RESUMEN
A software with a graphical user interface has been developed with the aim of facilitating the data analysis for users of a new resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectrometer installed at the ESRF beamline ID32. The software is organized in modules covering all relevant steps in the data reduction from a stack of several hundred two-dimensional CCD images to a single RIXS spectrum. It utilizes both full charge integration and single-photon centroiding to cope with high-flux and high-resolution requirements. Additional modules for further data analysis and the extraction of instrumental parameters are available. The software has been in routine use for about a year now and in that time many additional features have been incorporated. It now meets the users' need for an easy-to-use data analysis tool that allows looking at and understanding data as it is acquired and thus steering users' experiments more efficiently.
RESUMEN
Ultrasound technology was employed to test its action on the extraction of olive oil at the industrial scale. Because of its mechanical effects, ultrasound waves were applied to the olive paste, between the crushing and malaxing operations. Comparative experiments were performed between traditional extraction processes and the innovative extraction process, with the addition of the ultrasound treatment. Different levels of pressure were tested on olive paste, using four different olive cultivars. Pressure level played an important role in olive oil extractability. When ultrasound was subjected to olive paste with a pressure of about 3.5â¯bar, there was a significant increase of extractability compared to the traditional process. On the other hand, there was no significant effect between ultrasound treatment and traditional technology on extractability when ultrasound at a pressure level of 1.7â¯bar was used.
