The electromagnetic field leakage levels of nonionizing radiation from a microwave oven have been estimated within a complex indoor scenario. By employing a hybrid simulation technique, based on coupling full wave simulation with an in-house developed deterministic 3D ray launching code, estimations of the observed electric field values can be obtained for the complete indoor scenario. The micr...

The demand for broadband wireless communication in home and office has been increasing exponentially; thus, the need for reliable and effective communication is very crucial. Both theoretical and experimental investigations have clearly shown that electromagnetic radiation from external sources such as microwave oven (MWO) has detrimental impact on the wireless medium and the media content. The...

objective: infection control is one of the important aspects in dentistry. oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the most sensitive fields in dentistry in which infection control is important a sterile surgical set is imperative. manufacturers only guarantee the sterility of the anesthetic not the sterility of its outer surface. they recommend alcohol to sterile the outer surface (especially...

The main goal of the investigation was to measure and estimate thermal stability pinosylvin, pinosylvin monomethyl ether, robinetin, dihydrorobinetin, i.e., characteristic compounds wood Scots pine black locust, respectively. pure were analyzed with chromatography before after they steam-sterilized oven-dried. Detailed thermogravimetric analysis followed check decomposition stilbenes flavonoids...

Bioprosthetic valves created from chemically treated natural tissues such as bovine pericardial biomaterial are used as heart valve scaffolds. Methods currently available for sterilization of biomaterial for transplantation include the application of gamma radiation and chemical sterilants. These techniques, however, can be problematic because they can be expensive and lead to a reduction in ti...

Microwave technology is a highly effective approach to fast and uniform heating. This article investigates that the microwave heating as a novel method is used to rapidly foam and actuate biocompatible and biodegradable shape memory crosslinked-polycaprolactone (c-PCL) foams. The optical microscope proves that the resulting c-PCL foams have homogenous pore structure. Mechanical behavior and sha...

background: poly chlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) are the groups of organic chemical material and toxic, persistent, bio accumulate and pose a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. pcb compounds are caused the different health effects in human depending of age, sex, route of entry, intensity and frequency exposure. this study was conducted to determine the effect of m...

The effect of dietary fiber enrichment (wheat bran) and cooking methods (oven, steam and microwave) on functional and physico-chemical properties of raw nuggets formulation as well as nutritional, color and textural properties of chicken nuggets were analyzed in this study. Among different cooking methods used for nuggets preparation, steam cooked nuggets had significantly (p<0.05) higher water...

background: there are many varieties of compounds in chemical and petrochemical wastewater. one of the important members of the chlorophenols (cps) family is ρ-chlorophenol. this pollutant is introduced into the environment through various human activities such as waste incineration, uncontrolled use of wood preservatives, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, as well as via bleaching the pulp...
