Polyolefin-based agricultural mulch films are widely used to extend the growing season for fruits and vegetables, improve yields and reduce the need for both irrigation and the application of pesticides. The careful addition of prodegradants and stabilizers to otherwise conventional polyolefin materials allows mulch films to degrade in a predictable way in the presence of oxygen and sunlight,...
The infrared Fourier transform spectrum of the S-H stretching fundamental band of CH$_{3}$SH at 2604 cm$^{-1}$ has been recorded using synchrotron radiation at the FIR beamline of the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon. This band is an order of magnitude weaker than the corresponding O-H stretch of methanol, with a very different structure. It is a hybrid band predominantly of perpendicular...
Edholm’s law of bandwidth states that the required data rate in the communication industry is doubled every 18 months. To meet the demand in the bandwidth for wireless communications, several experiments has been carried out using Terahertz (THz) waves (0.1 THz – 10 THz). Though the THz waves are being absorbed by the atmosphere, mainly due to the water molecules, the available low loss...
Non-destructive and high speed imaging is the requirement of many industrial, medical and scientific applications. The principle of non-destructive imaging using Terahertz (THz) radiation (0.1 THz – 10 THz) has been already demonstrated in many research works. Single pixel imaging is the most commonly used method in obtaining THz image which lacks fast image acquisition. Few works has been...
