Microwave absorption properties and thermal behavior of vanadium slag were investigated. Results indicated that vanadium slag endowed excellent microwave absorption properties, with minimum εr' value of 34.447 (F/M). Dielectric properties of vanadium slag varied with temperature, which changing trend was matched to the three stages of microwave heating characteristics identified by heating rates. Meanwhile, the changing process of dielectric properties also corresponded to the three processes of thermogravimetric characteristics dehydration stage (30 °C-280 °C), oxidation decomposition of olivine phase and normal spinel phase (280 °C-650 °C), and oxidation decomposition of vanadium chromium spinel (650 °C-950 °C). Moreover, the maximum dielectric constant and highest microwave heating rate of vanadium slag both appeared at the temperature regime of 500 °C-550 °C, which was also the main temperature regime for oxidation decomposition of olivine phase and normal spinel phase in vanadium slag, demonstrating the appropriate process temperature for microwave heating technology to recycle vanadium slag. Stress and fear are two fields of research that have evolved simultaneously. It was not until the eighties that these domains converged in order to better characterize the impact of stress on fear memory formation. Here, we reviewed the effects of stress occurring before fear acquisition on the main phases of fear conditioning protocols (acquisition training, extinction training, extinction retention test), with a specific focus on sex and sex hormones. We also paid close attention to methodological aspects in o
