SPECTRAL APPROACH WITH ITERATIVE CLARIFICATION OF A RADIATION BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR MODELING OF QUASIMODES OF A GYROTRONS OPEN CAVITIES

Spectral approach with iterative clarification of a radiation boundary conditions for modeling of quasimodes of a gyrotrons open cavities

Purpose.The article presents a new method for numerical simulation of quasi-eigenmode oscillations in open resonators of gyrotrons — powerful vacuum generators of electromagnetic waves in the millimeter and submillimeter ranges.The gyrotron cavity has the shape of a weakly inhomogeneous hollow circular metal waveguide.Methods.The proposed app

Cabbage looper control on seedling lettuce

In the Imperial Facial Scrub Valley, populations of the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner) (photo) often build up on cotton and gradually spill into seedling lettuce in the fall.Looper infestations in lettuce are so heavy some years, that lettuce production would be Dutch Ovens in jeopardy unless efficiently controlled.Good insect control on
