Introduction Because it offers specific information on the manner in which various types of light sources disperse their brightness, goniophotometry is a vital approach for determining how much light there is. For the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and consistency of goniophotometric measurements, a number of international organizations have collaborated to develop standardized units of measurem...
Introduction Estimates of solar irradiance, which refer to the quantity of radiant energy that is received from the sun, are very important to the fields of renewable energy, climate research, and agriculture. In order to understand the availability of solar energy, improve the efficiency of solar panels, and evaluate the effect of solar radiation on Earth’s climate system, exact measurement...
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes Internation...
Introduction Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are gaining popularity as tools for a variety of applications, including surveillance, aerial photography, surveying, and package delivery. It is very necessary to discover answers to the issues that are brought on by electromagnetic interference (EMI), since the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is becoming more widespread...
Introduction More and more research and development are going into improved insulation materials in an effort to make buildings more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
