimembranosus muscle. four treatments, raw (control), conventional heating, domestic and industrial microwave heating, were observed using esem. the temperature used in conventional heating was 163 0c. frequency app...

The humidity of the free troposphere is being increasingly scrutinized in climate research due to its central role in global warming theory through positive water vapor feedback. This feedback is the primary source of global warming in general circulation models (GCMs). Because the loss of infrared energy to space increases nonlinearly with decreases in relative humidity, the vast dry zones in ...

microwave energy has potential for the efficient heating of minerals. minerals or materials, which couple to microwave energy are called dielectrics and many valuable minerals are found to be dielectric. the mineral ilmenite is one which shows good dielectric heating characteristics. in this paper, the effect of microwave heat energy on the partial reduction of oxidized ilmenite oxidized in ...

background and objectives:rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry.methods: four to five mm thick paired...
