The primary focus of this study investigates the potential of continuous-wave terahertz frequency-domain spectroscopy(CW-THz-FDS) as a rapid, non-destructive technique for detecting microplastic contamination in soil. Focusing on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as a model microplastic, we prepared soil mixtures with varying LDPE concentrations (1 %,5 %,10 %,15 % by weight). We used a THz-FDS system operating between 0.

Okra, renowned for its abundance of essential nutrients, emerges as a promising solution in addressing malnutrition, advocating for sustainable agriculture, and showcasing versatile untapped potentials. Our objective is to enhance the quality, market attractiveness, and culinary adaptability of okra harvests by classifying them into over-matured and adequately matured groups through a non-invasive approach. This dataset is centered on thermal images capturing different maturity levels of okra, categorized into two distinct groups.

Herein, the nanofabrication and characterization of new conductive materials, PANI-CoPc-fur () ((PANI = polyaniline and CoPc-fur = -4-(furan-2-methylthiophthalocyaninato)Co(II)) and PANI-CoPc-fur--MWCNTs () (-MWCNTs = carboxylic acid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes), are reported. Subsequently, an electrospun nanofiber (ENF) composite of , encapsulated with a poly(vinyl acetate) shell, was fabricated. The resultant core-shell nanoconjugated fibers, ENFs-, were adsorbed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), followed by the immobilization of a permeable adhesion top layer of Nafion (Nf) to render the chemically modified electrode, GCE|ENFs--Nf.
