Microwave irradiation of whole soybeans in ruminant nutrition: Protein and carbohydrate metabolism in vitro and in situ

Whole soybeans serve as one of the main sources of protein in ruminant nutrition. Different processing methods have been employed for ruminal protein protection. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of microwave irradiation [900 W; 2, 4 and 6 min] on quality, ruminal degradability and estimated in vitro intestinal digestibility of availability soybean crude protein....

Electromagnetic wave propagation in rain and polarization effects

This paper summarizes our study on microwave and millimeter-wave propagation in rain with special emphasis on the effects of polarization. Starting from a recount of our past findings, we will discuss developments with these and how they are connected with subsequent research.

Measurement and modeling of rain intensity and attenuation for the design and evaluation of microwave and millimeter-wave communication systems

Dual - Band Millimeter - Wave / Infrared Focal - Plane Arrays

In this paper, a novel arrangement for dual-band millimeter-wave and infrared focal plane array based on slot-antennacoupled metal-oxide-metal diodes is demonstrated. The receiving properties for millimeter-wave and infrared antenna-coupled detector pixels are presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A broadband waveguide for protein crystallography under intense microwave fields

We present a slab-line waveguide whose geometry is optimized for wide-angle x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments on protein crystals during irradiation with intense microwave fields. Characterization of the waveguide transmission and reflectivity (using time-domain reflectometry) and of the electric field distribution inside the waveguide (using finite-difference time-domain calculations) shows ...
