Wilbur Scoville was first published in 1895 and has gone through at least 8 editions. The book was used as a pharmacological reference up until the 1960s. Scoville also wrote "Extracts and Perfumes", which contained hundreds of formulations. For a time he was a professor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. In 1912, he devised the test and scale known as the "Scoville Organoleptic Test" while working at the Parke-Davis pharmaceutical company. It measured piquancy, or "spiciness", of various chili peppers. It is now standardized as the Scoville scale. In 1922, Scoville won the Ebert prize from the American
Heat flux sensor wire-wound geometry of the Schmidt-Boelter gauge can measure both perpendicular and parallel flows.In this case the sensor is mounted on a water-cooled body. Such sensors are used in fire resistance testing to put the fire to which samples are exposed to the right intensity level. There are various examples of sensors that internally use heat flux sensors examples are laser power meters, pyranometers, etc. We will discuss three large fields of application in what follows. Soil heat flux is a most important parameter in agro-meteorological studies, since it allows one to study the amount of energy stored in the soil
