Classifying Matter by Composition03:35

Classifying Matter by Composition

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

Emission Spectra

76.7K
When solids, liquids, or condensed gases are heated sufficiently, they radiate some of the excess energy as light. Photons produced in this manner have a range of energies, and thereby produce a continuous spectrum in which an unbroken series of wavelengths is present.

Classifying Matter by State

105.0K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

38.6K
Data that are countable or measurable in specific units are called numerical or quantitative data. Quantitative data are always numbers. Quantitative data are the result of counting or measuring the attributes of a population. Amount of money, pulse rate, weight, number of people living in a town, and number of students who opt for statistics are examples of quantitative data.
Quantitative data may be either discrete or continuous. All quantitative data that take on only specific numerical...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

45.3K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

Raman Spectroscopy: Overview01:20

Raman Spectroscopy: Overview

1.9K
The underlying principle of Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter, specifically molecules' inelastic scattering of photons. When a monochromatic beam of light, typically from a laser source, interacts with a sample, most scattered light has the same frequency as the incident light. This is known as Rayleigh scattering.
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Spectroscopy
  • Computational Biology
  • Machine Learning in Medicine

Background:

  • Raman spectroscopy is a valuable tool for analyzing biological samples.
  • Accurate classification of Raman spectra is crucial for disease diagnosis.
  • Developing efficient algorithms for spectral data analysis is an ongoing challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce ProRaman, a Matlab-based software for Raman spectra classification.
  • To implement and evaluate preprocessing and classification algorithms for biological spectral data.
  • To identify optimal parameters for classifying human artery Raman spectra.

Main Methods:

  • Development of ProRaman software with a graphical user interface.
  • Implementation of preprocessing techniques: wavelet compression and principal component analysis (PCA).
  • Application of classification algorithms: Mahalanobis distance and neural networks (multilayer perceptron).

Main Results:

  • The ProRaman software successfully classified Raman spectra from human artery samples.
  • The best classification performance was achieved using spectral data from 1200-1700 cm(-1).
  • A combination of wavelet compression, PCA, and a multilayer perceptron with eight hidden neurons yielded the highest accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • ProRaman provides a flexible platform for developing Raman spectral classification algorithms.
  • The optimized preprocessing and classification pipeline demonstrates high potential for differentiating diseased and non-diseased human artery tissues.
  • This approach can be extended to classify other types of biological samples using Raman spectroscopy.
