New methods of sterilization employing a chemical with moderate heat and ultrasonic energy have been devised. Inactivation of high-density bacterial spore suspensions is achieved by treatment with low concentration aqueous acid glutaraldehyde solutions at temperatures above or about 54 C. Low (20 kHz) or high (250 kHz) frequency ultrasonic energy is synergistic with glutaraldehyde. Rapid inacti...

The rate at which the novel virus Covid-19 spread across world in an alarming with high of death infected persons is quite disturbing, hence need to checkmate its by quickly identifying symptoms this viral infection. This paper discusses development automated low-cost non-contact temperature scanner and sanitizer. system automatically detects a human being, scans for temperature, sanitizes pers...

The objective was to test ultrasound treatments on spinach leaves during extraction, and conventional extraction was used as a control. The effects of different combinations of the ultrasonic water bath factors tested on phenolic compound yields included frequency (37 and 80 kHz), exposure time (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min), temperature (30, 40, and 50°C), and ultrasonic power (30%, 50%, and ...

Concerns about consumer and worker safety and the fate of fumigants have fuelled strong efforts to determine their residues in foodstuffs. Fumigants are usually extracted from commodities with solvent at room temperature (25 degrees C). In this paper, solvent extraction of methyl bromide, phosphine, carbonyl sulfide, and carbon disulfide using ultrasonic acceleration or heating was evaluated. W...

a new method for the synthesis of nano zero-valent iron (nzvi) was developed in the present study.ultrasonic waves, as a novel method, were used to synthesize the nanoparticles. the morphologyand surface compositions of the particles were characterized by using fesem, xrd, bet, andparticle size analyzer. the synthesized nanoparticles were then utilized as a fenton-like catalyst todegrade of hyd...

In this paper we propose a Genetic-Based Inverse Voting Hough Transform (GBIVHT) method to detect buried crack defects in engineering structures. The method is applied to B-scan images obtained according to the ultrasonic Time Of Flight Diffraction technique. In these image representations of the ultrasound data, crack defects are characterized by multiple arcs of diffraction that can be approx...

The advent of miniaturized electromagnetic digitizers opens a variety of potential clinical applications for computer aided interventions using flexible instruments; endoscopes or catheters can easily be tracked within the body. With respect to the new applications, the systematic distortions induced by various materials such as closed metallic loops, wire guides, catheters, and ultrasound scan...

Abstract: A pulse-echo technique, based on ultrasonic "long-bar" mode (LBM) velocity measurements, working up to 1700°C is described. Magnetostrictive transducers and ultrasonic lines used in a 40-85 kHz frequency range are detailed. The conditions of choice of fundamental parameters (frequency, line geometry, sample size) are discussed in relation with the nature and the microstructure of ...
