The results show that the position of the backscatter peak of triangular prism Au-Ge-JNPs is redshifted with the increase of triangular prism volume, and the peak intensity increases significantly. By adjusting the volume ratio of Au-Ge metal, it was found that when the ratio was 4:1, the backscattering efficiency peak reached the maximum. The relationship between the average backscattering efficiency and the equivalent radius of triangular prism Au-Ge-JNPs in the visible spectrum was analyzed, and the empirical formula was obtained, which provided a structural optimization design method for the regulation of the backscattering characteristics of Janus nanoparticles..

However, the atomiTransition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have demonstrated significant potential in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics due to their distinctive electronic, optical and mechanical properties. Strain engineering offers a potent method to tune the bandgap structure and carrier mobility of TMD materials. However, the atomic-scale thickness of these materials poses challenges in applying direct tensile strain. In this study, we utilized a rectangular-shaped blister device combined with in situ micro-Raman spectroscopy to monitor the behaviors of Raman phonon modes in a monolayer MoS2 sheet during uniaxial extension. We noted phonon softening under strain, which we attributed to the weakening of interatomic bonds in the lattice. This methodology allowed us to determine the Grüneisen parameters of specific Raman modes in monolayer MoS2, yielding values (=1.35 and =0.9) that align closely with theoretical predictions. We further tested our methodology on multilayer WSe2 to confirm its broader applicability..

MAO Qianjun and LIU Shuangshuang
Black carbon (BC) aerosols significantly impact the global climate and have emerged as a key research focus in atmospheric and environmental sciences. A core-shell model of BC aerosols has been developed, featuring BC as the core and sulfate, nitrate, and organic carbon as the shells. The discrete dipole approximation Black carbon (BC) aerosols significantly impact the global climate and have emerged as a key research focus in atmospheric and environmental sciences. A core-shell model of BC aerosols has been developed, featuring BC as the core and sulfate, nitrate, and organic carbon as the shells. The discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method has been employed to explore how different mixing shapes and materials influence the optical properties of BC aerosols. Results indicate that smaller particles exhibit much higher extinction and scattering efficiencies than larger ones. Ellipsoidal particles demonstrate approximately 20%~30% higher extinction efficiency and 15%~25% higher scattering efficiency compared to spherical particles. Among the core-shell configurations, nitrate-coated ellipsoids have shown the most prominent absorption performance, with an absorption efficiency factor 40%~70% higher than that of sulfate- and organic-coated ellipsoids. Organic-coated ellipsoids have displayed a significant increase in the asymmetry factor, reaching around 0.8, which is 5%~15% higher than other mixtures. Regarding size distribution, sulfate particles have been found to form smaller sizes, whereas organic particles have exhibited a more uniform and slightly larger size distribution. An increase in BC radius has been shown to substantially alter the optical properties of the particles. The extinction efficiency factor has increased with the BC radius. The absorption efficiency factor has been enhanced, while the scattering efficiency factor has decreased. These findings have provided essential parameters for more accurately simulating the radiative effects of aerosols..

Overnight waste oil has low nutritional value, poor hygiene, and poor edible quality. Illegal traders often mix it with ordinary vegetable oil to reduce production costs and improve profit margins. To protect people's food safety and health, relevant departments must strengthen the crackdown on the adulteration of Overnight waste oil has low nutritional value, poor hygiene, and poor edible quality. Illegal traders often mix it with ordinary vegetable oil to reduce production costs and improve profit margins. To protect people's food safety and health, relevant departments must strengthen the crackdown on the adulteration of overnight waste oil. Therefore, this article proposes a one-dimensional convolutional neural network algorithm to assist in the detection method of portable Raman spectroscopy quantitative analysis of overnight waste oil adulterated with sunflower seed oil. Quantitative analysis of simulated adulteration was conducted by preparing adulterated oil products with a wide range and uniform gradient variation. Raman spectral data of mixed oil products with different adulteration concentrations were collected using a portable 633 nm Raman spectrometer. The original spectral data was then preprocessed with baseline correction, noise reduction, and normalization. Finally, the training and testing sets were divided into a 4∶1 ratio, and the model was validated by leave-one-out cross-validation. The results indicate that portable Raman spectroscopy can extract spectral information of two different oils, and the spectral differences between the two oils are mainly concentrated in the two Raman spectral fingerprint regions of 450~2000 cm-1 and 2500~3100 cm-1. A quantitative analysis model for 11 types of adulterated oil products was established based on a one-dimensional convolutional neural network algorithm, achieving ideal quantitative analysis. The determination coefficient of the one-dimensional convolutional neural network model test set was 0.9922, and the root mean square error was 0.0279. In summary, the method proposed in this article can achieve a quantitative analysis of common vegetable oil adulteration, and this detection method provides a specific reference value for frontline applications and on-site non-destructive detection..

