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. …”

Blast tests and FEA calibration by Del Linz, Paolo, Fung, Tat Ching, Lee, Chi King

“…This document mostly reports on the efforts to determine whether the steel and sandwich structures were affected by the combined blast and fragment loading to the same extent as was seen for the RC structures. Of especial importance was to determine whether the impacts, besides transmitting significant momentum to the system, also affected its overall stiffness and capacity due to the localized damage. …”
