Paleotemperature indicators and apatite fission track analysis of Australian continental margin cover sequeRces accreted to the active Banda arc-continent collision indicate little to no heating during rapid late Neogene uplift and exhumation. Thermal maturation patterns of vitrinite reflectance, conodont alteration and' illite crystallinity show that peak paleotemperatures (PPT) increase with ...

The Yanqi Basin is a coal-bearing basin in Western China. In order to determine the hydrocarbon generation potential of Jurassic source rocks this area, organic matter composition coal-measure mudstone, carbonaceous mudstone and coal rocks, yields liquid gaseous hydrocarbons, comparison sources were studied by means hydrocarbon-generating thermal simulation experiments. results showed that micr...

We have synthesized ordered carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays in porous anodic alumina (PAA) matrix, and have characterized their total optical reflectance and bi-directional reflectance distribution function after each processing step of the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition process (MPCVD). For a PAA sample without CNT growth, the reflectance shows an oscillating pattern with wavelength t...

PURPOSE To measure and describe the reflectance properties of a mammalian retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and to determine the mechanisms responsible for the RNFL reflectance. METHODS An isolated rat retina suspended across a slit in a black membrane and mounted in a black perfusion chamber provided high quality images of the RNFL. Imaging microreflectometry was used to measure RNFL reflecta...

A semi empirical bio-optical model was developed for the Pakri Bay. Model input parameters i.e. particle-specific spectral absorption and scattering coefficients and slope factor of coloured dissolved organic matter were calculated from the field data. The modelled reflectance spectra correspond to typical reflectance spectra with low chlorophyll-a concentration. The model is intended for the c...

Most ocean color algorithms are designed for optically deep waters, where the seafloor has little or no effect on remote sensing reflectance. This can lead to inaccurate retrievals of inherent optical properties (IOPs) in optically shallow water environments. Here, we investigate in situ hyperspectral bottom reflectance signatures and their separability for coral reef waters, when observed at t...

I present several algorithms for generating a reflectance curve from a specified sRGB triplet, written for a general audience. Although there are an infinite number of reflectance curves that can give rise to the specific color sensation associated with an sRGB triplet, the algorithms presented here are designed to generate reflectance curves that are similar to those found with naturally occur...

total perceptible water (tpw) is an important parameter in climatology and weather forecasting and is directly related to any climate process. there are three approaches to estimate this parameter i.e. using radiosonde, using gps and calculating from satellite images where the first two are localized and the last one can give an instant view of tpw in a vast region. the algorithm used for the t...