Detecting the ingredients of sports drinks has essential application value in protecting consumer health and safety and ensuring the production quality of enterprises. With the rapid expansion of the sports drink market, consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety and authenticity of beverage ingredients. TheDetecting the ingredients of sports drinks has essential application value in protecting consumer health and safety and ensuring the production quality of enterprises. With the rapid expansion of the sports drink market, consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety and authenticity of beverage ingredients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient detection method to meet market demand and protect consumer rights. This study aims to develop a Raman spectroscopy technique based on the combination of Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) algorithms for rapid and accurate detection of ingredients in sports drinks. Firstly, spectral data of various sports drink samples were obtained through Raman spectroscopy technology. Raman spectroscopy is often affected by noise, baseline drift, and other interference factors, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of analysis results. To solve this problem, this article introduces the VMD algorithm to decompose complex signals into multiple modalities, effectively extracting essential features from the signal and reducing noise interference in the analysis results. The PLSR algorithm was used to model the spectral features processed by VMD, and the predictive ability and stability of the model were evaluated through cross-validation and external validation. The R2 and RMSE of the test set were 0.9759 and 0.0024, respectively, and the R2 in the low-concentration application testing stage was 0.8901. The results indicate that the VMD-PLSR method has significantly better accuracy and robustness in component detection than traditional regression analysis methods. In summary, the VMD-PLSR algorithm and Raman spectroscopy-based method for detecting ingredients in sports drinks have demonstrated outstanding potential for application, providing an efficient and reliable technical means for quality control and ingredient analysis of sports drinks. Future work will focus on optimizing algorithm parameters and expanding the application of this method in detecting other food and beverage ingredients further to improve the efficiency and accuracy of food safety detection..

Spectral peak matching with the α-solanine standard revealed the presence of α-solanine-related structures in various tissue types across all three Solanaceae vegetables. Absorbance ratio analysis showed that the green skin of potatoes, the white skin of eggplants, and tomato seeds exhibited stronger infrared responses within their respective samples, suggesting a degree of tissue-specific accumulation. These findings indicate that α-solanine exhibits species- and tissue-level spatial variation in plants. FTIR thus holds potential as a preliminary tool for screening toxic steroidal alkaloids in plant-derived foods. The results provide foundational spectroscopic evidence to support further exploration of distribution patterns and infrared-based identification methods for glycoalkaloids..

With the development of sports science, metabolite detection of athletes has become an important means of evaluating their training effects and physical state. Metabolites such as urea and creatinine in urine are essential indicators for monitoring the metabolic function of the human kidney. In this study, artificial urine samples with different urea and creatinine contents were detected by self-developed near-infrared micro confocal Raman spectroscopy, and the spectral differences between urine samples were analyzed. The vibrational spectra of urea and creatinine molecules were predicted based on density functional theory. The Raman characteristic peak intensities of urea and creatinine and their concentrations were analyzed and compared, and the support vector regression models with different kernel functions were established. The optimal quantitative analysis model predicted the contents of urea and creatinine in human urine. The urea and creatinine determination coefficients were 0.9815 and 0.9681, respectively, and the root mean square errors were 0.0345 and 1.4591, respectively. Based on the quantitative analysis model constructed by metabolites, 800 urine samples of 40 athletes were quantitatively detected for urea and creatinine. The comparison between the detection results and the traditional test results showed that this study's method had high clinical application potential. In a word, near-infrared micro confocal Raman spectroscopy technology is a rapid, convenient, no-pretreatment, and no-damage detection analysis method with great application potential. Its repeatability and stability make it suitable for rapidly screening kidney diseases in people with special diseases..

We propose the PDC-DRE attenuation coefficient depth-resolved model, which effectively resolves the systemic overestimation caused by discretization in conventional approaches. The optical attenuation coefficient (OAC=(3.08±0.64) mm-1) of PTC tissues is significantly lower than that of normal thyroid tissues (OAC=(4.47±0.85) mm-1). A multi-modal image dataset was established by integrating optical attenuation features with OCT morphological imaging, and a custom ThyOCTNet model was employed to differentiate between normal and PTC tissues. Results demonstrate that the ThyOCTNet model achieves enhanced sensitivity (98.5%), specificity (98.8%), and accuracy (98.6%) with multi-modal images compared to single-modal images. This study confirms that OCT multi-modal fusion imaging combining optical attenuation and morphological features significantly improves PTC identification accuracy, providing a new technical pathway for the clinical translation of non-invasive pathological diagnostic technologies..

