the effect of pre-treatments in combination with hot air, vacuum and hot-a microwave drying methods the progress of the drying process, and textural, and colour and rehydration rate on button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) slices were investigated. in this work, one of the following methods: hot air, vacuum drying or microwave-assisted convective drying and also different pre-drying treatments, v...

this paper presents an approach to modeling of field penetration and gives contribution to understanding the real effects of the fields and the sensitivity of human model to electromagnetic radiation generated by mobile antenna. when a human body is exposed to the electromagnetic radiation, because human body contain 70% of liquid, and it contain more liquid near of head, heart, abdomen (near o...

this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of combined microwave-ultrasonic pasteurization system on escherichia coli and vitamin c content in sour cherry juice (scj). based on the findings, microwave output power, ultrasound power, and ultrasonic exposure time as well as the microwave-induced temperature were the most effective factors in reducing e. coli and vitamin c content. in addition,...

Sterilized soils are commonly used for the study of xenobiotic sorption and as an abiotic control in biodegradation experiments. They are also used for the chemical study of nitrogen and carbon cycle processes and the elimination of the biological factors. In this research the effects of different soil sterilization methods such as autoclaving, fumigating and exposure to ultraviolet and microwa...

the cost of drying carpet which is done toward the end of the manufacturing process, is quite high. the carpet industry has been using convection drying for many years. little attention has been given to quantifying the effect of microwave power during the drying of carpet. an experimental system was developed whereby air was introduced into the cavity of a domestic microwave oven. the results ...
