双层PLS算法及其在近红外光谱分析中的应用

针对近红外光谱数据局部效应显著,变量个数多,且彼此间常存在严重的复共线性,并与样品组分含量呈非线性关系,构建了一种双层非线性偏最小二乘回归 (DNPLSR)算法。它将非线性回归和偏最小二 乘(PLS)相结合,先在外层由PLS从样本数据中提取成分,并实现每对成分间的非线性映射,再在内层实施PLS算法,将外层因变量成分的拟合误差反馈计算转换权向量的增量,进一步修正转换权向量,以使外层所提取的成分对因变量具有更优的解释能力。最后,将该法应用于80个谷物样品的水组分含量与其近红外光谱的定量关系建模,效果良好,显示出很强的学习能力,所建模型的预报性能也优于其他方法。     

近红外光谱法测定紫花苜蓿青贮鲜样的营养价值

应用近红外光谱技术(NIRS)直接分析新鲜饲草的营养价值,如饲草中干物质(DM),粗蛋白(CP),中性洗涤纤维(NDF),酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)含量,对畜牧业生产具有重要意义。鲜草中由于含有较多的水分,不易制备均一的样品和进行光谱中有用信息的提取,因此难于进行近红外光谱分析。本试验应用偏最小二乘回归法(PLS)、傅里叶变换近红外光谱技术和液氮冷冻制样技术,建立了适合于不同品种,不同生育期,不同茬次和不同青贮方法即时测定青贮苜蓿鲜样中DM,CP,NDF,ADF的模型,以期对NIRS在测定紫花苜蓿青贮鲜样品这些成分测定的可行性进行分析。所建DM,CP,NDF和ADF模型的交叉检验决定系数(R2_cv)为0.884 6～0.989 8,交叉检验标准误(RMSECV)为3.9～9.7 g·kg-1鲜重。用50个样品对模型进行外部检验,预测相关系数(r)为0.939 7～0.994 9,预测标准误为1.9～8.3 g·kg-1鲜重。结果表明： 采用适当的样品处理方法和光谱分析技术可以实现近红外光谱技术对苜蓿青贮鲜样的营养价值评定。     

Temperature dependence of the absorption spectrum of CH4 by high resolution spectroscopy at 81 K: (I) The region of the 2ν3 band at 1.66 μm

In a recent contribution, (Gao B, Kassi S, Campargue A. Empirical low energy values for methane transitions in the 5852-6181 cm⁻¹ region by absorption spectroscopy at 81 K. J Mol Spectrosc 2009;253:55-63.), the low energy values of methane transitions between 1.71 and 1.62 μm were derived from the variation of the line intensities between 296 and 81 K. The line intensities at 81 K were retrieved from the high resolution absorption spectrum of methane recorded at liquid nitrogen temperature by direct absorption spectroscopy using a cryogenic cell and a series of distributed feed back (DFB) diode lasers. For the line intensities at 296 K, the values provided by the HITRAN database were used. As a consequence of the relatively high intensity cut off (4×10⁻²⁴ cm/molecule) of the HITRAN line list in the considered region, the lower energy values were derived for only 845 of the 2187 transitions measured at 81 K. In the present work, our line list was extended by the retrieval of many weak line intensities leading to a set of 3251 transitions. The minimum value of the measured line intensities (at 81 K) is on the order of 10⁻²⁶ cm/molecule. In relation with the project “Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite” (GOSAT), a much more complete line list for CH₄ at 296 K has become available (intensity cut off of 4×10⁻²⁶ cm/molecule). By applying the two temperature method to our line intensities at 81 K and GOSAT intensities at 296 K, the lower energy values of 2297 transitions could be derived. These transitions represent 99.1% and 90.8% of the total absorbance in the region, at 81 and 296 K respectively. This line list provided as Supplementary Material allows then accounting for the temperature dependence of CH₄ absorption below 300 K. The investigated spectral range is dominated by the 2ν₃ band near 6005 cm⁻¹ which is of particular interest for atmospheric retrievals. The factor 2 narrowing of the Doppler linewidth from room temperature down to 81 K has allowed the resolution of a number of 2ν₃ multiplets and improving the line intensity retrievals. A detailed comparison with GOSAT and HITRAN line lists has revealed a number of possible improvements.     

