The main objective of the present study was to evaluate variation dependency between physical green coffee beans characteristics and thermal effects during roasting. In this work analyzed roasting process, used differential scanning colorimetry able describe thermophysical processes inside a bean process developed. For analysis were explored six samples with different origins. data obtained sho...

The est~mat~on f cyanide IS generally done by titrimetry, colorimetry and polarography but each method has its own limitations. Argenlometric titration method IS not satisfactory at low cyanide concentralion at ppm levels. Distillation and colorimetry method is accurate but time consuming. Presence of large quant~t~es of chloride does not permit the use of ion selective electrodes. Other method...

BACKGROUND Measurements of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) as an indicator of skin barrier function and colorimetry for quantifying erythema have been recommended for monitoring persons at risk of occupational hand dermatitis. OBJECTIVE This study examines the practicability and usefulness of biophysical measurements at the workplace. PATIENTS/MATERIAL/METHODS: A sample of 1020 male metal wo...

BACKGROUND Dental whitening has been increasingly sought out to improve dental aesthetics, but may cause chemical and morphological changes in dental enamel surfaces. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated in vitro the effect of 10% strontium chloride and 5% potassium nitrate with fluoride on bovine enamel, through tristimulus colorimetry, Knoop microhardness (KHN), and roughness after bleaching with...

The contribution deals with the Matlab application used for television colorimetry and color spaces analysis. The mathematical description of known color spaces (RGB, XYZ, YUV, YIQ, YCbCr, HSV, CMY, CMYK) is introduced including their reciprocal transformation. The application allows selection of input color image, direct and backward transformation into the selected space including MKO, CIE an...

Colorimetric quantification of p-aminohippurate (PAH), which is helpful in assessment of renal function, is subject to interference from sulfa compounds such as sulfamethoxazole. We were unable to measure serum PAH in two patients receiving a trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination because of interference by the latter with the colorimetric estimation. We found that isoamyl acetate removes su...

Fluorescent lamps are widely used in the office environment and in common desktop scanners. These lamps are characterized by the nearly monochromatic emission lines present in their radiant spectrum. Due to the presence of spectral lines special care is required in the computation of tristimulus values under these illuminants. Accurate computation of the tristimulus values can be performed digi...
