Raman Spectroscopy of Amphibole Inclusions in Emeralds
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.Emeralds containing elongated amphibole inclusions from Austria, Russia, Zambia and Zimbabwe were investigated with an optical microscope and Raman spectroscopy. The inclusions have various sizes and shapes; curved inclusions are frequently observed in emeralds from Zimbabwe and rarely in those from Zambia.

Connecting with tephras: principles, functioning, and applications of tephrochronology in Quaternary science [PDF]
, 2013 Tephrochronology is a unique method for linking and dating geological, palaeoecological, palaeoclimatic, or archaeological sequences or events. The method relies firstly on stratigraphy and the law of superposition, which apply in any study that connects

Black Plastic Identification for Sorting and Recycling With Deep‐UV Raman Spectroscopy
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.We present a deep ultraviolet (DUV) Raman spectrometer for sorting black plastics in recycling. The common identification modality of hyperspectral NIR struggles with black plastics due to strong absorption by the black pigment. By using a 248.6‐nm NeCu laser, we enable stand‐off detection over a conveyor belt while avoiding fluorescence interference ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil degradation threatens agricultural productivity across Africa, necessitating effective conservation strategies. However, gaps remain in understanding the mechanisms that drive agricultural technology adoption and dissemination. This study applies the theories of innovation diffusion, social networks, and risk aversion to examine the ...
