The ability to sense low concentration of ethanol rise an urge, especially in food industry. This paper reported the sensing performance of low concentration of ethanol solutions (0.5% to 3.5%) by varying the length (1, cm, 3 cm and 5 cm) and waist diameter (0.5 mm and 0.8 mm) of etched plastic optical fiber. Plastic Optical fiber with waist diameter of 0.5 mm with unclad length of 3 cm give an optimum performance in ethanol detection. Smaller waist diameter will increase the absorption coefficient value and affecting the sensor’s sensitivity. The sensitivity obtained by this sensor is 0.0671 a.u/% with linearity of 98% and limit of detection of 1.29%.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
