Abstract
Chemically pure plastic granulate is used as the starting material in the production of plastic parts. Extrusion machines rely on purity, otherwise resources are lost, and waste is produced. To avoid losses, the machines need to analyze the raw material. Spectroscopy in the visible and near-infrared range and machine learning can be used as analyzers. We present an approach using two spectrometers with a spectral range of 400-1700 nm and a fusion model comprising classification, regression, and validation to detect 25 materials and proportions of their binary mixtures. one dimensional convolutional neural network is used for classification and partial least squares regression for the estimation of proportions. The classification is validated by reconstructing the sample spectrum using the component spectra in linear least squares fitting. To save time and effort, the fusion model is trained on semi-empirical spectral data. The component spectra are acquired empirically and the binary mixture spectra are computed as linear combinations. The fusion model achieves very a high accuracy on visible and near-infrared spectral data. Even in a smaller spectral range from 400-1100 nm, the accuracy is high. The visible and near-infrared spectroscopy and the presented fusion model can be used as a concept for building an analyzer. Inexpensive silicon sensor-based spectrometers can be used.

Abstract
Variable selection is widely accepted as an important step in the quantitative analysis of visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy, as it tends to improve the model's robustness and predictive ability. In this study, a total of 140 lime concretion black soil samples were collected from two towns in Guoyang County, China. The Vis-NIR spectra measured in the laboratory were used to estimate soil pH by an extreme learning machine (ELM). First, the soil spectra were treated by the optimized continuous wavelet transform (CWT), and then four spectral feature selection methods (competitive adaptive reweighted sampling, CARS; successive projections algorithm, SPA; Monte Carlo uninformative variable elimination, MCUVE; genetic algorithm, GA) were applied with ELM in the CWT domain to determine the techniques with most predictions. For comparison, The PLS and SVM models were also developed. The coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and residual prediction deviation (RPD) were used to evaluate the model performance. Based on the validation dataset, the performance of the ELM models was superior to that of the PLS and SVM models expect SPA and MCUVE. In the ELM models, the order of the prediction accuracy was GA-ELM (R2p = 0.86; RMSEp = 0.1484; RPD = 2.64), CARS-ELM (R2p = 0.84; RMSEp = 0.1565; RPD = 2.50), ELM (R2p = 0.84; RMSEp = 0.1572; RPD = 2.49), SPA-ELM (R2p = 0.84; RMSEp = 0.1589; RPD = 2.47) and MCUVE-ELM (R2p = 0.83; RMSEp = 0.1599; RPD = 2.45). The proposed method of CARS-ELM had a relatively strong ability for spectral variable selection while retaining excellent prediction accuracy and short computing time (0.39 s). In addition, the variables selected by the four methods (CARS, SPA, MCUVE and GA) indicated the prediction mechanism for pH in lime concretion black soil may be the relation between pH and iron oxides and organic matter. In conclusion, CARS-ELM has great potential to accurately determine the pH in lime concretion black soil using Vis-NIR spectroscopy.

Abstract
A porcine model was used to investigate the feasibility of using VIS-NIR spectroscopy to differentiate between degrees of ischemia-reperfusion injury in the small intestine. Ten pigs were used in this study and four segments were created in the small intestine of each pig: (1) control, (2) full arterial and venous mesenteric occlusion for 8 h, (3) arterial and venous mesenteric occlusion for 2 h followed by reperfusion for 6 h, and (4) arterial and venous mesenteric occlusion for 4 h followed by reperfusion for 4 h. Two models were built using partial least square discriminant analysis. The first model was able to differentiate between the control, ischemic, and reperfused intestinal segments with an average accuracy of 99.2% with 10-fold cross-validation, and the second model was able to discriminate between the viable versus non-viable intestinal segments with an average accuracy of 96.0% using 10-fold cross-validation. Moreover, histopathology was used to investigate the borderline between viable and non-viable intestinal segments. The VIS-NIR spectroscopy method together with a PLS-DA model showed promising results and appears to be well-suited as a potentially real-time intraoperative method for assessing intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, due to its easy-to-use and non-invasive nature.

Abstract
Different cultivars of pear trees are often planted in one orchard to enhance yield for its gametophytic self-incompatibility. Therefore, an accurate and robust modelling method is needed for the non-destructive determination of leaf nitrogen (N) concentration in pear orchards with mixed cultivars. This study proposes a new technique based on in-field visible-near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy and the Adaboost algorithm initiated with machine learning methods. The performance was evaluated by estimating leaf N concentration for a total of 1285 samples from different cultivars, growth regions, and tree ages and compared with traditional techniques, including vegetation indices, partial least squares regression, singular support vector regression (SVR) and neural networks (NN). The results demonstrated that the leaf reflectance responded to the leaf nitrogen concentration were more sensitive to the types of cultivars than to the different growing regions and tree ages. Moreover, the AdaBoost.RT-BP had the best accuracy in both the training (R2 = 0.96, root mean relative error (RMSE) = 1.03 g kg-1) and the test datasets (R2 = 0.91, RMSE = 1.29 g kg-1), and was the most robust in repeated experiments. This study provides a new insight for monitoring the status of pear trees by the in-field VIS-NIR spectroscopy for better N managements in heterogeneous pear orchards.

Abstract
The aims of the study were: (i) to compare leaf reflectance in visible (VIS) (400–700 nm), near-infrared (NIR) (740–1140 nm) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (2000–2400 nm) spectral ranges measured monthly by a contact probe on a single leaf and a stack of five leaves (measurement setup (MS)) of two broadleaved tree species during the vegetative season; and (ii) to test if and how selected vegetation indices differ under these two MS. In VIS, the pigment-related spectral region, the effect of MS on reflectance was negligible. The major influence of MS on reflectance was detected in NIR (up to 25%), the structure-related spectral range; and weaker effect in SWIR, the water-related spectral range. Vegetation indices involving VIS wavelengths were independent of MS while indices combining wavelengths from both VIS and NIR were MS-affected throughout the season. The effect of leaf stacking contributed to weakening the correlation between the leaf chlorophyll content and selected vegetation indices due to a higher leaf mass per area of the leaf sample. The majority of MS-affected indices were better correlated with chlorophyll content in both species in comparison with MS-unaffected indices. Therefore, in terms of monitoring leaf chlorophyll content using the contact probe reflectance measurement, these MS-affected indices should be used with caution, as discussed in the paper. If the vegetation indices are used for assessment of plant physiological status in various times of the vegetative season, then it is essential to take into consideration their possible changes induced by the particular contact probe measurement setup regarding the leaf stacking.
