It's a good idea to let a coat of varnish dry overnight before applying the next coat. Here's a quick test for dryness : lightly stroke a surface with your finest paper. If the paper produces a white powder on the surface of the wood, it's dry enough and ready for the next coat.

  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A remote-sensing term referring to the process of assigning different colours to different spectral bands.

CONT

The image processing consisted in generating intensity images and one coherence image. To facilitate their analysis and interpretation, a coloured composition has been created with the results. This composition is obtained by adding the coherence image in red, the average of both images phase intensities in green and the difference between these phase intensities in blue. As such, a high coherence level(value close to 1) appears in red and indicates a very good phase correlation between the two images, a consequence of the various mechanisms of radar signal scattering and of the lack of change which could affect the target. On the contrary, a weak coherence level(value tending to 0) appears in black and indicates a movement in these zones during the 24 hours interval which separated the two image shots. Lastly, the white spots correspond to areas with a strong radar signal backscattering i. e. with zones of hills or vegetation.

A double tempering system is preferable for conditioning prior to milling. Unlike hard red spring wheats, the time required to bring sound, good quality durum to optimum milling condition is only five to six hours. Longer periods cause pigment changes resulting in loss of colour in the semolina and the pasta end product. It should be emphasized, however, that this tempering time may vary depending on the quality of durum wheat. A poor grade containing a high percentage of white grains absorbs moisture quickly and may require no more than three hours tempering time. Durum wheat is usually milled at a moisture content of approximately 16% to yield semolina at 14% moisture content.

On préfère un système à double conditionnement avant la mouture du grain. A la différence des blés de force roux de printemps, le temps nécessaire pour conditionner parfaitement un blé dur sain et de bonne qualité n'est que de 5 à 6 heures. Une durée plus longue entraîne des modifications dans la pigmentation et une perte de couleur de la semoule et des pâtes alimentaires obtenues. Il convient de souligner, toutefois, que cette période de conditionnement peut varier selon la qualité du blé dur. Le blé dur de qualité inférieure contenant une forte proportion de grains blancs absorbe rapidement l'humidité et peut nécessiter une durée de conditionnement ne dépassant pas 3 heures. Le blé dur est généralement écrasé à environ 16% d'humidité pour produire une semoule à 14% d'humidité.
