There are many applications which can take advantage of hyperspectral remote sensing. Atmosphere: water vapor, cloud properties, aerosols. Ecology: chlorophyll, leaf water, cellulose, pigmemts, lignin. Geology: mineral and soil types.
electroplating definition A process whereby a thin coat of metal is applied to a material. The process involves placing the material to be coated in a solution containing ions of the metal and then passing an electric current through the system, which causes the ions to adhere to the material.
Electroplating is primarily used to change the surface properties of an object (e.g. abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities, etc.), but may also be used to build up thickness on undersized parts or to form objects by electroforming.
