In this paper is presented the possibility of vaporization and ionization of the metal threads (in particular lead) during interactions with a microwave field (2.45 GHz frequency) from a cylindrical waveguide having 011 TM propagation mode. The experiment is realized in vacuum conditions at 7 × 10-5 milibar pressure. In vacuum a teflon piece is heated and is created a plasma through decomposition of the teflon. Lead thread is vaporized and ionized of plasma teflon.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
