Abstract Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are often used in monitoring activities and to ensure that environmental parameters satisfy industrial requirements. They offer crucial safety measures in the early detection of hazards due to their greatly reduced size, low weight, flexibility, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. These characteristics make FBGs suitable also for use in relation to the human body for in vivo measurements and long-term monitoring. In this study, recent developments are presented with regard to the utilization of these sensors to measure the so-called post-mortem interval (PMI). Such developments rely on numerical simulations based on the Matlab software and… More >

Abstract Water is one of the needs with remarkable significance to man and other living things. Water quality management is a concept based on the continuous monitoring of water quality. The monitoring scheme aims to accumulate data to make decisions on water resource descriptions, identify real and emergent issues involving water pollution, formulate priorities, and plan for water quality management. The regularly considered parameters when conducting water quality monitoring are turbidity, pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia, and metal ions. The usual method employed in capturing these water parameters is the manual collection and sending… More >

Abstract The present study aims at improving the accuracy of weather forecast by providing useful information on the behavior and response of a sounding temperature sensor. A hybrid approach relying on Computational Fluid Dynamics and a genetic algorithm (GA) is used to simulate the system represented by the bead thermistor and the surrounding air. In particular, the influence of different lead angles, sensor lead length, and lead number is considered. The results have shown that when the length of the lead wire of the bead thermistor is increased, the radiation temperature rise is reduced; when the number of lead wire is… More >
