Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) has a strong potential to be established as a new contact-free measuring method in medicine. Hyperspectral cameras and data processing have to fulfill requirements concerning practicability and validity to be integrated in clinical routine processes
Aging is a dynamic and irreversible physiological process, which leads to the progressive decline of biological functions involving all tissues and organs, due to a variety of endogenous and environmental factors. Metabolic changes are some of the hallmarks of aging and the alteration of metabolic pathways may accelerate the process and the onset of age-related diseases.
This paper presents an attempt to use the hybrid rocket for marine applications with a 500 N class hybrid motor. A 5-port high density polyethylene (HDPE) fuel grain was used as a test-bed for the preliminary assessment of the underwater boosting device

This, of course, excludes the v…