Using the wheat spectral data, the spectral data after eliminating the abnormal samples were preprocessed differently to determine the optimal preprocessing method. Dung beetle optimizer (DBO) was used to optimize the initial weights and thresholds of BP neural network, and full-band partial least squares regression (PLSR), DBO-BP and BP prediction models of wheat protein content were established. The results showed that Standard Normal Variate Transform (SNV) pre-processing method was the best. Under the same training sample, the detection accuracy of the established DBO-BP model is the highest. Compared with PLSR and BP neural network, the prediction set root mean squared error (RMSEP) is reduced by 58.65% and 46.53%, the correlation coefficient is increased by 10.35% and 5.06%, and the residual prediction deviation (RPD) is 7.27. Therefore, the DBO-BP neural network model can quickly and accurately detect the wheat protein content, which provides a theoretical basis for the detection of wheat protein based on BP neural network..

This method is based on a deep residual network and integrates the CBAM convolutional attention module into the network. Additionally, two adjustment factors are introduced to optimize the adaptive selection of noise thresholds in the residual shrinkage modules. Finally, the Guided-GradCAM is used for the selection and visualization of effective spectral segments. Using this method, the quantitative models built after selecting features related to total sugar and nicotine in tobacco leaves achieved root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.620 and 0.103, respectively, and correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.965 and 0.955, respectively. These results demonstrate higher model accuracy compared to other methods. The CBAM-DRSN feature selection method effectively extracts features relevant to modeling indicators, eliminates noise and redundant information from the spectrum, and improves model accuracy while reducing the model's complexity..

The infrared spectra of four kinds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum treated by oven-dried, low-temperature grinding, naturally sun-dried and steam enzyme-inactivated were tested, and comparative analysis was conducted on the relative peak area ratios (A2927/A3363, A1626/A3363, and A1104/A3363) corresponding to esters, flavonoid, and saccharide absorption peaks in mid-infrared spectra of Zanthoxylum bungeanum with different processing techniques. Multivariate statistical analysis, including cluster analysis and discriminant analysis, was subsequently performed on the spectra of Zanthoxylum bungeanum treated by four different processing techniques. The results demonstrated that: different processing techniques had effect on the relative content of esters, flavonoid and saccharide in Zanthoxylum bungeanum; the relative content of esters and flavonoid in low-temperature grinding and naturally sun-dried Zanthoxylum bungeanum samples were significantly higher; the relative content of saccharide in steam enzyme-inactivated and oven-dried samples was significantly higher. The infrared spectra combined with clustering analysis and discriminant analysis, had a good distinguishing effect on 4 kinds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum samples with different processing techniques. The principal component scores extracted from spectral data were used as independent variables to establish a discriminant analysis model, which achieved both an original classification accuracy and a cross-validation classification accuracy of 100%, and it was able to accurately discriminate Zanthoxylum bungeanum samples with unknown processing techniques. Infrared spectroscopy can analyze the influence of different processing techniques on the relative content of Zanthoxylum bungeanum components. Combined with multivariate statistical analysis, it can distinguish Zanthoxylum bungeanum samples with different processing techniques, and provide technical support for the rapid evaluation of the quality of Zanthoxylum bungeanum with different processing techniques..

To predict the concentration of contaminated grape seed oil, Grape seed oil is a new type of vegetable oil that is rich in nutrients and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the phenomenon of counterfeiting not only reduces the nutritional quality of grape seed oil but may also harm consumer health. To predict the concentration of contaminated grape seed oil, this paper proposes a detection method of adulterated grape seed oil using fluorescence spectroscopy technology combined with the combination algorithm of sammon mapping and support vector machine combination algorithm. Twenty-one kinds of simulated samples of adulterated grape seed oil were prepared, the fluorescence spectra of waste oil and grape seed oil were detected, and the spectral characteristics of waste oil and grape seed oil and their corresponding material information were analyzed. We extracted features from high-dimensional fluorescence spectral data using the sammon mapping algorithm. Then, we combined it with the support vector machine algorithm to predict the concentration of contaminated grape seed oil in gutter oil. Based on the sammon mapping and support vector machine combination algorithm of fluorescence spectra, we established a quantitative analysis model for detecting the concentration of contaminated grape seed oil in gutter oil. The determination coefficient of the quantitative model test set is 0.9560, and the root mean square error is 0.0040. The research results indicate a significant difference in the fluorescence spectra of gutter oil and grape seed oil, among which biological pigments are an important factor causing spectral differences. The combination algorithm of sammon mapping and support vector machine combination algorithm performs well in processing fluorescence spectrum data. Therefore, the detection method proposed in this study, which combines fluorescence spectroscopy technology with sammon mapping and support vector machine combination algorithm, has potential application value in predicting the adulteration concentration of grape seed oil. This study has a specific reference value for preventing and eliminating the adulteration of grape seed oil and provides methodological guidance for relevant departments..

