We derive Kubelka-Munk (KM) theory systematically from the radiative transport equation (RTE) by analyzing the system of equations resulting from applying the double spherical harmonics method of order one and transforming that system into one governing the positive- and negative-going fluxes. Through this derivation, we establish the theoretical basis of KM theory, identify all parameters, and determine its range of validity. Moreover, we are able to generalize KM theory to take into account general boundary sources and nonhomogeneous terms, for example. The generalized Kubelka-Munk (gKM) equations are also much more accurate at approximating the solution of the RTE. We validate this theory through comparison with numerical solutions of the RTE.

Remote sensing plays an important role in plant cultivation and ecological monitoring. This sensing is often based on measuring spectra of leaf reflectance, which are dependent on morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics of plants. However, interpretation of the reflectance spectra requires the development of new tools to analyze relations between plant characteristics and leaf reflectance.

Brownmillerite KBiFeO (KBFO) and KbiFeTiO (KBFTO) ceramics were synthesized using the prereacted nanopowders of KFeO (KFO) and BiFeO (BFO), and KFO and BiFeTiO (BFTO), respectively, via the reactive templated method. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the monoclinic phase of the KBFO and KBFTO samples. The incorporation of Ti at Fe site prevented the formation of a secondary phase (BiFeO) in the KBFTO sample.

The use of small organic molecules, such as chalcones, for efficient applications as organic luminescent materials has attracted increasing attention owing to their interesting optical, photophysical, and biological properties. In this study, a new chalcone, 1-(4-isopropylphenyl)-5-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)pent-1-en-3-one (INM), was synthesized via base condensation between nabumetone and cuminaldehyde. INM was subsequently identified and characterized by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy (H and C), mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and FESEM studies.

The present investigation describes the synthesis of luminescent terbium-doped strontium aluminate nanoparticles emitting bright green light, which were synthesized through a solid-state reaction method assisted by microwave radiation. Various samples containing different concentrations of Tb were synthesized, and an analysis of their structural and morphological features was conducted using powder x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The band gaps of the samples were determined utilizing the Kubelka-Munk method.
