Sensitive Carbon Fiber Microelectrode for the Quantification of Diuron in Quality Control of a Commercialized Formulation by Serge Mbokou Foukmeniok, Roland Fabrice Yibor Bako, Ousmane Ilboudo, Yssouf Karanga, Evangéline Njanja, Maxime Pontie, Issa Tapsoba, Ignas Tonle Kenfack, Rousseau Djouaka

“…Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of diuron, while square wave voltammetry (SWV) was used for quantitative analysis of diuron. Upon variation of some key analytical parameters, a calibration curve was plotted in the concentration range from 21.450 to 150.150 μM, leading to a detection limit (DL) of 8.030 μM mg/L (3.3σ/m) and a limit of quantification (LQ) of 20.647 μM mg/L. …”

Investigation of Objective Parameters of Vehicle Door Closing Transient Sound Quality Based on Complex Analytic Wavelet Method by Xiaoping Xie, Fandong Zeng, Guangjian Shen

“…The signal is decomposed by empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the decomposed intrinsic mode function (IMF) components are analyzed by the spectrum analysis. On the basis of human auditory frequency range, some IMF components are eliminated and the main frequency bands of the effective IMF components are extracted as the analytical frequency bands of the complex analytic wavelet. …”
