The penetration of microwave power inside a human head model is improved by employing a dielectric loaded rectangular waveguide as the transmission source. A multi-layer reflection model is investigated to evaluate the combined material characteristics of different lossy human head tissues at 2.45 GHz. A waveguide loaded with a calculated permittivity of 3.62 is shown to maximise the microwave power penetration at the desired frequency. A Quartz (SiO) loaded rectangular waveguide fed by a microstrip antenna is designed to validate the power penetration improvement inside an inhomogeneous human head phantom. A measured 1.33 dB power penetration increment is observed for the dielectric loaded waveguide over a standard rectangular waveguide at 50 mm inside the head, with an 81.9% reduction in the size of the transmission source.

Arguably, SiC technology is the most rapidly expanding IC manufacturing technology driven mostly by the aggressive roadmap for battery electric vehicle penetration and also industrial high-voltage/high-power applications. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of SiC technology focusing on the challenges starting from the difficult and lengthy SiC substrate growth all the way to the complex MOSFET assembly processes. We focus on the differentiation from the established Si manufacturing processes and provide a comprehensive list of references as well as a brief description of our own research into the key manufacturing processes in this technology.

To investigate the effect of combined action of discharge plasma (DP) and plasma-activated water (PAW) in mutagenesis breeding, this study focuses on Agropyron mongolicum. We utilized high-voltage DC pulsed dielectric barrier discharge for seed treatment, alone and in combination with PAW. The research focused on germination rates, evolution of physicochemical properties of imbibition residual solution, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to assess DP-induced damage and variability in Agropyron mongolicum.

Language modeling applied to biological data has significantly advanced the prediction of membrane penetration for small-molecule drugs and natural peptides. However, accurately predicting membrane diffusion for peptides with pharmacologically relevant modifications remains a substantial challenge. Here, we introduce PeptideCLM, a peptide-focused chemical language model capable of encoding peptides with chemical modifications, unnatural or noncanonical amino acids, and cyclizations.
