Practical applications transmission imaging

Descriptions of the simplest data structure entities and explanations of their nature follow in succeeding sections. Basic data structures are stack, queue, and other linear lists multiple-dimension arrays (recursive) lists and trees (including forests and binary trees). Pointer or link simply means computer data constituting a memory location. Level indicates position in a structure that is hierarchical. Link, level, and the elementary structures are almost intuitive concepts. They are fairly easily understood by reference to their names or to real-life situations to which they relate. Evolving computer practice has had two effects. First, the impact of the World Wide Web and Internet browsers has acquainted many computer users with two basic ideas link (pointer) and level. Second, computer specialists have increased their use of advanced data structures. These may be understandable from their names or descriptive properties. Some of these terms are tries, quad-trees (quadtrees, quaternary trees), leftist-trees, 2-3 trees, binary search trees, and heap. While they are less common data structures and unlikely to be part of a first course in the field, they enable algorithmic procedures in applications such as image transmission, geographic data, and library search. 

FT-IR Imaging in ATR and Transmission Modes Practical Considerations and Emerging Applications... 

One of the fields of polymer science for which FT-IR imaging has proved of extraordinary importance in terms of scientific and practical aspects is the analysis of phase separation in polymer blends. Blending of different polymers is a Ifequently used technique in industrial polymer production to optimize the material projrerties. As pointed out in Chapter 5.01, the mechanical properties of PHB can be enhanced by blending with FLA. For the preparation of the optimum blend, it has to be taken into account that the miscibility of different polymers depends on their concentration, the temperature, and their stmaural characteristics. Polymer blends of PHB and PLA have previously been analyzed with miscellaneous methods by several other researchers and in what follows the application of transmission FT-IR imaging will be demonstrated as an alternative approach toward a better tmderstanding of their chemical and physical properties.
