Until now, all methods for temperature sensing in capillary electrophoresis (CE) relied on molecular probes with temperature-dependent spectral/optical properties. Here we introduce a nonspectroscopic approach to determining temperature in CE. It is based on measuring a temperature-dependent rate constant of complex dissociation by means of a kinetic CE method known as nonequilibrium capillary ...

We address the consistency between ASCA and ROSAT spatially-resolved cluster temperature measurements, which is of significant immediate interest given the recent ASCA reports of temperature gradients in several hot clusters. We reanalyze ROSAT PSPC data on A2256 (originally analyzed by Briel & Henry) using the newer calibration and a technique less sensitive to the calibration uncertainties. W...

The calibration system presented in this article enables to calculate optical parameters i.e. intrinsic and extrinsic of both thermal and visual cameras used for 3D reconstruction of thermal images. Visual cameras are in stereoscopic set and provide a pair of stereo images of the same object which are used to perform 3D reconstruction of the examined object [8]. The thermal camera provides info...

A high-quality low-temperature ac susceptometer is calibrated by comparing the measured ac susceptibility of a copper cylinder with its eddy-current ac susceptibility accurately calculated. Different from conventional calibration techniques that compare the measured results with the known property of a standard sample at certain fixed temperature T, field amplitude H(m), and frequency f, to get...

Sparse climatic observations represent a major challenge for hydrological modeling of mountain catchments with implications for decision-making in water resources management. Employing elevation bands in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool-Sequential Uncertainty Fitting (SWAT2012-SUFI2) model enabled representation of precipitation and temperature variation with altitude in the Daning river catc...

[1] To overcome the difficulties in determining the optimal parameters needed for a radiative transfer model (RTM), which acts as the observational operator in a land data assimilation system, we have designed a dual-pass assimilation (DP-En4DVar) framework to optimize the model state (volumetric soil moisture content) and model parameters simultaneously using the gridded Advanced Microwave Sca...

This paper presents a state-of-the-art whispering gallery mode (WGM) thermometer system, which could replace platinum resistance thermometers currently used in many industrial applications, thus overcoming some of their well-known limitations and their potential for providing lower measurement uncertainty. The temperature-sensing element is a sapphire-crystal-based whispering gallery mode reson...

A camera in the building site is exposed to different weather conditions. Differences between images of the same scene captured with the same camera arise also due to temperature variations. The influence of temperature changes on camera parameters were modelled and integrated into existing analytical camera model. Modified camera model enables quantitatively assessing the influence of temperat...

A method of measuring the precise temperature distribution of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by quantitative infrared micro-thermography is reported. To reduce the calibration error, the same measuring conditions were used for both calibration and thermal imaging; calibration was conducted on a highly emissive black-painted area on a dummy sapphire wafer loaded near the LED wafer on a t...
