• Effect of photoperiod manipulation on the daily rhythms of melatonin and reproductive hormones in caged European sea bass
  The aim of the present research was to investigate the effects of photoperiod manipulation on daily rhythms of melatonin and reproductive hormones (pituitary and plasma LH, testosterone [T] and 11-ketotestosterone [11KT]) in juvenile sea bass, kept in net cages under farming conditions in winter.
• Influence of light intensity, spectrum and orientation on sea bass plasma and ocular melatonin
  In this paper we describe the effects of a light pulse in the middle of the dark phase on plasma and ocular melatonin in European sea bass.
• Application of Near-infrared Spectroscopy in Quality Control and Determination of Adulteration of African Essential Oils
  An evaluation has been made of the potential of near-infrared (NIR) technologies in the assessment of essential oil components and in the identification of individual essential oils. The results showed that cross-validation models are able to predict accurately almost all of the components of essential oils.
• In Situ Characterization of Soil Clay Content with Visible Near-Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy
  The overall goal of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of VNIR-DRS for in situ quantification of clay content of soil from a variety of parent materials.

• Rapid Biomass Analysis - New Tools for Compositional Analysis of Corn Stover Feedstocks and Process Intermediates from Ethanol Production
  New, rapid, and inexpensive methods that monitor the chemical composition of corn stover and corn stover-derived samples are a key element to enabling the commercialization of processes that convert stover to fuels and chemicals.
• VNIR Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy for Agricultural Soil Property Determination Based on Regression-Kriging
  In this article, the regression-kriging method was used to account for spatial dependence among soil samples and aid in prediction model development.

• Predicting the Concentration and Specific Gravity of Biodiesel-Diesel Blends Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
  Biodiesel made from different source materials usually have different physical and chemical properties and the concentration of biodiesel in biodiesel-diesel blends varies from pump to pump and from user to user; all these factors have significant effects on performance and efficiency of engines fueled with biodiesel.

• NIR Determination of Major Constituents in Tropical Root and Tuber Crop Flours
  Tropical root and tuber crops (cassava, sweet potato, taro, and yam) are staples in developing countries where rapid urbanization is strengthening the demand for flour based foods. The objectives of this study were to calibrate Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for routine analysis of flours and to test its reliability to determine their major constituents.
• Bread and Cake Flour properties Modeled using LabSpec® 2500
  This study is to determine if NIR is a useful tool to determine various propertied of bread and cake flour. Specificially, the intent is to determine Protein (ds), Softness (avg.), Volume (avg.) and Moisture (%) properties.
• Evaluation Ground Aromatic Medicinal Herb Samples Using ASD LabSpec® 5000 with Muglight attachment
  Samples of three ground herb types were received for model development on the ASD LabSpec NIR system.
