Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR)is a technique capable of rapidly generating rich chemical information. However, many chemical problems are limited to the low sensitivity and selectivity due to the spectral similarity of ...

The present work proposes methods for detection and quantification of honey adulterants using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The sample set consisted of 6 pure honey from different botanical sources, 2 sweetener ...

Scintillator crystals are a widespread solution for detecting high-energy radiation. These crystals spread the energy of the particle over time, which fundamentally limits the time resolution that can be obtained. This is ...

Increases in production and final quality of the sugarcane crop require the search for new management and evaluation techniques within the production system, which can range from water and nutritional management, such as ...

Environmental contamination caused by leakage of fuels and lubricant oils at gas stations is of great concern due to the presence of carcinogenic compounds in the composition of gasoline, diesel, and mineral lubricant oils. ...
