Recent advances of optical imaging in the drying process of grains – a review by Jimoh, Kabiru Ayobami, Hashim, Norhashila, Shamsudin, Rosnah, Che Man, Hasfalina, Jahari, Mahirah

“…Meanwhile, the application of optical spectroscopy such as ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis), near-infrared (NIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectral in grain drying were less evaluated in recent years. …”

Monitoring the drying process of glutinous rice using hyperspectral imaging coupled with multivariate analysis by Jimoh, Kabiru Ayobami, Hashim, Norhashila, Shamsudin, Rosnah, Che Man, Hasfalina, Jahari, Mahirah

“…Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an optical technology that harnesses the combination of imaging and spectroscopy techniques for quantifying and qualifying the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials. The visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) HSI system with a spectral range of 450–1000 nm was employed in this study to monitor the moisture content of glutinous rice during hot-air drying. …”

Anomalous high-magnetic field electronic state of the nematic superconductors FeSe 1 − x S x by Bristow, M, Reiss, P, Haghighirad, A, Zajicek, Z, Singh, S, Wolf, T, Graf, D, Knafo, W, McCollam, A, Coldea, A

“…We find that the nematic state is dominated by a linear resistivity at low temperatures that evolves towards Fermi-liquid behavior, depending on the composition x and the impurity level. Near the nematic end point, we find an extended temperature regime with ∼ T 1.5 resistivity, different from the behavior found near an antiferromagnetic critical point. …”
