Aliakbarian, H and Enayati, A and Soltani, MA and Ameri Mahabadi, Hossein and Moghavvemi, Mahmoud (2010): Electromagnetic Solutions for the Agricultural Problems. Published in: Advanced Microwave Circuits and Systems : pp. 471-490.

Abstract

In the recent years, interactive relations between various branches of science and technology have improved interdisciplinary fields of science. In fact, most of the research activities take place somewhere among these branches. Therefore, a specialist from one branch usually can propose novel methods, whenever enters a new field, based on his previous knowledge.
