Investigating the Microwave Behaviour of Solid Carbon in Natural Gas Pyrolysis under Microwave Irradiation
DownloadSpring 2024
The rising levels of carbon dioxide emissions stemming from the combustion of fossil fuels necessitate immediate attention to implement sustainable energy solutions. Hydrogen as a fuel, holds significant potential for establishing CO2-neutral systems, and the utilization of microwave pyrolysis of...

Microbead-assisted high resolution microwave planar ring resonator for organic-vapor sensing
Download2015-01-01
Zarifi, Mohammad H., Fayaz, Mohammadreza, Goldthorp, Jordan, Abdolrazzaghi, Mohammad, Hashisho, Zaher, Daneshmand, Mojgan
A microbead-assisted planar microwave resonator for organic vaporsensing applications is presented. The core of this sensor is a planarmicrostrip split-ring resonator, integrated with an active feedback loop to enhance the initial quality factor from 200 to ∼1 M at an operational resonance...

Minimizing invasion risk by reducing propagule pressure: a model for ballast-water exchange
Download2005-01-01
Lewis, Mark A., Wonham, Marjorie J., MacIsaac, Hugh J.
Biological invasions are a major and increasing agent of global biodiversity change. Theory and practice indicate that invasion risk can be diminished by reducing propagule pressure, or the quantity, quality, and frequency of introduced individuals. For aquatic invasions, the primary global...
