Production of prototype lab-scale oak barrel analogues using additive manufacturing by Hugh Holds, Kerry Wilkinson, David Jeffery, Frances Jack, Sue Bastian

“… Experiments involving the maturation of wine or spirits in oak barrels are economically challenging to undertake, especially when there is a need for extensive replication to account for the compositional variability of oak wood. Barrel maturation is also difficult to emulate at a laboratory scale due to the significant increase in surface-area to volume ratio when working with smaller barrel formats. …”

Video Spectral Methods and Tools for Monitoring of Controlled Parameters of Forest Fires and Oil Spill Accidents by A. S. Sizikov, Y. V. Belyaev, I. M. Tsykman, A. P. Popkov

“…Its purpose, composition and main technical parameters were indicated.Spectral-polarization studies of the characteristics of samples that simulates objects (pollution) of natural (forest fires) and man-made (oil spills) emergencies were performed with the help of complex “Vizir” using polarizing nozzles under various conditions (angles of illumination, observation, pollution concentration, the time that passed since the contamination, the degree of wood thermal damage). The results of studies made it possible to increase the accuracy of identification of monitoring objects in emergency zones up to two times.The main provisions of the two developed methods were outlined. …”
