There are several good mechanical engineering data books on the market but these tend to be very bulky and expensive, and are usually only available in libraries as reference books. The Mechnical Engineer’s Data Handbook has been compiled with the e
This paper presents a real-time image analysis system that was installed at a phosphorus oxide flotation process. The focus of the image analysis system is to effectively estimate bubble size. Flotation is one of the most challenging processes for m
Spatial analysis methods have seen a rapid rise in popularity due to demand from a wide range of fields. These include, among others, biology, spatial economics, image processing, environmental and earth science, ecology, geography, epidemiology, ag
Microbially mediated reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions are often invoked as being the mechanisms by which redox state influences the degradation of sedimentary organic matter (OM) in the marine environment. To evaluate the effects of elevated, o
Making obscure knowledge about matrix decompositions widely available, Understanding Complex Datasets: Data Mining with Matrix Decompositions discusses the most common matrix decompositions and shows how they can be used to analyze large datasets in
milled products show yellowish color, desirable for pastas. It is milled to a grainier product (semolina) that favors cooking quality. The durum wheats have higher protein and mineral content than the soft wheats. The turgidum wheats, except the dur
Oil shale is an important potential energy source, consisting of an inorganic mineral matrix containing organic matter. The organic matter is generally divided into two fractions: bitumen and kerogen. Kerogen is insoluble in normal organic solvents
Core mineral spectrometer is one of the advanced and important tools for core digitalization, altered mineral mapping, ore deposits exploring, and ore-searching in surrounding mine and beneficiation process. In this letter, a new core mineral spectro
This study provides a rapid method for quantification of mineral oil in rapeseed oil using near-infrared spectroscopy. The data were processed by direct orthogonal signal correction (DOSC), successive projections algorithm (SPA), partial least square
