the cunica nanopanicles have been synthesized by sol-gel auto-combusson. microwave and co-precipitationtechniques. then, the results of the three techniques were compared. in the vol-ael auto-combustion synthesiswas used glycine as a fuel. at first, sol was prepared. then, gel was achieved from drying so'. the prepared gelwas burnt at 350°c. in the noicrowavc technique, gel was prepared. then, ...

Affinity precipitation is a simple, single plate separation process in which the complex of a smart macroaffinity ligand with the target protein (from a crude broth) can be selectively precipitated by application of a suitable stimulus. Alginate is a copolymer of guluronic acid and mannuronic acid residues and precipitates with Ca(2+) ions. It was found to bind to pectinase present in a commerc...

The impact of one or two missing passive microwave (PMW) input sensors on the end product of multi-satellite precipitation products is an interesting but obscure issue for both algorithm developers and data users. On 28 January 2013, the Version-7 TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) products were reproduced and re-released by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) G...

Tungsten oxide (WO3) and tungsten oxide hydrate (WO3.H2O) nanoparticles were synthesized via microwave-assisted solution combustion in comparison with the acidic precipitation method. Oxalic acid was used as a surfactant and forming agent in the acidic precipitation method. In addition to oxalic acid, glycine and citric acid were also used as fuels in the microw...

The point-to-area problem strongly complicates the validation of satellite-based precipitation estimates, using surface-based point measurements. We simulate the limited spatial representation of light-to-moderate oceanic precipitation rates along ship tracks with respect to areal passive microwave satellite estimates using data from a subtropical island-based radar. The radar data serves to es...

The purpose of this chapter is to offer an accurate treatment of relevant aspects of satellite remote sensing of precipitation using passive microwave (PMW) radiometers. Microwave observations of the Earth’s system differ substantially from those based on optical and infrared wavelengths. Visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) instruments essentially sense the cloud top properties by measuring reflect...

In this work, the investigation of wave absorption, phase formation, crystal structure and magnetic properties of SrFe12O19 hexa-ferrites nanoparticles that synthesized by co-precipitation using a microwave heating system and polyaniline-SrFe12O19 was carried out by using a combination of vector network analyser (VNA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier tra...

Several methods have been proposed to train microwave radiometers to retrieve precipitation rates estimated by a radar which observed the same location at the same time. These radar-trained passive-microwave algorithms differ in the quantities that are estimated: some estimate the vertically-integrated liquid water, while others estimate the near-surface precipitation. Since it is no more or le...

Microwave ferrites require high coercivity for their use as microwave absorbers. Strontium hexaferrite is one of the best material due to its magnetic properties , high coercivity, large unilateral magnetic anisotropy and very low cost in comparison to others make it suitable for the use as microwave components specifically microwave absorber .Strontium nano hexa ferrites were successfully synt...

A novel algorithm for the detection of precipitation is described and tested. The algorithm is applicable to any modern passive microwave radiometer on board polar orbiting satellites independent of the observation geometry and channel frequency assortment. The algorithm is based on the application of canonical correlation analysis and on the definition of a threshold to be applied to the resul...
