Drop Distribution Determination in a Liquid-Liquid Dispersion by Image Processing by Luís M. R. Brás, Elsa F. Gomes, Margarida M. M. Ribeiro, M. M. L. Guimarães

“…These image frames were obtained at our Laboratory, using a nonintrusive process, with a digital video camera, a microscope, and an illumination setup from a dispersion of toluene in water within a transparent mixing vessel. In this implementation, we propose a two-phase approach, using a Hough transform that automatically identifies drops in images of the chemical process. …”

Salicylic Acid Treatment Reduces Lipid Peroxidation and Chlorophyll Degradation and Preserves Quality Attributes of Pointed Gourd Fruit by Nitin Yadav, Anil K. Singh, Talha Bin Emran, Ratiram G. Chaudhary, Rohit Sharma, Swati Sharma, Kalyan Barman

“…Fruits were treated by immersing them in different concentrations of SA (1.0 mM, 2.0 mM, and 3.0 mM) and distilled water (control) for 5 minutes. The investigation showed beneficial effects of 3.0 mM SA treatment in lowering weight loss (16.8%), maintaining higher chlorophyll (32.8%) in the skin, and reducing lipid peroxidation (20.2%) compared to the control. …”
