Defect Detection in Concrete Structures Based on Characteristics of Hammer Reaction Force and Apparent Stiffness of Concrete by Koki Shoda, Jun Younes Louhi Kasahara, Qi An, Atsushi Yamashita

“…The impact method detects defects by analyzing characteristic reaction forces generated when striking areas with internal cavities, offering the advantage of being unaffected by acoustic noise and not requiring direct sensor contact. Traditional approaches, relying solely on reaction force signals, have struggled with low defect detection accuracy due to the similarity of signals between healthy and defective concrete and limited data quantity. …”

Noise Cancellation Method for Mud Pulse Telemetry Based on Discrete Fourier Transform by Jingchen Zhang, Zitong Sha, Xingbin Tu, Zhujun Zhang, Jiang Zhu, Yan Wei, Fengzhong Qu

“…In this paper, a noise cancellation method based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is proposed for demodulation under a low signal-to-noise ratio, eliminating the pump noise generated by two pumps with a single sensor during drilling. The method employs DFT to estimate the noise spectrum, subtracts noises from the received signal, and performs an inverse transformation to reconstruct the original signal estimation. …”

Photochemical activity in developing pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.) cotyledons depends on the light transmittance of covering tissues and the spectral composition of light by G. N. Smolikova, N. V. Stepanova, A. M. Kamionskaya, S. S. Medvedev

“…We assessed the light transmittance of plant tissues by placing the plant tissue between the light source and the spectroradiometer’s sensor. PAM fluorometry was used to quantify the photochemical activity in plant tissues: this technique is handy for evaluating the efficiency of converting light energy into chemical energy through the analysis of the kinetics of chlorophyll fluorescence excitation and quenching. …”
