By combining two mature technologies of imaging and spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging has recently been widely studied and developed, resulting in many successful applications in the food industry for quality and safety evaluation and inspection. These applications include meat quality assessment, automated poultry carcass inspection, quality evaluation of fish, bruise detection of apples, qu...

The cucumber cotyledon greening bioassay is frequently used for detecting cytokinins. Beneficial modifications of the original technique included using 5-day-old cucumber (Cucumus sativus L., cv. National Pickling) cotyledons treated with combinations of 40 millimolar KCl and various concentrations of cytokinins. A dark incubation period of 20 hours was followed by an exposure to light for 3.5 ...

In accordance with the suspension method, coal tar pitch-based SiO2/C composite sphere precursors are successfully synthesized by using pitches as carbon resources and a template agent of SiO2. After sequentially carrying out processes carbonizations, acid pickling activations, spherical active carbons fabricated, their supercapacitor characteristics investigated in detail. The storage type fab...
