• 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.
