Hydrogen and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were produced by generating plasma in an organic solvent. The 2.45GHz microwave in-liquid plasma is generated by using a conventional microwave oven. The hydrogen generation efficiency using the in-plasma method is approximately 34% that of the electrolysis of water. When cyclohexane is used as the source liquid, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) having...

Highly efficient and stable MoS2 nanocrystals on graphene sheets (MoS2/GR) are synthesized via a hybrid microwave annealing process. Through only 45 second-irradiation using a household microwave oven equipped with a graphite susceptor, crystallization of MoS2 and thermal reduction of graphene oxide into graphene are achieved, indicating that our synthetic method is ultrafast and energy-economi...

Abstrnct In this paper, we design a novel fuzzy controller to dynamically adjust the packet length to against the interference from microwave oven over the IEEE 802.11 FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) wireless LAN card. The idea of adjusting the packet length under the noise environment is referring from the measurement results about the effects of microwave ovens over the wireless LAN ...

In this paper, we quantified the permittivity and permeability of ferrite-particle-containing silicone using a perturbation method with a harmonic resonator and investigated whether the modified silicone can be used as a material for fabricating heating vessels for microwave ovens. The material constant varied depending on the compounding ratio of the obtained ferrite. From our simulation resul...

In this work, the impact of radiofrequency radiation leakage from microwave ovens and its effect on 802.15.4 ZigBee-compliant wireless sensor networks operating in the 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band is analyzed. By means of a novel radioplanning approach, based on electromagnetic field simulation of a microwave oven and determination of equivalent radiation sources applied to ...

Finger millet (Eluesine coracana) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica), are highly nutritious minor millets and hence is used in most of the staple foods. The present study was to estimate the thin layer drying characteristics of foxtail and finger millet and developing a thin layer model which adequately fits the data. Foxtail and finger millet with an initial moisture content of 0.314 and 0.3...

Calcined gypsum (calcium sul­ phate hemihydrate, CaS04 1/2H20), commonly known as plas­ ter of Paris, is used extensively in forming casts to immobilize parts of the body and for making molds used in the manufacture of orthotic and prosthetic devices. Plaster models and casts have several advantages, and a few disadvantages. Widely available, plaster is inert, sufficiently stable dimensionally,...
