background : widespread use of x-band frequency (a part of the super high frequency microwave) in the various workplaces would contribute to occupational exposure with potential of adverse health effects.  according to limited study on microwave shielding for the workplace, this study tried to prepare a new microwave shielding for this purpose. methods: we used ei-403 epoxy thermosetting resin as a matrix and nickel oxide nanoparticle with the diameter of 15-35 nm as filler. the epoxy/ nickel oxide composites with 5, 7, 9 and 11 wt% were made in three different thicknesses (2, 4 and 6 mm). according to transmission / reflection method, shielding effectiveness (se) in the x-band frequency range (8-12.5 ghz) was measured by scattering parameters directly given by the 2-port vector network analyzer. the fabricated composites characterized by x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscope. results : the best average of shielding effectiveness in each thickness of fabricated composites obtained by 11%-2 mm, 7%-4 mm and 7%-6 mm composites with se values of 46.80%, 66.72% and 64.52%, respectively. in addition, the 11%-6 mm, 5%-6 mm and 11%-4 mm-fabricated composites were able to attenuate extremely the incident microwave energy at 8.01, 8.51 and 8.53 ghz by se of 84.14%, 83.57 and 81.30%, respectively. conclusion s: the 7%-4mm composite could be introduced as a suitable alternative microwave shield in radiation protection topics in order to its proper se and other preferable properties such as low cost and weight, resistance to corrosion etc. it is necessary to develop and investigate the efficacy of the fabricated composites in the fields by future studies.

A New High Frequency Grid Impedance Estimation Technique for the Frequency Range of 2 to150 kHz

Grid impedance estimation is used in many power system applications such as grid connected renewable energy systems and power quality analysis of smart grids. The grid impedance estimation techniques based on signal injection uses Ohm’s law for the estimation. In these methods, one or several signal(s) is (are) injected to Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Then the current through and voltage of ...

A Novel Approach for Preparation of Acetylacetonate Complex Anchored to High Order Nanoporous Silica (LUS-1)

Tris(3-bromo-acetylacetonato) chromium(III) as an inert and very stable complex with a good leaving group was synthesized using as-prepared Cr(acetylacetonate)3. Highly ordered nanoporous silica (LUS-1), with some great features, was functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Then the as-prepared product was modified with tris(3-bromo-acetylacetonato) chromium(III) under mild reaction co...
