Near Infra-red Spectroscopy of V838 Monocerotis

Near IR, multi epoch, spectroscopic and photometric observations of the enigmatic, eruptive variable V838 Mon in the JHK bands are reported. One of unusual features of the spectra is the detection of several strong neutral TiI lines in emission in the K band. From the strength of these lines, the mass of the ejected envelope is estimated to be in the range 10−7 to 10−5 M . The spectra also show...

Rapid Analysis of Cane Juice by near Infra-red

An investigation was carried out to test the suitability of near infra-red reflectance (NIR) for rapidly estimating cane quality components. A large number of mixed cane juice samples of known pol, brix, sucrose, fructose, and glucose content were used to calibrate a Technicon Model 450 InfraAlyzer. Regression analyses indicated that brix, pol, and sucrose values obtained were closely correlate...

Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopic Studies on Epilepsy, Migraine and Paralysis

In the present paper, we have studied immunglobulin (IgG) of epileptic children, migraineous and paralytic patients.  We have compared our results with normal healthy controls. We found that the bands ranges from 1151.94 to 1168.28 cm-1 due to phospholipids (P-O-C ) group appear in some of the migraineous and paralytic patients only. These bands are absent in normal and epileptic patients. The ...

Near infra-red interactance for nutritional assessment of dialysis patients.

BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common problem in dialysis patients and may affect up to one-third of patients. Near-infrared interactance (NIR) is a novel approach to estimate body composition and per cent total body fat. METHODS We used near-infrared interactance (Futrex 5000) to estimate the body composition including body fat percentage, as well as subjective global assessment (SGA), anthrop...
