Effect of moisture content variation on dielectric properties of various plant leaves at microwave frequencies by Pratipal D. Chauhan, Deepak H. Gadani, Vipin A. Rana

“…Above certain moisture level in the leaves, $$\varepsilon$$ ε ″ starts to increase slowly with the increase in frequency above 3 GHz approaching towards the dielectric relaxation of water. The values of $$\varepsilon$$ ε ′ and $$\varepsilon$$ ε ″ were also measured for the extract of leaves and compared with the values calculated using Stogryn equations for the same salinity, and the results agree with the calculated values. …”

SIMULATION STUDY AND STRENGTH VALIDATION OF PLANES’LOAD AT DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF COAL PLOUGH by ZHAO LiJuan, CHEN Lei, TIAN Zhen

“…By analyzing the results indicate that : in the same cutting depth,the loads of planes at the different positions are random,in which load short broadsword’s means and standard deviations of the three load are minimum and the cutter force is relatively stable and uniform compared with other positions,followed by long broadsword,knife top and bottom knife; With increasing of planing depth,three forces of planes suffered have varying degrees increased,When the cutting depth exceeds a certain value,cutting resistance will be significantly increased; when the cutter spacing exceeds a certain transversal distance,cutting force increases sharply; In the working process,long and short waist by the maximum stresses are located in knife body thickness position transition connection and the knife body and the lamellar alloy head is embedded,main failure mode for the wear and fracture;the top and bottom knife knife connected with the knife base part chamfer can relax the stress concentration. Analysis results of load planer reliability and structure optimization design provides a theoretical basis for the study of dynamic.…”

Magnetorefractive effect in metallic Co/Pt nanostructures by А. N. Yurasov, D. A. Sayfulina, Т. N. Bakhvalova

“…Since the permittivity of inhomogeneous samples was replaced by a common effective parameter depending on the permittivity of each component, we were able to apply the Drude–Lorentz theory for conductors in a high-frequency alternating field and then estimate the parameters of the electronic structure of the samples being studied. Plasma and relaxation frequencies were calculated for each sample. …”
