The new 0.29 version of the EEMlab Project (Excitation Emission Matrices laboratory) is already available. This new version improves the EEMlab GUI with the following updates: the new EEMlab loading procedure for standard CSV formatted EEMs From now we have released this new version (v 0.29) of the project and it is time to play. …
Welcome to the smartBCL project
One of the lines of research that investigates how to make cities the more sustainable as possible is based on the savings in irrigation water used in public gardens and parks. In addition to help making the cities ecologically sustainable, all the activities involved on it should be also economically viables. To achieve this goal, …
Arduino Zero-Compatible board
Here you are the formal presentation of an incredibly tiny Arduino Zero-compatible board that only sizes 15×15 mm! The SBC is designed by Albert Van Dalen that takes the SAM D21G SMD PIC and transforms into an easier PIN version. And, what is the best at all is that this nice SBC is available for …
Good news: Arduino updates!
The New York Maker Faire took place on September the 23rd and 24th. One day later, Alasdair Allan wrote us on Hackster.io [1] about the awesome two new Arduino boards that were presented on it: the MKR WAN 1300 and the MKR GSM 1400. Both boards are oriented to the networking problem set by the IoT …
DIY online tools, the 2017 review
In the last times, there are an incredible and increasing number of online tools, guides and applications devoted to the Do It Yourself (DIY) philosophy. These are very good news for makers, as they have now many different options to solve problems and develop new and awesome projects. In this post I just want to …
Short discussion about the IoT world
The Internet Of Things (IoT) is a (not so) recent phenomenon that is becoming more important thanks to the new technologies used to solve all the problems stated by the IoT world. From my point of view, these problems are mostly related to the way on how the IoT devices are interconnected (networking) the environment …
Welcome to the EEMlab project!
The EEMlab Project (Excitation Emission Matrices laboratory) consists on developing a MATLAB’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) that fully supports the drEEM toolbox (decomposition routines for Excitation Emission Matrices). The join of both, the EEMlab GUI plus the drEEM toolbox enable the researches an easy way to perform PARAFAC analysis onto fluorescence EEM datasets. From now …
Analysis of synthetic ‘rice kernels’ (high resolution)
Introduction In this post we repeat the ‘Experiment 02’ with the difference of generating high resolution images. We refer to high resolution as objects with a major axe about 136 pixels and a minor axe of 68 pixels (bigger ellipsoid in the image). We maintain the AR=2. We set scale with 136 pixels equivalent to 6 mm, simulating in …
Hole analysis in image processing
Introduction In this post we want to propose the use of image processing in order to perform a complete hole analysis in porous materials. As fas as we know, features like structure, size and shape of holes become very important to define the acoustic behavior (ie. acoustic absorption) in all these kind composited materials. The …
How the image resolution affects the results?
Introduction How can the image resolution affect the statistical results on an image processing application? On your left you can observe the same object (an ellipsoid, AR=2) with different resolutions. Low resolution presents a major axe of 12 pixels and high resolution object is about 80 pixels. It seems to be evident (see previous posts, …
