Avo-AirDB: An avocado UAV Database for agricultural image segmentation and classification.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board cameras have the advantage of providing Bird-view images (Aerial images). This type of image is considered as a rich source of information especially for intelligent agriculture. A dataset of 984 aerial images of avocado threes is made publicly available with a ground resolution of 2.

Comparative structural and vibrational investigations between cocoa butter (CB) and cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) by ESI/MALDI-HRMS, XRD, DSC, MIR and Raman spectroscopy.

A high quality chocolate requires not only a shiny surface, a crunchy and pleasant texture, but also a proper resistance to blooming. All these characteristics are influenced by the physical and chemical properties of the components, which are directly related to their crystalline structure. Some works found that the proportion of cocoa butter (CB), cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) and milk fatty acid (AMF) tend to strongly delay the blooming when mixing them.

Differential Charging in Photoemission from Mercurated DNA Monolayers on Ferromagnetic Films.

Spin-dependent and enantioselective electron-molecule scattering occurs in photoelectron transmission through chiral molecular films. This spin selectivity leads to electron spin filtering by molecular helices, with increasing magnitude concomitant with increasing numbers of helical turns. Using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, we measured spin-selective surface charging accompanying photoemission from ferromagnetic substrates functionalized with monolayers of mercurated DNA hairpins that constitute only helical turn.

Spin-Dependent Ionization of Chiral Molecular Films.

Spin selectivity in photo-emission from ferromagnetic substrates functionalized with chiral organic films was analyzed by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy at room temperature. Using radiation with photon energy greater than the ionization potential of the adsorbed molecules, photoelectrons were collected that originated from both underlying ferromagnetic substrates and the organic films, with kinetic energies in the range of ca. 0-18 eV.

Lyotropic behavior of Gelucire 50/13 by XRD, Raman and IR spectroscopies according to hydration.

The present paper discuss the structural and vibrational properties of polyoxyethylene glycol glycerides (Gelucire 50/13) during the hydration with increasing water from 0% to 80%. The Gelucire 50/13 used as sustained release matrix forming agent in pharmaceutical applications and it was essentially studied by Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SWAXS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy according to the rate of hydration. The hydration behavior of this amphiphilic excipient has been investigated in the spectral range 4000-0cm in Raman spectroscopy, and 4000-600cm in FTIR.
