Characterization and digital restauration of XIV-XV centuries written parchments by means of non-destructive techniques. Three case studies [PDF]
Parchment is the primary writing medium of the majority of documents with cultural importance. Unfortunately, this material suffers of several mechanisms of degradation that affect its chemical-physical structure and the readability of text.

Selection Models for the Internal Quality of Fruit, based on Time Domain Laser Reflectance Spectroscopy [PDF]
Time domain laser reflectance spectroscopy (TRS) was applied for the first time to evaluate internal fruit quality. This technique, known in medicine-related knowledge areas, has not been used before in agricultural or food research.

Tunable anisotropy in inverse opals and emerging optical properties [PDF]
Using self-assembly, nanoscale materials can be fabricated from the bottom up. Opals and inverse opals are examples of self-assembled nanomaterials made from crystallizing colloidal particles.

Method for coregistration of optical measurements of breast tissue with histopathology : the importance of accounting for tissue deformations [PDF]
For the validation of optical diagnostic technologies, experimental results need to be benchmarked against the gold standard. Currently, the gold standard for tissue characterization is assessment of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections by a ...

Enhanced Photodegradation of Rhodamine B Using Visible-Light Sensitive N-TiO2/rGO Composite
Rhodamine B (RhB) is extensively used for dyeing purposes, and cannot be completely removed using traditional water treatment technologies. Here, we report for the first time the photodegradation of RhB using nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide (N-TiO2) on ...

Prediction of ‘Nules Clementine’ mandarin susceptibility to rind breakdown disorder using Vis/NIR spectroscopy [PDF]
The use of diffuse reflectance visible and near infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy was explored as a non-destructive technique to predict ‘Nules Clementine’ mandarin fruit susceptibility to rind breakdown (RBD) disorder by detecting rind physico-chemical ...
