These relevant features include (among others) network effects, market structure, market share and profits inequality, choice of technical sta...

Applications of Microwave Heating in Agricultural and Forestry Related Industries

Microwave frequencies occupy portions of the electromagnetic spectrum between 300 MHz to 300 GHz. The full range of microwave frequencies is subdivided into various bands (Table 1). Because microwaves are also used in the communication, navigation and defence industries, their use in thermal heating is restricted to a small subset of the available frequency bands. In Australia, the commonly use...
