The AMPERE Newsletter
The AMPERE Newsletter appears quarterly and covers short topical articles
written by experts in the field. Typically it also includes a profile,
conference reports, advertisements, a calendar of events and news items
on various aspects of radio frequency and microwave energy usage in the
ISM frequency band, covering topics broadly from 1 MHz to 30 GHz, although
higher frequencies have also been covered. It also highlights on promising
new research developments to emanate from academe and industry.

Editorial
This is the last issue of the AMPERE newsletter
that will be in its printed format sent to members.
The Committee of Management at their last
meeting decided that as from issue 52 due out in
March/April 2007 the Newsletter will be available
ONLY on line through the website. This way the
members will receive it much faster and savings on
production and postage costs will be achieved.
The AMPERE Newsletter has been printed and sent
to members since its first issue which appeared
in January 1994. It has changed in its outlook
and format several times but its content remained
broadly the same including generic articles, an
events section and advertisements all of which are
of interest to our members. Such editorial policy
will continue to be the same and as I have stated
many times, I welcome comments and suggestions
from our readership as to the content so that what
finally appears in the published version reflects the
wishes of our members.
In this issue I am delighted to welcome Professor
Jocelyn Paré and Dr Jacqueline Bélanger of
the Environmental Technology Centre, Ottawa,
Canada who, having created the Microwave-Assisted Processes (MAP) initiative, were further given the task to develop, test and validate the
MAP family of technologies originated in their
laboratories.
Further, on page 3 Dinesh Agrawal reports briefly
on the Northeastern Regional Meeting of the
National Academy of Engineering which was
held on June 15 -16, 2006 at the Pennsylvania
State University. The theme of the meeting was “Immediate Energy Savings via: Microwave Usage
in Major Materials Technologies”.
The organization for the 11th International AMPERE
conference on Microwave and High Frequency
Heating, which will be held at Oradea, Romania,
during 4-6 September 2007 is well under way. This
conference is preceded by a short course on 3
September. Details are given on AMPERE’s website www.ampereeurope.org.
Last but not least I wish to thank DIGITAL INK our
printers for all the help and guidance, over the past
six years, in putting the Newsletter together in its
present format.
