These coils were placed at the focal point of a parabolic solar collector of 77 cm in diameter and concavity of 6.6 cm. both proved to be very efficient in heat absorption and transmission to the water into itself, which showed greater heat loss but was the conical, although it wasn't exposed to air currents and that it had an aluminum housing. Meanwhile the flat spiral showed greater uniformity in the behavior of temperatures despite being exposed to air currents.The maximum temperature reached, at a flow rate of 0.15 l/min, was 97.5 ° C in 30 minutes from the initial temperature. Lower flows did not allow to make a reliable temperature reading since the water was going into its vapor phase.","PeriodicalId":356684,"journal":{"name":"ECORFAN Journal Taiwan","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115242411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on a novel image resolution enhancement method employing the wavelet domain techniques. In order to preserve more edge information, additional edge extraction step is proposed employing high-frequency (HF) sub-band images - low-high (LH), high-low (HL), and high-high (HH) - via the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In the designed procedure, the LR image is used in the sparse interpolation for the resolution-enhancement obtaining low-low (LL) sub- band. Additionally, all sub-bands (LL, LH, HL and HH) are performed via the Lanczos interpolation. Finally, the estimated sub-band images are used to form the new high-resolution (HR) image using the inverse DWT (IDWT).

The control sample revealed a compacted, mineralized soil, with a small amount of organic matter and without biological activity, while the other samples with the soil already improved revealed the presence of organic matter with minerals integrated in the soil, also showing the presence of Enzymatic factors and the good biological and chemical activity manifested by the harmony between their zones.
