Rapid Prediction of Leaf Water Content in Eucalypt Leaves Using a Handheld NIRS Instrument

Detection of Water Content in Rapeseed Leaves Using Terahertz Spectroscopy

The terahertz (THz) spectra of rapeseed leaves with different water content (WC) were investigated. The transmission and absorption spectra in the range of 0.3-2 THz were measured by using THz time-domain spectroscopy. The mean transmittance and absorption coefficients were applied to analyze the change regulation of WC. In addition, the Savitzky-Golay method was performed to preprocess the spe...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Prediction of starch content in meatballs using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

Meatballs are a popular food in Asian countries. A good quality consists of low starch. In this study, the quality of meatballs was evaluated by starch content using short and long-wavelength near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The result found that long-wavelength NIRS can predict starch contents in all kinds of meatballs. The model of beef meatballs showed a high coefficient of multiple determ...
