This study employed Fourier Transform near-infrared spectrometry to assess the quality of vecuronium bromide, a neuromuscular blocking agent. Spectral data from two lots of vecuronium were collected and analyzed using the BEST metric, principal component analysis (PCA) and other statistical techniques. The results showed that there was variability between the two lots and within each lot. Several outliers in the spectral data suggested potential differences in the chemical composition or sample condition of the vials. The outliers were identified and their spectral features were examined. A total of eight unique outliers were found in the PC space from PCs 1 to 9, so 22% of the total vials were outliers. The study findings suggest that the manufacturing process of vecuronium bromide may have been operating outside of a state of process control. Further investigation is needed to determine the source of these variations and their impact on the safety and efficacy of the drug product.

Phenomic selection based on parental spectra can be used to predict GCA and SCA in a sparse factorial design. Prediction approaches such as genomic selection can be game changers in hybrid breeding. They allow predicting the genetic values of hybrids without the need for their physical production.

Controlling the light emitted by individual molecules is instrumental to a number of advanced nanotechnologies ranging from super-resolution bioimaging and molecular sensing to quantum nanophotonics. Molecular emission can be tailored by modifying the local photonic environment, for example, by precisely placing a single molecule inside a plasmonic nanocavity with the help of DNA origami. Here, using this scalable approach, we show that commercial fluorophores may experience giant Purcell factors and Lamb shifts, reaching values on par with those recently reported in scanning tip experiments.

The feasibility of the two methodologies was confirmed to compare the results of determining mung bean origins using Raman and Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Spectra from mung beans collected in Baicheng City, Jilin Province; Dorbod Mongol Autonomous, Tailai County, Heilongjiang Province; and Sishui County, Shandong Province, China, were analyzed. We established a traceability model using Principal Component Analysis combined with the K-nearest neighbor method to compare the efficacy of these methods in discriminating the origins of the mung beans.

Despite its importance, the determination of the degree of cure of melamine-based laminates often relies on tests with limited accuracy and validity. Undercured surfaces may suffer insufficient resistance to scratching and heat as well as substandard surface quality. Overcured melamine surfaces tend to crack and entail the inefficient utilization of the press-the panels could have been pressed for a shorter time.
