A spectroscopic study on oregano has been performed in order to find optical parameters that could be related to moisture content. Reflectance spectra have been obtained varying excitation wavelengths from the visible to ...

Numerous factors influencing the surface quality of wood after machining, among them we highlight the machining parameters and the properties of the wood. In the analysis of the influence of these factors on machining and ...

This manuscript describes the development and application of a simple, inexpensive, and green method for the quantification of urea in skin moisturizer creams, using a combined spot test/diffuse reflectance spectroscopy ...

Ultrasound is a reliable non-destructive method commonly used to evaluate the state of a piece of wood. The effect of the moisture content (MC) on the timber wave velocity, which is different de-pending on the wood species, ...

This paper presents the design of an impulsive ultra-wideband test-bed, developed for remote sensing of dielectric targets. The platform is used for estimating the moisture content in polyamide targets. The main aspects ...

This work addresses the effect of wildland fuel moisture content on flame radiation. A wildland fuel layer composed of Pinus radiata needles was experimentally studied using a specially designed burner, which produced small ...

Study region: The Pampas region is located in the central-east part of Argentina, and is one of the most productive agricultural regions of the world under rainfed conditions. Study focus: This study aims at examining how ...
