Different approaches for absorption and scattering spectroscopy of living tissues are
discussed. In particular, a unique system for time-resolved reflectance and transmittance …

The present study aims to understand the phenomenology of char gasification by monitoring
the chemical, structural and textural char characteristics through the gasification reaction …

In this paper, we present an application of machine learning to distinguish between different
materials based on their surface texture. Such a system can be used for the estimation of …

The Scientific Computing for Chemists course taught at Wabash College teaches chemistry
students to use the Python programming language, Jupyter notebooks, and a number of …

Quantifying the organic carbon content of soil over large areas is essential for characterising
the soil and the effects of its management. However, analytical methods can be laborious …

The organic carbon stock in permafrost is of increasing interest in environmental research,
because during the late Quaternary a large pool of organic carbon accumulated in the …

As a new type of pollutant, microplastics have attracted extensive attention due to its
characteristics such as small size and degradation difficulty under natural circumstance …

The influence of boulders in high gradient gravel‐bed rivers can be significant. Yet few
studies have isolated their role in regulating bedload. It is hypothesized that boulder relative …

Peak detection is a crucial step in spectral signal pre-processing. The accurate locations of
characteristic peaks are prerequisite for chemical identification. However, measured spectra …

A novel method based on wavelet transform is proposed in this work for approximate
derivative calculation. An approximate first derivative of an analytical signal can be …
