Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy

A user-friendly guide to Multivariate Calibration and Classification aim is to provide a readable introduction to the disciplines of multivariate calibration and classification. The field of chemometrics in general, and multivariate calibration and classification in particular, is now an essential tool for many analytical techniques. 

Near Infrared Spectroscopy Proceedings of the 14th International Conference (NIR-2009) covers nearly 260 papers presented at the 14th International conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy held in Bangkok,Thailand in 2009. 

The 15th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy was held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2011.

The Proceedings form an important resource for all those working in near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. They are much more than a historical record: they contain valuable information on applications and uses of the technique, some of which might otherwise have been lost. They should form an essential part of any near infrared user’s library.

Practical Spectroscopy Series Volume 35

Handbook of Near Infrared Analysis, Third Edition explains how to perform accurate as well as time- and cost-effective analyses across a growing spectrum of disciplines.

• Provides new chapters on diffuse reflection theories, the calibration and validation of process sensors, and the NIR spectra of gases
• Reviews software-enabled chemometric methods and other trends in data analysisHighlights novel applications in pharmaceuticals, polymers, plastics, petrochemicals, textiles, foods and beverages, baked products agricultural products, biomedicine, neutraceuticals, and counterfeiting
• Discusses non-traditional applications such as analyzing bowling lane conditions and counterfeit detection for currency, turquoise, and cigars
• Includes 21 new color images of NIR spectra not found in previous editions in addition to more than 400 black and white illustrations and photos

NIR spectroscopy is finding increasing application in medical fields. This book demonstrates its use, alongside radiorespirometry to identify and classify human breast tissue cancer. This book covers both results from our early research, as they form a platform for our later studies, and more recent results obtained by contemporary investigation methods. During the course of our research, there have been many improvements to our experimental practice, and much clarification of issues relating to classification analysis by NIR spectroscopy and the catabolism of variously labeled glucose.

A jar of sweets may not appear to be a serious introduction to the attempt to progress the understanding of the challenging nature of what is usually termed "diffuse reflection". However, this book by the father and son team of Don and Kevin Dahm is the first such attempt since the famous book by Wendlandt and Hecht some forty year ago.

Leaping Ahead with Near Infrared Spectroscopy is the Proceedings for the 6th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR-94) which was held in Victoria,  Australia in 1994.

The Proceedings form an important resource for all those working in near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. They are much more than a historical record: they contain valuable information on applications and uses of the technique, some of which might otherwise have been lost. They should form an essential part of any near infrared user’s library.