Under simulated actual conditions, they were evenly stamped on the same type of A4 printing paper with normal force to obtain 76 samples of ink color materials. The fluorescence images of the samples were collected using the Dahao-VF10 Pro ultra-deep field high-magnification video fluorescence microscope. The average pixel values of RGB and LCH of the fluorescence images of the samples were calculated through Matlab. The T-SNE algorithm was used to perform K-means clustering analysis on the brightness and color values of the fluorescence images of the samples, and then comprehensive quantitative inspection and identification were carried out. The research results show that 76 kinds of ink pads and ink oils can be classified into 4 categories based on the difference of LCH values for brightness clustering analysis, and into 6 categories based on the difference of RGB values for color clustering analysis. Through comprehensive analysis of fluorescence brightness and color, 76 kinds of ink pads and ink oils can be ultimately classified into 21 categories.

In this work, comprehensive analyses were conducted on the yellow pigment samples using micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) techniques. The Raman spectroscopy, micro-morphology and elemental composition of the yellow pigment in the mural were measured and the results were discussed. The colourant of the pigment was identified as vanadinite [Pb5(VO4)3Cl], a natural mineral pigment which was rarely used in ancient Chinese paintings. The results were considered to be of essential importance for further restoration and conservation for the mural paintings. It is worth noting that the identification of yellow pigments by Raman spectra must be careful and combine with other analytical techniques to avoid misidentification..

Because of the long underground age, there are many rusts on the surface. In this paper, the rust of the six-edged binaural long neck vase of the Xixia was analyzed by means of micro- Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the rusts of the six-edged binaural long neck vase of the Xixia are atacamite, paratacamite, malachite and chalcanthite. Atacamite and paratacamite are harmful rusts, which repeatedly corrode the bronzes, while malachite and chalcanthite belong to harmless rusts and can be retained. The detection analysis provides a scientific basis for making a reasonable repair plan..

Identification of Species of Leaves from Artifacts of Palm Leaf Manuscripts Utilizing Near Infrared Technique
WEI Wei, LI Na, HU Fengdan, LI Li, and WANG Shan
As a form of scripture on palm leaf carriers, the identification of the species of palm leaves used in the preparation of the Palm leaf manuscriptures is of fundamental importance for the study of their production techniques, origins, and conservation. This study employs Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRs) technology to As a form of scripture on palm leaf carriers, the identification of the species of palm leaves used in the preparation of the Palm leaf manuscriptures is of fundamental importance for the study of their production techniques, origins, and conservation. This study employs Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRs) technology to conduct non-destructive analysis and identification of the species of leaves commonly used in artifacts of Palm leaf manuscriptures, namely the Borassus flabellifer and Corypha umbraculifera. Near-infrared fiber optic probes were used to collect spectral data from samples of Yunnan Province. The raw spectral data obtained were preprocessed using Savitzky-Golay smoothing (SG), Standard Normal Variate Transformation (SNV), and Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) methods. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was then applied to analyze the preprocessed spectral data. Through SIMCA binary qualitative analysis, a calibration model for predicting the species of Bayi scriptures using near-infrared spectroscopy was established. The application of this model to three types of Palm leaf manuscriptures demonstrated a significant linear correlation between the near-infrared spectra and the species of leaves, thereby validating the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy technology for the rapid and non-destructive identification of the species of leaf carriers in artifacts of Palm leaf manuscriptures..

Existing palm-leaf manuscripts suffer from various deteriorations, with contaminants being one of the common issues. This study selected four brown-black contaminants from the surfaces of three palm-leaf manuscript artifacts as research subjects. Comprehensive analytical techniques including optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were systematically employed to analyze the chemical composition of the contaminants. Experimental results indicated that all four contaminant samples primarily consist of aged and degraded oil mixtures with dust, and molds and calcium soaps were found in some of the samples. Based on the analytical findings of the brown-black contaminants, online thermal aging-headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Headspace-GC/MS) analysis of mock-up samples preliminarily revealed the impact of oil contaminants on the durability of palm-leaf materials. The research outcomes provide scientific basis for the selection of cleaning materials for palm-leaf manuscript contaminants and the formulation of cultural heritage conservation strategies..
