From:Polymer Engineering and Science (Vol. 41, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedPolymerization kinetics and stress buildup of multifunctional acrylic coatings have been studied simultaneously using a cantilever deflection method and real time one-bounce infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Cantilever...
-
From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 48, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe effectiveness of fluorescence and reflectance sensing technology in detecting crop residues from soils was evaluated. Residue samples from five crop species were found to have consistently higher fluorescence...

From:Ecology (Vol. 80, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedSeveral decomposition experiments were used to explore the potential of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for predicting litter decomposability. A first experiment was conducted on a calibration set, and...
-
From:Crop Science (Vol. 37, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe evaluation of soil profiles is important in turf management. To characterize soil physical and chemical properties, samples can be sent to a laboratory for analysis. This process is time consuming and expensive,...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-Reviewed
How conspicuous are peacock eyespots and other colorful feathers in the eyes of mammalian predators?
Colorful feathers have long been assumed to be conspicuous to predators, and hence likely to incur costs due to enhanced predation risk. However, many mammals that prey on birds have dichromatic visual systems with only... -
From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 12, Issue 9) Peer-Reviewed
The retrieval of geophysical parameters is increasingly dependent on synergistic use of satellite instruments. More sophisticated parameters can be retrieved and the accuracy of retrievals can be increased when more...

From:Journal of Analytical Chemistry (Vol. 68, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThe possibility of the sorption-spectrometric determination of zirconium(IV) and chromium(VI) from a single sample using a two-layer support made of polyacrylonitrile fiber filled with a PANF-KU-2 cation exchanger and...
-
From:Microwave Journal (Vol. 44, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe model 0044-800 dual-polarized four-foot parabolic reflector antenna features a removable boresight scope. The antenna is designed for use in a high power flightline test facility. It also has a circularly polarized...
