Variable selection for the determination of total polar materials in fried oils by near infrared spectroscopy
摘要： Total polar materials (TPM) content is considered as the best indicator and the most common parameter to check the quality of deep-frying oils. The development of simpler and quicker analytical techniques than the available methods to monitor oil quality in restaurants and fried food outlets is an important topic related to the human health. This paper reports a comparison of the variable selection of near infrared (NIR) spectra by multiple linear regression (MLR-NIR) with partial least squares (PLS-NIR) models for the quantification of TPM in fried vegetable oils. The use of PLS-NIR offers an alternative in laboratory bench equipment for the determination of TPM in oils employed for frying different kinds of foods with relative prediction errors of 6.5%, a coefficient of determination for prediction of 0.99 and a residual predictive deviation (RPD) of 9.2 when selected wavenumber intervals were employed. MLR-NIR allows the selection of a reduced number of wavenumber in order to develop low cost instruments to evaluate the frying oil quality. Based on the NIR signals at four wavenumbers, the relative prediction error was 12.1%, the coefficient of determination for prediction was 0.96 and the RPD was 5.0.

Detecting volatile compounds in food by open-path Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy
摘要： We previously found that the brand of a food and spoilage of the food can be identified from the infrared spectra of the volatile compounds released. However, this required pumping the volatile compounds into a gas cell, meaning measurements over large areas could not be made. Gas components can be quantified from a distance of a few metres or kilometres by open-path Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the spatial distributions of gas clouds can even be determined using open-path FTIR and an imaging detection method. In the study described here, we used open-path FTIR to remotely detect volatile compounds in food. Active and passive methods were used to obtain infrared spectra of volatile compounds released from spirits, vinegars, and grapes from a distance of 5 m. The absorption characteristics of ethanol, esters, and unknown volatile compounds were clearly found in the spectra. The brands of the spirits and degree to which the grapes had spoiled were identified by compensating for ethanol in the atmosphere and chemometrics. The results indicate that open-path FTIR can be used to remotely detect volatile compounds released by food and may be able to be used to identify spoiling food in large food warehouses.

Physicala??Chemical Properties of Self-Assembled Structures in Solution of Zinc Phthalocyanine and Bis-3-pentyl-PTCDI Derivative
摘要： For the first time, in this work, we succeed in synthesizing in solution a novel supramolecular self-assembled zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and N,N′-bis(3-pentyl)-perylene-3,4,9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (bis-3-pentyl-PTCDI) system with improved light absorption and phosphorescence lifetime of the charge separated states up to 2.5 ms. Moreover, the structural and optical properties of undoped and doped with iodine ZnPc thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman analysis, and UV?vis spectroscopy. Analysis of ZnPc:I2:bis-3-pentyl-PTCDI blend in a 2:1 ratio shows that sandwich complexes between them result in improved bulk properties as compared to those of the single-component systems.

Comparative identification of citrus huanglongbing by analyzing leaves using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopy
摘要： In this work, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), and LIBS joint NIR (LIBS–NIR) were investigated for the identification of citrus huanglongbing (HLB). The content of minerals like calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), and potassium (K) was obtained by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The spectra of LIBS, NIR, and LIBS–NIR were operated by discriminating analysis (DA) and multi-layer perception (MLP). The results of AAS and Kolmogorov–Smirnov Test (K–S test) showed that the Ca and Zn decreased significantly in HLB infected leaves, but K is not significantly influence by HLB. The LIBS–NIR combining with MLP-PCA had highest diagnostic accuracy of 89.5% and 95.7% in training and test set, respectively. These results proved that joint spectrum of LIBS–NIR is a feasible method to identify citrus HLB.

