This article is divided into three parts. The first part, the most important one, deals with spectroscopic methods. Different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are useful for fruit quality characterisation, in particular the visible and near-infrared regions. Concerning the visible one, studies have been carried out on apple, apricot, cherry, mango, peach, red table grape and tomato, when...

The opening paper of this symposium was dedicated to an overview of the existing state of the practice and the advantages and limitations of non-destructive testing methods for the evaluation of historic materials of construction. The methods discussed in this paper include the state of the practice in visual, rebound, penetration, and ultrasound methods, as well as the physical measurement of ...

The scattering and reflection of ultrasonic pulses is the basis for ultrasonic non-destructive testing techniques. However problems are encountered in the interpretation of experimental results in many systems especially those which have target dimensions of the order of a wavelength, where there are no analytical solutions. It is shown that the lack of an adequate analytical theory can be over...

There are several rapidly developing non-destructive physical methods that are increasingly used for the analysis and assessment of art objects. These technologies are posed to bring about drastic changes in the attribution and inventory characterization procedures carried out by museums, private collections, art dealers, and art community as a whole. Certainly today nondestructive evaluation (...
