Infrared Thermography (IT) is an imaging technology aimed at the non-invasive measurement of the temperature distribution of the observed object. The capability to capture the temperature map of an object by an imaging device, makes IT an effective solution within Wind Tunnels systems, because it avoids the undesired drawbacks which are typically raised by intrusive diagnostics, like the altera...

DNA denaturation has been a subject of intense study due to its relationship to DNA transcription and its fundamental importance as a nonlinear structural transition. Many aspects of this phenomenon, however, remain poorly understood. Existing models fit quite well with experimental results on the fraction of unbound base pairs versus temperature, but yield incorrect results for other essential...

Remote sensing plays an important role in mineral exploration. One of its proven applications is extracting host-rock lithology and alteration zones that are related to porphyry copper deposits. An Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) was used to map the Baogutu porphyry deposit alteration area. A circular alteration mineral zoning pattern was clearly observed ...

C-complex asteroids, rich in carbonaceous materials, are potential sources of Earth's volatile inventories. They spectrally dark resembling primitive meteorites, and thus, asteroids thought to be parent bodies meteorites. However, the substantial number exhibits surface spectra with weaker hydroxyl absorption than water-rich Rather, they best correspond meteorites showing evidence for dehydrati...
