AbstractThe near-infrared (NIR) spectral range (2–5 μm) contains a number of interesting features for the study of the interstellar medium. In particular, the aromatic and aliphatic components in carbonaceous dust can be investigated most efficiently with the NIR spectroscopy. We analyze NIR spectra of the diffuse Galactic emission taken with the Infrared Camera onboard AKARI and find that the aliphatic to aromatic emission band ratio decreases toward the ionized gas, which suggests processing of the band carriers in the ionized region.

In order to add value to recycled textile material and to guarantee that the input material for recycling processes is of adequate quality, it is essential to be able to accurately recognise and sort items according to their material content. Therefore, there is a need for an economically viable and effective way to recognise and sort textile materials. Automated recognition and sorting lines provide a method for ensuring better quality of the fractions being recycled and thus enhance the availability of such fractions for recycling. The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of NIR spectroscopy technology in the recognition of textile materials by studying the effects of structural fabric properties on the recognition. The identified properties of fabrics that led non-matching recognition were coating and finishing that lead different recognition of the material depending on the side facing the NIR analyser. In addition, very thin fabrics allowed NIRS to penetrate through the fabric and resulted in the non-matching recognition. Additionally, ageing was found to cause such chemical changes, especially in the spectra of cotton, that hampered the recognition.

This study attempted the feasibility to determine the ratio of tea polyphenols to amino acids in green tea infusion using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with synergy interval PLS (siPLS) algorithms. First, SNV was used to preprocess the original spectra of tea infusion; then, siPLS was used to select the efficient spectra regions from the preprocessed spectra. Experimental results showed that the spectra regions [7 8 18] were selected, which were out of the strong absorption of H2O. The optimal PLS model was developed with the selected regions when 6 PCs components were contained. The RMSEP value was equal to 0.316 and the correlation coefficient (R) was equal to 0.8727 in prediction set. The results demonstrated that NIR can be successfully used to determinate the ration of tea polyphenols to amino acids in green tea infusion.

The solidification point is a key quality parameter for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The traditional solidification point measurement method of TNT is complicated, dangerous, not environmentally friendly and time-consuming. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) analysis technology has been applied successfully in the chemical, petroleum, food, and agriculture sectors owing to its characteristics of fast analysis, no damage to the sample and online application. The purpose of this study was to study near infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods to develop a fast and accurate quantitative analysis method for the solidification point of TNT. The model constructed using PLS regression was successful in predicting the solidification point of TNT ([Formula: see text] = 0.999, RMSECV = 0.19, RPDCa = 33.5, [Formula: see text] = 0.19, [Formula: see text] = 0.999). Principal component analysis shows that the model could identify samples from different reactors. The results clearly demonstrate that the solidification point can be measured in a short time by NIR spectroscopy without any pretreatment for the sample and skilled laboratory personnel.

Observational study of protostars and their immediate environs has recently become possible as a result of advances in infrared spectroscopy, especially in the near infrared (A = 2—5 pm). Although such stars are totally obscured at optical wavelengths by the enshrouding dust and gas from which they formed, the near infrared spectroscopy has yielded detection of emission lines from both ionized gas and high excitation molecular gas ( T >2000 K) probably within a few astronomical units of several such sources (e.g. the BN object in the Orion nebula). The former lines provide the first constraints on the spectral type and temperature of the protostar; the latter reveal the physical conditions (density and temperature) and gas dynamics in the immediate protostellar nebula. . Data on the BN object covering the CO, 13 CO, and H 2 vibrational bands and the H II lines are presented as an illustration of these techniques.

AbstractProtoclusters at high redshifts are the ideal laboratories to study how the environmental dependences of galaxy properties seen in local Universe were initially set up when the progenitors of present-day early-type galaxies were in their early formation phases. We have conducted a deep near-infrared spectroscopy of Hα emitters (HAEs) associated with two protoclusters (PKS 1138–262 at z = 2.16 and USS 1558–003 at z = 2.53) with the Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) on the Subaru telescope.As a result, the cluster membership of 27 and 36 HAEs are newly confirmed in these two protoclusters, respectively. The inferred dynamical masses of the protocluster cores are consistent with being the typical progenitors of present-day most massive clusters (Shimakawa et al.2014a). Also, those HAEs in the protoclusters show much higher [OIII]/Hβ ratios than local star forming galaxies. It is probably caused by the combination of their much higher specific star formation rates, lower gaseous metallicities and redshift evolution of inter-stellar medium. We also find that the mass-metallicity relation in the protocluster galaxies is offset to higher metallicity compared to those of field galaxies at a given stellar mass at M∗<1011M⊙ (Shimakawa et al.2014b). This trend is compatible with the recent work (Kulas et al.2013). The mass-metallicity relation is regulated not only by star formation history hence metal production history, but also by inflow and outflow processes that are known to be very active at z > 2 (Steide et al.2010). It suggests that the higher gaseous metallicities of protocluster galaxies may be caused by those gas transfer processes that are dependent on surrounding environments.

Brown dwarfs (hereafter BDs) are of particular interest because of their extremely low-temperature atmospheres for comparison with atmospheres of giant planets. Aiming to obtain clues to understand the formation and disappearance of dust clouds and molecular abundances in BD photospheres, we conducted an observation programme of space-borne near-infrared spectroscopy of bright BDs with the Infrared Camera (IRC) on-board AKARI.

The importance of the selection and classification processes in the industry of agricultural products and the increase in the production of fruits make necessary the development and implementation of new techniques to efficiently perform these tasks. Techniques such as NIR spectroscopy have proved to have potential to accomplish this purpose. The aim of this research was to evaluate the performance of near infrared spectroscopy as a classification tool for agraz (Vaccinium meridionale Swartz), according to its state of maturity. In order to obtainthe classification models, the PCA and SIMCA methods were used. Results were obtained close to 100% accuracy in the classification for maturity stages 4 and 5 and between 81 and 90% for maturity stage 3. The NIR spectroscopy appears as a suitable technique for the classification of fruits of agraz according to their state of maturity.

Validation Set

For the fast and exact detection of printing color, we combine the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technique with partial least square (PLS) to build the detection model of printing color. Applying the 144 samples of spectral curve which obtained by the near infrared spectroscopy randomly separated into calibration set and validation set, and base on the 120 calibration set data to establish the prediction model of printing color by PLS, then this model is employed for predicting the color of the 24 validation set. The RMSEC of the 24 blocks’ color parameters L*, a*, b*, E are 0.73, 2.26, 3.03 and 1.09 respectively; The RMSEP are 0.97, 2.77, 3.57 and 1.34 respectively. Those results tell that the NIR spectrum and blocks’ color parameters L*, a*, b*, E could accurately establish a quantitative regression model, applying such model also can accurately predict unknown samples, and the results approximate to the original reference data. The use of near infrared spectroscopy to detect the printed matter nondestructively is feasible, and lays the foundation for the further analysis and establishment of printing chroma model.
