“…This may occur because of conduction loss. 22,23 The frequency increases cause a decrease in the dielectric loss. At a frequency of 200 kHz, the tangent loss was 0.077, and it was further reduced to 0.024 at 2 MHz.…”

Miniaturization of microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) is vital in applications such as wireless networks, mobile devices, global positioning satellites, and upcoming wireless terminals. This miniaturization has led to a demand for new materials with higher permittivity compared to the existing ones. Zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) ceramic is an exceptional and versatile material in this context, thanks to its high dielectric permittivity and low tangent loss, making it suitable for microwave applications. This article explores the feasibility of sol–gel-prepared Ca-doped ZnAl2O4 ceramic nanoparticles to be useful in fabricating a MPA. These nanoparticles were examined using X-ray diffraction, which confirmed their polycrystalline structure, and the morphological investigation evidenced the spherical grains having a mean diameter of 16 nm. The dielectric permittivity of the ZnAl2O4Ca nanoparticles is 21.11, with a tangential loss of 0.0247. A prototype MPA made by using Ca-doped ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles showed a return loss of −20.92 dB at a resonance frequency of 6.8 GHz with a bandwidth of 600 MHz. These results indicate that Ca-doped ZnAl2O4 ceramic nanoparticles possess exceptional dielectric characteristics, which make them a promising candidate for MPA applications.

“…The overall increase in the PLW with the increase of storage duration was attributed due to respiration by the crop species, transpiration of water through the tissues, and other physico-chemical changes taking place in the crop [27,28]. As the fresh produce continues to respire during storage, carbon loss through the gas exchange during the respiration process causes a reduction in the weight of the crop while transpiration of water vapour from the surface of the crop was another contributor for PLW from the crop [29]. The metabolic activities of the fruits and vegetables continue after the harvest of the crop.…”

“…The difference in water vapour pressure at the surface of the product and the environment causes moisture loss from the product which leads to a reduction in the weight of the product [30]. Hence the physiological loss in the weight of the crop is equivalent to the loss of water vapour from the surface of the crop and loss of carbon during respiration of the crop [29]. Similar results were reported by [31] for bitter gourd wrapped with LDPE packaging and stored at different temperatures.…”

The performance of a liquid-cooled thermoelectric refrigeration (LCTR) system for the storage of summer fruits and vegetables, viz., bitter gourd, okra, mango, and papaya indicated impressive results for physiological loss in weight, firmness and colour values, and overall acceptability of the crop. The LCTR system significantly reduced (p < 0.0001) the physiological loss in weight (PLW) of bitter gourd, okra, mango, and papaya to 11.51%, 10.99%, 12.29%, and 19.17%, respectively, compared to conventional ambient storage of the crop. A lesser change in colour was observed for the crop subjected to LCTR, recording 14.04, 11.46, 16.41, and 23.68 for bitter gourd, okra, mango, and papaya, respectively. All the crops witnessed a nonsignificant effect (p < 0.0001) on the quality attributes of the crop stored in LCTR and a vapour compression refrigeration system. LCTR enabled a pronounced increment in the shelf life of bitter gourd, okra, mango, and papaya by 7, 8, 10, and 13 days, respectively, compared to the storage at ambient conditions. The system is economical, has a higher coefficient of performance (0.85) compared to the coefficient of performance (COP) of the existing thermoelectric refrigeration system, and maintains the freshness and quality of perishable agricultural produce during marketing and transportation.

The Antarctic and Greenland polar ice caps are the largest mass of ice in world. Globally the climate system is considerably affected by these ice sheets. Several natural and anthropogenic activities have affected the balance of mass of ice sheets. Ice sheets mass loss is a consequence of changes of patterns of precipitation, changing wind patterns, increasing global temperature and increased glacial flow. Nearly 75% of the ice mass loss has been observed in these regions since last ten years. A sharp increase in ice mass loss in Antarctic and Greenland regions are detected through 0.3mm increase in sea level per year. In this research paper Satellite remote sensing techniques including Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) is used to monitor and reveal the patterns of ice melt and glacier flow in these regions.
