Introduction A near-infrared spectrum (12000 – 4000 cm-1) is composed of combination and overtone bands that are related to absorption frequencies in the mid-infrared region. These combination and overtone bands correspond to the frequencies of vibrations between the bonds of the atoms making up the material. Because each different material is a unique combination of atoms, no two compounds pro...

Lestander, T. A. 2003. Multivariate NIR studies of seed-water interaction in Scots pine seeds (Pinus sylvestris L.). Doctoral dissertation. This thesis describes seed-water interaction using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, multivariate regression models and Scots pine seeds. The presented research covers classification of seed viability, prediction of seed moisture content, selection of NIR w...

Multivariate regression based on partial least squares (PLS2) was applied to estimating one spectral dataset from another set having an intrinsic relationship with each other. An estimation was successfully carried out between mid-infrared (IR) spectra in the range of 2980 - 3800 cm(-1) and that of near-infrared (NIR) spectra in the range of 6000 - 7500 cm(-1) for hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)-w...

The thermal treatment of chicken meats was investigated by generalized 2D visible/NIR correlation spectroscopy. Synchronous 2D visible correlation analysis revealed that there are at least two bands around 445 and 560 nm, decreasing in intensity with cooking time. The corresponding asynchronous spectrum indicated that the spectral intensity reduction of the two bands occurs before the intensity...

In this work, the ability of on-line NIR spectroscopy for the prediction of the evolution of monomer concentration, conversion and average particle diameter in acrylamide inverse miniemulsion polymerization was evaluated. The spectral ranges were chosen as those representing the decrease in concentration of monomer. An increase in the baseline shift indicated that the NIR spectra were affected ...

Kadar Fatty Alcohol Ether Sulfate (FAES) ditetapkan secara titrimetri dan kadar Unsulfated Substance (US) menggunakan Kromatografi Cair Kinerja Tinggi (KCKT). Kedua metode tersebut membutuhkan bahan kimia waktu yang lama, sehingga digunakan alternatif lebih cepat ekonomis, yaitu Near InfraRed (NIR) Spectroscopy. Percobaan ini bertujuan mengkaji ulang NIR spectroscopy pada penetapan FAES US dala...

Visible and near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VIS-NIR) has shown levels of accuracy comparable to conventional laboratory methods for estimating soil properties. Soil chemical and physical properties have been predicted by reflectance spectroscopy successfully on subtropical and temperate soils, whereas soils from tropical agro-forest regions have received less attention, especial...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the biochemical foundation and clinical capability of an image-guided near-infrared (NIR) autofluorescence (AF) spectroscopy technique for in vivo diagnosis of colonic malignancies during clinical colonoscopy. A novel endoscopic fiber-optic AF system was utilized for in vivo NIR AF measurements at 785 nm excitation. A total of 263 in vivo NIR AF spectra of c...

Visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy has been applied to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC) content with many modeling strategies and techniques, in which a crucial and challenging problem is to obtain accurate estimations using a limited number of samples with reference values (labeled samples). To solve such a challenging problem, this study, with Honghu City (Hubei Province, Chin...
