a humidity sensor thin film based on nanoporous pbwo4-wo3 composites has been prepared by spin coating technique with different weight ratio of pbwo4 (pb) and wo3 (wo) (pwwo-01, pwwo-82, pwwo-64, pwwo-46, pwwo-28, pwwo-01) and their humidity sensing properties have also been investigated at different relative humidity (rh) in the range of 5% - 98% at room temperature with dc resistance. it is f...

Temperature and water conditions affect vegetation growth dynamics and associated spectral measures. We examined the response of the growing season maximum enhanced vegetation index (MEVI) to the growing season temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure and relative humidity on the Tibetan Plateau. The responses of the MEVI to climatic factors changed with the vegetation type, which may be attr...

Plants of the Urticaceae family can develop into a pest on soils enriched with nitrogen. Urticaceae pollen is a biohazard because it elicits severe pollinosis. Pollen grains were sampled by using a Lanzoni seven-day-recording trap from February 1995-December 2000 in the atmosphere of the city of Ponferrada (Leon, North Western Spain). The Spearman test was used to analyse the statistical correl...

Hydrogen-sulfide (H2S) is a molecule of small dimensions typically present in the odor emissions from different plants. The European Standard EN 13725:2003 set a maximum storage time allowed of 30 hours, during which the sampling bag has to maintain the mixture of odorants with minimal changes. This study investigates the H2S losses through Nalophan bags and it shows that nonnegligible losses o...

in this paper, seasonal and diurnal variation of pollutants and the relation between meteorological parameters and the amount of pollutant concentrations is investigated. the data used were obtained from the air quality department of the municipality and from the synoptic station of the institute of geophysics. in this survey, the data used are from 2004 to 2007. the result of survey for season...

One-dimensional SnO₂- and Li⁺-doped SnO₂ porous nanofibers were easily fabricated via electrospinning and a subsequent calcination procedure for ultrafast humidity sensing. Different Li dopant concentrations were introduced to investigate the dopant's role in sensing performance. The response properties were studied under different relative humidity levels by both statistic and dynamic tests. T...

air conditioning is widely applied for the improvement of standard of living in human life. this present investigation focused on the prediction of indoor air quality characteristics of air conditioned car using fuzzy logic algorithm. the conditioned space was selected and the experiments were planned as per design of experiments to study the effect of human load, fresh air supply and air veloc...

saffron is an important spice values for its color, aroma and flavor in the food industry. a significant proportion of saffron compound is lost during processing and storage because of its volatility and sensitivity to oxidation. thepresent research microencapsulated saffron color compounds (crocin) by freeze drying. the freeze-dried aqueous saffron effective compound extract was first prepared...
