Martelo-Vidal M.J., Vázquez M. (2014): Evaluation of ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of wine compounds. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 37–47. Spectroscopy of UV-VIS-NIR combined with chemometric analyses was used as a non-destructive technique to build models for the quantitative characterisation of the main compounds of wine. The work in mixtures can give insight...

Optical spectroscopy is increasingly used for cancer diagnostics. Tumor detection feasibility in human kidney samples using mid- and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy has been reported (Artyushenko et al., Spectral fiber sensors for cancer diagnostics in vitro. In Proceedings of the European Conference on Biomedical Optics, Munich, Germany, 21-2...

The objective of this study was to examine the online use of near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy to estimate the concentration of individual and groups of fatty acids (FA) as well as intramuscular fat (IMF) in crossbred Aberdeen Angus (AA×) and Limousin (LIM×) cattle. This was achieved by direct application of a fibre-optic probe to the muscle immediately after exposing the meat surfac...

Preliminary results of a project aiming at unveiling the nature of the extremely red galaxies (ERGs) 1 found in deep optical-NIR surveys are presented. Very little is known about these objects, the critical issue being whether they are old ellipticals at z>1 or distant star-forming galaxies strongly reddened by dust extinction. We expect to shed light onto the unknown nature of these galaxies b...

Non-linear regression based on reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) has recently become very popular in fitting high-dimensional data. The RKHS formulation provides an automatic dimension reduction of the covariates. This is particularly helpful when the number of covariates ($p$) far exceed the number of data points. In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian nonlinear multivariate regression m...

The grey-brown alluvial soil is a typical soil in the Northern China. It was selected as research object to reveal feasibility and possibility of real-time analyzing soil parameter with NIR spectroscopic techniques. 150 samples were collected from a winter wheat farm. And then the NIR absorbance spectra were rapidly measured under the original conditions by a Nicolet Antaris FT-NIR analyzer. Th...

Introduction The Quality by Design (QbD) approach shows significant benefit in classical pharmaceutical industry and is now on the cusp to a stronger influence on biopharmaceutical applications. Monitoring the critical process parameters (CPP) applying process analytical technologies (PAT) during biotechnological cell cultivations is of high importance in order to maintain a high efficiency and...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a fast and non-destructive analytical technique that offers many advantages for a broad range of industrial applications. In this work, we reviewed recent developments in the pharmaceutical domain where it can be applied from raw material identification to final product release. The characteristics of NIR allow the technique to be implemented as a process ana...

A recent analysis of high angular resolution NIR imaging and spectroscopic data in conjunction with Plateau de Bure interferometric mm-line observations indicate the presence of a circum-nuclear starburst ring of ∼1.5” (1.5 kpc) diameter in I Zw 1. High angular resolution NIR imaging, using the MPE SHARP camera at the ESO NTT, HST V-band images, as well as NIR spectroscopy with MPE 3D provide a...

The Vis-NIR spectroscopy technology was studied on nondestructive measurement of sugar content in navel orange. Three different spectral ranges of 450-1000nm,1000-1800nm and 450-1800nm were selected, respectively and five different spectral pre-processing methods of Standard Normal Variate (SNV), first derivative (FD), second derivative (SD), multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) and smoothin...
