Until recently traditional heating in organic chemistry has been done with oil heating baths or using electric heat exchangers. With the advent of microwave equipment, heating by microwaves was rapidly introduced as standard method in organic chemistry laboratories, mainly because of the convenient possibility to operate at high temperature accompanied by accelerated reaction rates. In the pres...

After industrial coating processes lacquer has to to be dried with the help of heat. Often this is done by hot air or infrared systems. Compared to other technologies Infrared heat needs less space and provides energy exactly where it is needed. Infrared drying has the best results with material which has a simple geometric shape. But if the oven is designed appropriate to the requirements lacq...

The European Union, through its SAVE II programme, aims at promoting the rational use of energy within the community. SAVE II is a non-technological programme with many elements, among others labelling, standardisation and other actions in the area of energy-using equipment. This report summarises the results of the Working Group on Efficient Domestic Ovens. The purpose of this study is to iden...

background: aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a major carcinogenic compound that may be existed in milk and dairy products. this study was aimed to determine the presence of afm1 in industrial and traditional yogurt samples produced in iran. methods: a total of 80 yogurt samples (40 industrial, 40 traditional) was collected from supermarkets in yazd city, iran. afm1 content of the selected samples was det...

– IEEE 802.15.4 shares its frequency band with many existing technologies such as Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, microwave ovens and other devices that use the same ISM bandwidth. The interference caused by these technologies can degrade the performance of an IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless network. In this paper we study such degrading effects on a network installed in an industrial environment. The per...
