The intensity of the infrared radiation emitted by objects is mainly a function of their temperature. In infrared thermography, this feature is used for multiple purposes: as a health indicator in medical applications, as a sign of malfunction in mechanical and electrical maintenance or as an indicator of heat loss in buildings. This paper presents a review of infrared thermography especially f...

Fecal lipid content is usually determined by titrimetric or gravimetric methods, but these methods are time consuming and involve dangerous solvents. We have developed a new method of measuring fecal lipids by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) with an attenuated total reflectance accessory that is fast and requires no solvents. The spectra of stools from 4000 to 750 cm-1 were analy...

in this study, a single layer sliced potato was dried using an infrared lamp heating under vacuum over three levels of radiant power including 100, 150 and 200 w, three slices thickness 1, 2 and 3 mm and the absolute pressure of 20, 80, 140 and 760 mmhg. samples were dried in triplicate to achieve 6% moisture content (wet based) which is suitable for long-term storage. drying rate was monitored...

Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the universe. The field uses many scientific disciplines and spectrometric technologies to address these important issues. While questions about life in the universe have existed as long as man has looked up at the stars, advances in science and spectrometry in the past few decades make it possible for us t...

introduction: one of the most important aspects of food preservation is controlling the moisture of material such as fruits.dryingis considered as important method to controlbacteriasafely using reduction of moisture. the hot air drying method has been widely adopted in manufacturing of conventional dried food.nowadays, infrared radiation (ir) has significant advantages over conventional drying...

Proximity sensing based upon infrared signal detection requires two parts: infrared LED and infrared sensor. The infrared LED emits infrared signal to the sensing object, a portion of that signal bounces back from the surface of sensing object, these reflected infrared signal was then captured by the infrared sensor. The intensity of captured infrared signal changes accordingly when an sensing ...

introduction this study is an effort to diagnose breast cancer by processing the quantitative and qualitative information obtained from medical infrared imaging. the medical infrared imaging is free from any harmful radiation and it is one of the best advantages of the proposed method. by analyzing this information, the best diagnostic parameters among the available parameters are selected and ...
