As for quality evaluation of paper records, it is very important to measure acidity and moisture in paper. In the case important paper records, it should be measured directly in field. But ISO standard analytical method would be limited to measure directly in field for quality evaluation of paper records until now. Therefore it could be to use mobile small NIR spectrometer for being analyzed by direct and non-invasive method in field. The wavelength range of small spectrometer has from 900 to 1700 nm, and the surface of paper could be measured by diffused reflected optical fiber probe. Thus, the acidity and moisture could be analyzed on the paper record with from 1970 to 2003. As the result, it could be confirmed to have each more than 0.9 as the correlation of acidity and moisture. Thus, it will be possible to develope the evaluation system of paper record with mobile small NIR spectrometer and optical fiber by the result.

The variation of chemical structure and physical properties of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) during thermal aging process was investigated. The formation of carbonyl functional group resulting from thermal oxidation reaction of XLPE was monitored using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. It was observed that the intensity of carbonyl peak observed at 1715 nm linearly increased with aging time in NIR spectroscopy. The linear relationship between NIR peak absorbance and aging time confirmed that NIR spectroscopy might be used as a proper tool for monitoring the aging process of polymeric materials. Also the formation of crosslinks during the aging process was monitored using thermal mechanical analysis, stress-strain test, and Shore hardness test. The change in the physical properties, such as the increase in the glass transition temperature from 110 to 132$^{\circ}C$, the decrease in the strain from 265 to 110%, as well as the increase in the shore D hardness from 32 to 50, was observed during the aging process.

To capture color and near-infrared images simultaneously, a multi-spectral filter array(MSFA) sensor is used. This is because an NIR band gives additional invisible information to human eyes to see subject under extremely low light level. However, because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths, lenses may fail to focus widely different rays to the same convergence point. This is why a chromatic aberration(CA) problem occurs and images are degraded. In this paper, the image restoration algorithm for an MSFA image, which removes the CA problem, is presented. The obtained MSFA image is filtered by the estimated low-pass kernel to generate a base image. This base image is used to remove CA problem in multi-spectral(MS) images. By modeling the image degradation process and by using the least squares approach of the difference between the high-frequencies of the base and MS images, the desired high-resolution MS images are reconstructed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs well in estimating the high-quality MS images and reducing the chromatic aberration problem.

The feasibility of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the evaluation of the compost pro-duced by composting swine excreta has been investigated. The analytes determined were total nitrogen, total phosphorus, organic matter,total carbon,moisture, Cu, $K_2O$ and $Na_2O$. The ranges of concentration of the cal-ibration samples obtained by the conventional chemical method for each component were 1.30-2.75%, 1.45-4.86%, 7.36-81.5%, 23.0-41.1%, 4.2 the coefficient of variation was 4.38, 5.5, 3.2, 1.5, 10.9, 10.6 and 11.9% for total nitrogen, total phosphorus, organic matter, total carbon, moisture, Cu, $K_2O$ and $Na_2O$,respectively. The overall results showed that NlRS can be used for a non-destructive and rapid determination of the analytes to evaluate the quality of compost samples.

In this paper, two wavelengths mainly used for laser prostatectomy have been quantitatively compared: 532 and 980 nm. Two lasers at 40 W were employed to ablate bovine liver in vitro. Ablation performance was evaluated in light of number of sweeps, ablation volume, and coagulative necrosis. 532 nm yielded up to four times higher ablation efficiency than 980 nm. Regardless of wavelength, ablation rate per sweep decreased with the number of sweeps. 532 nm generated relatively deeper ablation craters along with thinner coagulation whereas 980 nm created superficial tissue ablation with up to 2 mm thick coagulative necrosis. Due to higher light absorption and effective thermal confinement, 532 nm induced more efficient tissue ablation with a smaller coagulative necrotic zone. The current study demonstrated that 532 nm could be a more ideal wavelength for laser prostatectomy, and the future in vivo investigations will confirm these findings.

This study is to improve the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and the self-monitoring of blood glucose in people with diabetes by providing a non-invasive method of monitoring blood glucose. A near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometer was used to measure absorption spectra of 80 glucose samples ranges from 1 mg/dL to 200 mg/dL, and shows the standard error of prediction 1.8 mg/dL. Also, to investigate the effect of interference in blood, NaCl and sand were added in glucose and found the standard error of prediction of 2.8 mg/dL and 3.8 mg/dL, respectively. A new and more accurate calibration system for the spectrophotometer was developed from systematic study of light scattering, which cause nonlinear spectrophotometer response.
