Electrohydrodynamic Drying of Carrot Slices

Carrots have one of the highest levels of carotene, and they are rich in vitamins, fiber and minerals. However, since fresh carrots wilt rapidly after harvest under inappropriate storage conditions, drying has been used to improve their shelf life and retain nutritional quality. Therefore, to further investigate the potential of this method, carrot slices were dried in an EHD system in order to...

Infra-Red Plasmonic Sensors

Plasmonic sensors exploiting the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metal nanoparticles are common in the visual spectrum. However, bio-sensors near the infra-red (NIR) windows (600–900 nm and 1000–1400 nm) are of interest, as in these regions the absorption coefficients of water, melanin deoxyglobin, and hemoglobin are all low. The first part of this paper reviews the work tha...

Infra – red soft universality

We show that in a special class of theories the commonly assumed universal form of the soft supersymmetry–breaking terms is approached in the infra–red limit. The resulting universal scalar mass and trilinear coupling are predicted in terms of the gaugino mass.

Infra Red Detectors

Infrared radiations are radiations below (infra) visible spectrum. This emergent dual use technology field is fast emerging amongst the most ubiquitous ones. It spans from low-end automatic supermarket door openers to high-end space based detectors used to detect nuclear tests, missiles and intra galactic radiations. At the heart of this technology is the IR detector. Objective of this report i...
