Quantitative reflectance spectroscopy as an alternative to traditional wet lab analysis of foliar chemistry: near-infrared and mid-infrared calibrations compared

Quantitative reflectance spectroscopy offers an alternative to traditional analytical methods for the determination of the chemical composition of a sample. The objective of this study was to develop a set of spectroscopic calibrations to determine the chemical composition (nutrients, carbon, and fiber constituents, determined using standard wet lab methods) of dried conifer foliage samples (N ...

Prediction of Freshness Quality and Phosphate Residue of White Shrimp Products Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

 Background: The manufacturing of frozen shrimp is an important industry for the economy of Thailand. The objective of this study was to use Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to determine the freshness quality, including Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N) and Water Holding Capacity (WHC) of white shrimp (whole and chopped shrimp) and phosphate residues of shrimp. Methods: Sixty white shrimp ...

Comprehensive assessment of carbon stocks and fluxes in a Boreal–Cordilleran forest management unit

A carbon budget model of the Canadian forest sector (CBM-CFS2), was modified to investigate past and possible future impacts of management on C sequestration in forest biomass, soils, and harvested wood products, for a forest management unit in the western Canadian Boreal–Cordilleran ecoregions. The model showed that total suppression of natural disturbances, and their replacement by harvesting...
