Multi‐scale study of the structuration of candle blends with a high content of vegetable fats to replace paraffins: Effect of 12‐hydroxystearic acid content

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 99, Issue 12, Page 1137-1150, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The aim is to replace mineral waxes with vegetable fats as an organogel for candle manufacturing while keeping the same texture. The physico‐chemical characteristics of renewable vegetable raw materials differ from those of mineral waxes and consequently the structure of the blends in which they are used is modified.

An Ultra-Wideband Study of Vegetation Impact on Upper Midband / FR3 Communication [PDF]

arXiv
Growing demand for high data rates is driving interest in the upper mid-band (FR 3) spectrum (6-24 GHz). While some propagation measurements exist in literature, the impact of vegetation on link performance remains under-explored. This study examines vegetation-induced losses in an urban scenario across 6-18 GHz.