[IEEE 2019 21st International Middle East Power Systems Conference (MEPCON) - Cairo, Egypt (2019.12.17-2019.12.19)] 2019 21st International Middle East Power Systems Conference (MEPCON) - Experimental Realization for P&O Maximum Power Point Tracking Applied for Single-Stage Three-Phase Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System
摘要： This paper presents a point of care testing device for neurovascular coupling (NVC) from simultaneous recording of electroencephalogram (EEG) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Here, anodal tDCS modulated cortical neural activity leading to hemodynamic response can be used to identify the impaired cerebral microvessels functionality. The impairments in the cerebral microvessels functionality may lead to impairments in the cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), where severely reduced CVR predicts the chances of transient ischemic attack and ipsilateral stroke. The neural and hemodynamic responses to anodal tDCS were studied through joint imaging with EEG and NIRS, where NIRS provided optical measurement of changes in tissue oxy-(HbO2) and deoxy-(Hb) hemoglobin concentration and EEG captured alterations in the underlying neuronal current generators. Then, a cross-correlation method for the assessment of NVC underlying the site of anodal tDCS is presented. The feasibility studies on healthy subjects and stroke survivors showed detectable changes in the EEG and the NIRS responses to a 0.526 A/m2 of anodal tDCS. The NIRS system was bench tested on 15 healthy subjects that showed a statistically signi?cant (p < 0.01) difference in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) between the ON- and OFF-states of anodal tDCS where the mean SNR of the NIRS device was found to be 42.33 ± 1.33 dB in the ON-state and 40.67±1.23 dB in the OFF-state. Moreover, the clinical study conducted on 14 stroke survivors revealed that the lesioned hemisphere with impaired circulation showed signi?cantly (p < 0.01) less change in HbO2 than the nonlesioned side in response to anodal tDCS. The EEG study on healthy subjects showed a statistically signi?cant (p < 0.05) decrease around individual alpha frequency in the alpha band (8–13 Hz) following anodal tDCS. Moreover, the joint EEG-NIRS imaging on 4 stroke survivors showed an immediate increase in the theta band (4–8 Hz) EEG activity after the start of anodal tDCS at the nonlesioned hemisphere. Furthermore, cross-correlation function revealed a signi?cant (95% con?dence interval) negative cross correlation only at the nonlesioned hemisphere during anodal tDCS, where the log-transformed mean-power of EEG within 0.5–11.25 Hz lagged HbO2 response in one of the stroke survivors with white matter lesions. Therefore, it was concluded that the anodal tDCS can perturb the local neural and the vascular activity (via NVC) which can be used for assessing regional NVC functionality where con?rmatory clinical studies are required.

Enhancement of optical penetration depth of LED-based NIRS systems by comparing different beam profiles
摘要： Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive brain imaging technique involving the quantification of oxy and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations resolved from the measurement of Near-Infrared (NIR) light attenuation within the tissue. Previous studies have shown that NIR light is more influenced by the optical properties of the superficial layers than those of the deeper target layers such as cortex. NIR light produced by the Laser source penetrates deeper regions of the tissue rather than the LED source although Laser needs more expensive instrumentation. In this study, we investigate the effect of Uniform and Gaussian beam profiles on the enhancement of LED light penetration depth. The latter beam profiles were generated and compared using Flat and Aspherical lenses applied to the LED sources. In order to increase the signal to noise ratio, the lenses were also applied to the light detector. For performance analysis, two experiments were carried out by scanning the intra space of a liquid phantom by static and dynamic (pulsating) absorbers. Monte Carlo simulations were also carried out to be compared with the experiment. The results showed that Gaussian beam profile and in particular, Bi-Convex lenses applied to both source and detector leads to a greater light penetration depth in the liquid phantom close to that of a Laser source.

Development of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer/graphene oxide nanocomposites for crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules
摘要： Renewable sources of energy, such as solar cells, stand out as promising sustainable alternatives, given the growing world energy demand. The crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules are the most used in the conversion of solar energy into electricity. These modules are subject to weather conditions that may cause degradation of the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) encapsulant (cross-linked EVA copolymer), affecting the efficiency, stability and service life of the PV conversion. In this work, the development of an encapsulant was performed, based on the addition of graphene oxide (GO) to EVA encapsulant forming the nanocomposite (EVA/GO), in order to improve the stabilization against photodegradation. Nanocomposites with GO concentrations wt. %: 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.0% and 2.0% were characterized by: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy by attenuated total reflectance (ATR-FTIR) thermogravimetry (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), before and after they underwent accelerated aging processes in Weather-Ometer and UVB rays chambers. In general, the addition of GO minimized EVA encapsulant degradation. Only the encapsulant with GO concentration of 0.25 wt% was shown as promising for photovoltaic modules, since the transparency of the films with higher concentrations was impaired.

