Conventional circularly polarized antennas have been employed to deliver microwave illumination in microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (TAT). However, these antennas exhibit several limitations in TAT systems, including low efficiency, poor axial ratio (AR) roundness, and narrow axial ratio beamwidth (ARBW). These issues lead to uniform radiation only within a relatively confined area, thereby restricting their effectiveness in clinical applications such as breast imaging. To address these issues, we propose a novel planar slot array antenna that offers a wide ARBW and improved axial ratio (AR) roundness, enabling homogeneous illumination over a larger field. We validated this approach both theoretically and experimentally. Tissue-mimicking phantoms were imaged, demonstrating that the antenna generated a circularly polarized electric field as well as a uniformly illuminated area. These advantages make the antenna proposed in this paper more suitable for clinical imaging compared to traditional microwave radiating antennas.- Book : 17(2)

The purpose of this study was to extract the lipophilic fraction from one of the largest source of waste in the industrial sector, namely, the tomato residue from processing the fruit. In order to make this process more environmentally sustainable, this study used a green extraction protocol employing natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) combined with a less energy-consuming technology, the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method, to simultaneously recover carotenoids and tocopherol from dried powder tomato waste. Two NADESs, one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic, were prepared and compared to support high extraction efficiency and increase the stability of the extracted compounds. The optimal extraction parameters were identified as choline chloride:1,3-butanediol (1:5)-based NADES, a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:20 (w/v), time of extraction 12 min, temperature 65 °C, radiation frequency 37 Hz, and an ultrasound power level of 70%. The extraction process was intensified and resulted in extracts rich in lycopene (215.13 ± 4.31 μg/g DW), β-carotene (206.95 ± 3.27 μg/g DW), and tocopherol (130.86 ± 8.97 μg/g DW) content, with the highest antioxidant capacity 93.84 ± 0.18 mM Trolox equivalent. Incorporating NADESs for the extraction of bioactive compounds offers numerous benefits, such as improved sustainability, enhanced extraction efficiency, better protection of sensitive compounds, and reduced environmental impact. These advantages make NADESs a promising alternative to traditional organic solvents, especially in industries that require natural, green, and efficient extraction processes for valuable bioactive molecules.- Book : 30(3)

AbstractA novel design method of dual‐band single‐layer substrate‐integrated waveguide (SIW) filtering antennas with independently controllable bands is proposed in this paper. The basic two‐pole dual‐band filtering antenna is proposed by a dual‐mode rectangular SIW cavity coupled to two single‐mode SIW cavities with respective radiating slots. Single cavity multi‐mode is realised by etching dumbbell‐shaped slots and metallised vias to achieve the purpose of broadening bandwidth and miniaturisation. The dual‐mode SIW cavity acting as a common structure is fed by a coaxial feeder. The two orthogonal modes are coupled to two single‐mode cavities by coupling windows to produce two two‐pole passband filtering responses, respectively. Metallised vias in radiating SIW cavities are employed to realise good impedance matchings in radiating pass‐bands. The two filtering radiation bands can be controlled independently, which is analysed in detail. Based on the basic two‐pole dual‐band filtering antenna, three‐ and four‐pole dual‐band filtering antennas are further proposed and analysed. For demonstration, two‐, three‐ and four‐pole dual‐band filtering antennas with two centre frequencies of 10 and 11.7 GHz are designed, fabricated, and measured. The good agreement between the simulated and measured results verifies the proposed design methodology of single‐layer SIW dual‐band filtering antennas.- Book : 19(1)
