The skin, as the organ with the most extensive contact with the outside world, is always inevitably and easily scarred when subjected to varying degrees of violence. However, when evanescent trauma occurs, the judgment of trauma becomes quite difficult, especially for closed trauma. Evanescent trauma mainly refers to the postmortem autolysis and corruption of body tissues, which lead to the failure to identify the traumatic state occurring before death using traditional detection techniques. Rapid and accurate identification of trauma and even trauma in the evanescent state plays an important role in the actual forensic examination. There have been few records on the development of quick and accurate models for the recognition and prediction of evanescent trauma on the skin. In this study, a predictive model for rapid identification of evanescent trauma in skin tissue was constructed by combining forensic spectroscopy and chemometrics analysis. Based on the mean spectra, principal component analysis (PCA) and corresponding loading plots, suggested that certain biomolecules, such as proteins and lipid molecules, might be the source of the difference between the control group and trauma group, and furthermore, there was a certain pattern of change of each molecule in the continuation of postmortem time. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was then applied to estimate the identification power of the training dataset and the testing dataset. The AUC values were 89.55 % and 94.67 %. In addition, the AUC values of the fresh-phase trauma recognition model were 100 % and 100 %, respectively, and the AUC values of the evanescent-phase trauma recognition model were respectively 92.52 % and 98.77 %. In summary, the combination of forensic spectroscopy and chemometrics completely applies their advantages of rapidity, accuracy, objectivity, high resolution and discriminative power to the study of evanescent trauma identification. Moreover, in judicial reality, the combination of spectroscopy and stoichiometry is also expected to make a huge difference in medical and criminal law applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23656,"journal":{"name":"Vibrational Spectroscopy","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103687"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140621828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To mitigate absorbance drift at different wavelength points, this paper proposes a near-infrared spectroscopy point-by-point quadratic polynomial correction method based on carbon-titanium dioxide powder samples. The method establishes a quadratic polynomial relationship model for the absorbance of each wavelength point between the main instrument and slave instruments. The study utilized two S450 grating-based diffuse reflection near-infrared spectroscopy instruments, with one serving as the main instrument and the other as the slave instrument. The point-by-point quadratic polynomial was employed to correct wheat spectra collected by the slave instruments, and a crude protein content prediction model for wheat was established, comparing it with linear regression correction. After correction, the average Euclidean distance of wheat spectra decreased by 66.71%, from 0.0937 to 0.0321, and the average peak-valley Euclidean distance decreased by 72.28%, from 0.0203 to 0.0056. The standard deviation of the predicted results decreased by 90.69%, from 1.4372 to 0.1338. The correction effect of the method combined with traditional preprocessing methods was superior to using preprocessing methods alone. Overall, the near-infrared spectroscopy point-by-point quadratic polynomial correction method based on carbon-titanium dioxide powder samples significantly reduces spectral differences between different instruments, enhances spectral consistency, and diminishes prediction errors, achieving improved model sharing between instruments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23656,"journal":{"name":"Vibrational Spectroscopy","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103686"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140542354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A technique for deconvolution of IR spectra of hard dental tissues has been developed. It has been established that the differences between the stages of eruption are due to changes in the mineral component (phosphate ions) for all dental tissues, while for the enamel-dentin junction an important contribution is made by fluctuations in the methyl and methylene groups of organic compounds, for dentin the contribution of collagen absorption bands is shown. The differences between the stages of tooth eruption increase in the following order: dentin, enamel-dentin junction, enamel. It can be assumed that in the early stages of tooth formation, it is with the participation of collagen proteins that changes in the structure of dentin occur, which subsequently causes changes in the enamel-dentin junction and enamel.

The use of PCA on the results obtained from GC-FID and FT-MIR indicates the possibility of categorizing the data into two distinct groups: adulterated essential oil and non-adulterated essential oil.

In order to implement rapid, low-cost, and high-frequency detection of E. coli, this study explored the feasibility of Raman spectroscopy. Firstly, theoretical configurations and density functional calculations of N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine in the cell wall of E. coli were performed. Then, Raman measurement models for E. coli were established based on two feature extraction methods (Successive Projections Algorithm, Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling) and four modeling methods (Random Forest Algorithm, Convolutional Neural Networks, Back Propagation Neural Networks, Radial Basis Function). Finally, a method based on the extraction of Raman spectral features using density functional theory was determined to optimize the existing models, and it was demonstrated that this feature variable extraction method improved the accuracy of all four measurement models to some extent.