Macrostickies measurement by an automated method using laser triangulation and near infrared spectroscopy
摘要： In recycled paper processes, stickies are at the origin of many production disturbances, such as machine breaks, defects in paper and converting problems. Typically, a macrostickies measurement involves separating them from the pulp by screening, then characterising by one of the available inspection and classification methods. The most recognized method in Europe is INGEDE#4. It gives useful information about stickies particles count and size. However the measurement is time-consuming, because of the manual preparation involving numerous steps. In this work, we present an automated macro-contaminant measurement method which allows to (i) determine the 3 dimensional morphology of screened particles (without any deformation) and (ii) classify the particles as stickies among contaminants. This is achieved by a combination of laser triangulation and local near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Starting from the screened contaminants deposited on a filter paper, the stickies measurement is fully automated. The stickies count results from the proposed method are closely correlated with those from the INGEDE#4 method.

Open-Source Python Module for Automated Preprocessing of Near Infrared Spectroscopic Data
摘要： Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an analytical technique for determining the chemical composition or structure of a given sample. For several decades, NIRS has been a frequently used analysis tool in agriculture, pharmacology, medicine, and petrochemistry. The popularity of NIRS is constantly growing as new application areas are discovered. Contrary to mid infrared spectral region, the absorption bands in near infrared spectral regions are often non-specific, broad, and overlapping. Analysis of NIR spectra requires multivariate methods which are highly subjective to noise arising from instrumentation, scattering effects, and measurement setup. NIRS measurements are also frequently performed outside of a laboratory which further contributes to the presence of noise. Therefore, preprocessing is a critical step in NIRS as it can vastly improve the performance of multivariate models. While extensive research regarding various preprocessing methods exists, selection of the best preprocessing method is often determined through trial-and-error. A more powerful approach for optimizing preprocessing in NIRS models would be to automatically compare a large number of preprocessing techniques (e.g., through grid-search or hyperparameter tuning). To enable this, we present, nippy, an open-source Python module for semi-automatic comparison of NIRS preprocessing methods (available at https://github.com/uef-bbc/nippy). We provide here a brief overview of the capabilities of nippy and demonstrate the typical usage through two examples with public datasets.

Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) With 1,064a??nm Laser to Improve Cerebral Metabolism of the Human Brain In Vivo
摘要： Background and Objectives: In our previous proof‐of‐principle study, transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) with 1,064‐nm laser was reported to significantly increase concentration changes of oxygenated hemoglobin (Δ[HbO]) and oxidized‐state cytochrome c oxidase (Δ[oxi‐CCO]) in the human brain. This paper further investigated (i) its validity in two different subsets of young human subjects at two study sites over a period of 3 years and (ii) age‐related effects of tPBM by comparing sham‐controlled increases of Δ[HbO] and Δ[oxi‐CCO] between young and older adults. Study Design/Materials and Methods: We measured sham‐controlled Δ[HbO] and Δ[oxi‐CCO] using broadband near‐infrared spectroscopy (bb‐NIRS) in 15 young (26.7 ± 2.7 years of age) and 5 older (68.2 ± 4.8 years of age) healthy normal subjects before, during, and after right‐forehead tPBM/sham stimulation with 1,064‐nm laser. Student t tests were used to test statistical differences in tPBM‐induced Δ[HbO] and Δ[oxi‐CCO] (i) between the 15 young subjects and those of 11 reported previously and (ii) between the two age groups measured in this study. Results: Statistical analysis showed that no significant difference existed in Δ[HbO] and Δ[oxi‐CCO] during and post tPBM between the two subsets of young subjects at two study sites over a period of 3 years. Furthermore, the two age groups showed statistically identical net increases in sham‐controlled Δ[HbO] and Δ[oxi‐CCO]. Conclusions: This study provided strong evidence to validate/confirm our previous findings that tPBM with 1,064‐nm laser enables to increase cerebral Δ[HbO] and Δ[oxi‐CCO] in the human brain, as measured by bb‐NIRS. Overall, it demonstrated the robust reproducibility of tPBM being able to improve cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism of the human brain in vivo in both young and older adults.