Active electric near field imaging of electronic devices

An active two dimensional near field imaging of a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) used as THz detector has been performed. The reflective imaging system developed at the ENEA FEL Facility in Frascati has been used to this purpose. This imaging technique has shown to be particularly powerful in resolving various coupling mechanisms of the incident radiation with the device.     

Design, synthesis, and characterization of a calcium-sensitive near infrared dye

Intracellular calcium concentration in biological cells varies from 0.1 to 10 μM depending upon cell signaling and disease states. A direct estimate of calcium concentration in cell tissues within this range is possible with a novel calcium-selective reagent 15C5-774. The molecule of 15C5-774 consists of a near-infrared (NIR) chromophore (λ_max=774 nm) and a metal complexing moiety of benzo-15-crown-5. The reagent shows a strong calcium binding affinity in a 1:1 ratio and metal selectivity in the order Ca²⁺>Mg²⁺>Sr²⁺≈K⁺≈Na⁺>Zn²⁺>Li⁺. The high sensitivity is achieved by conducting absorption measurements in the NIR region where background interference from the biological matrix is low.     

Comparison of CEPA and CP-MET methods

The known CEPA variants CEPA (v) withv = 0,1,2,3 and two new ones withv = 4, 5 are compared both formally and for various numerical examples with CP-MET. The main conclusions are: 1. In those situations where both CP-MET and the CEPA variants are justified (i.e. for “good” closed shell states) the correlation energies obtained with the 7 different schemes differ very little (by something like ±2%), with CEPA (1) closest to CP-MET (difference usually a fraction of 1%) and CEPA (4) nearly as close; this is rather insensitive to whether one uses canonical or localized orbitals. Even CEPA (3) is not too far from CP-MET, which confirms an earlier suggestion of Kelly. 2. In those cases where one of the 7 schemes fails (e.g. due to near degeneracy as in covalent molecules at large internuclear distances) the other 6 usually fail as well, though CEPA (0) is then somewhat poorer than the other schemes. Then no longer CEPA (1) but rather CEPA (3) is closest to CP-MET and then all schemes converge much better in a localized representation. 3. CEPA (2) usually leads to best agreement with experiment since it simulates to some extent triple substitutions. In none of the studied examples does CP-MET show a significant superiority as compared to the other schemes. Possible improvements to extend the domain of applicability of these methods are discussed.     

Orientational anisotropic studies by field rotation technique: near zero-field pulsed EPR experiments of pentacene doped in p-terphenyl

We report a new technique to map the orientational anisotropy of paramagnetic systems without physically changing the crystal orientations in near zero-field (NZF) pulsed EPR experiments. By implementing three sets of orthogonal coils around the sample, we are ble to create a magnetic vector up to 2 mT in any three-dimensional orientation in space. In NZF region, the hyperfine tensor elements are comparable to the electronic Zeeman interaction energy, thus very rich spectral patterns can be obtained by "dialing" in a magnetic field vector without moving the sample. The technique further allows us to examine the site symmetry of organic crystals and powdered solids doped with chromophores which can be photo-excited to the triplet state by laser light. The technique is exemplified in the study of pentacene in p-terphenyl crystals.

Spectral Semi-discretisations of Weakly Non-linear Wave Equations over Long Times

The long-time behaviour of spectral semi-discretisations of weakly non-linear wave equations is analysed. It is shown that the harmonic actions are approximately conserved for the semi-discretised system as well. This permits to prove that the energy of the wave equation along the interpolated semi-discrete solution remains well conserved over long times and close to the Hamiltonian of the semi-discrete equation. Although the momentum is no longer an exact invariant of the semi-discretisation, it is shown to be approximately conserved. All these results are obtained with the technique of modulated Fourier expansions. Dedicated to Professor Arieh Iserles on the Occasion of his Sixtieth Birthday.     

Angle criteria for frame sequences and frames containing a Riesz basis

We obtain a condition implying that the union of two frame sequences is also a frame sequence. Christensen found a condition for this in terms of orthogonal projections. We phrase our condition by use of the angle between closed subspaces. Also a lower bound formula is obtained. We then apply the results to find conditions for a frame containing a Riesz basis to be a Riesz frame.
