The Effect of Temperature on the Inflorescence Formation Model for .

orchids are a popular ornamental plant in the flower market. During some festivals, demand increases significantly. These mature orchids must be placed in cooling rooms for inflorescence formation at specific times to increase the financial return from their sale.

Study on the Shape Characteristics and the Allometry of Leaves for Greenhouse Management.

orchids are highly economical ornamental potted plants. Controlling their production schedule requires information on the leaf development characteristics of the orchids. leaves affect the plant's photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

Use of Modern Regression Analysis in the Dielectric Properties of Foods.

The dielectric properties of food materials is used to describe the interaction of foods with electromagnetic energy for food technology and engineering. To quantify the relationship between dielectric properties and influencing factors, regression analysis is used in our study. Many linear or polynomial regression equations are proposed.

Uncertainty Analysis in Humidity Measurements by the Psychrometer Method.

The most common and cheap indirect technique to measure relative humidity is by using psychrometer based on a dry and a wet temperature sensor. In this study, the measurement uncertainty of relative humidity was evaluated by this indirect method with some empirical equations for calculating relative humidity. Among the six equations tested, the Penman equation had the best predictive ability for the dry bulb temperature range of 15-50 °C.

Fiber cross-sectional imaging by manually controlled low coherence light sources.

We couple a variable-coherence light beam into a multimode optical fiber and observe the fiber cross-sectional images. The variation in the fiber imaging is explored as we change the degree of optical coherence of the incident light. Low coherence light is shown to be capable of improving the quality of the fiber images.
