Background As electromagnetic waves of particular bands, energy-carrying infrared
radiation, microwave, and radio frequency transfer heat, which affects biological functions …

Spring phenology is mainly driven by temperature in extratropical ecosystems. Recent
evidence highlighted the key role of micrometeorology and bud temperature on delaying or …

A new methodology was developed to identify the spectral complex refractive index of semi-
transparent solid phases within heterogeneous media up to high temperatures. In this …

We compare two methods of characterizing the radiative behavior of 22% porous sintered
alumina disks containing μ m-sized pores on the 1 µm to 7 µm wavelength range up to very …

We introduce a real-time method to monitor the evolution of oak aromas during the oak
toasting process. French and American oak wood boards were toasted in an oven at three …

Wood material surface properties play an important role in adhesive bond formation and
performance. In the present study, a test method was developed to evaluate the integrity of …

Complex refractive indices of micrometric aluminosilicate fibers and of silica aerogel,
components of a biphasic and semi-transparent material, were identified in the mid-infrared …

Abstract Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies in arid areas suffer of a too high
water consumption at the condenser of their power-block. The different alternative dry …

Two solar missions are designed to plunge into the solar corona, and respectively get as
close as 8.5 and 3 Rs (solar radii) from the Sun's surface. Heat shields will protect the …

The aim of the work reported herein was to investigate anisotropy in the temperature rise
occurring on the surface of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) during adsorption. The …
