Abstract

Classification and identification of amino acids in aqueous solutions is important in the study of biomacromolecules. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) uses high energy laser-pulses for ablation of chemical compounds whose radiated spectra are captured and recorded to reveal molecular structure. Spectral peaks and noise from LIBS are impacted by experimental protocols. Current methods for LIBS spectral analysis achieves promising results using PCA, a linear method. It is well-known that the underlying physical processes behind LIBS are highly nonlinear. Our work set out to understand the impact of LIBS spectra on suitable neighborhood size over which to consider pattern phenomena, if nonlinear methods capture pattern phenomena with increased efficacy, and how they improve classification and identification of compounds. We analyzed four amino acids, polysaccharide, and a control group, water. We developed an information theoretic method for measurement of LIBS energy spectra, implemented manifold methods for nonlinear dimensionality reduction, and found while clustering results were not statistically significantly different, nonlinear methods lead to increased classification accuracy. Moreover, our approach uncovered the contribution of micro-wells (experimental protocol) in LIBS spectra. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first application of Manifold methods to LIBS amino-acid analysis in the research literature., Comment: In ISCA 24th International Conference on Software Engineering and Data Engineering (SEDE 2015)

Abstract

Using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), we have measured the elemental concentrations of Na, Fe, Cu, P, Mg, Zn, K in plasma samples of 25 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and 34 healthy individuals. Given the multidimensional nature of the ICP-MS data, we used support vector machines and logistic regression to illustrate the elemental distribution of each donor and seek key features that may differentiate plasma samples of AD patients from those of healthy individuals. We found that ratios of the elemental concentrations of Na over K, Fe over Na, and P over Zn yield specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of 79%, 84% and 81% respectively. This information was then used to seek from the mass spectrometric data a differentiation of the plasma samples from AD and healthy donors. Plotted as a function of the Na/K, Fe/Na, and P/Zn, the ICP-MS data reveals a linear delineation between the two groups of samples yielding to the correct classification 21 of 25 AD and 28 of 34 HC plasma samples. These findings highlight the importance of elemental ratios present in plasma and suggest that the ratios of the elemental concentrations of blood metals may be considered as biomarkers that can distinguish plasma samples of AD patients from healthy subjects.

Abstract

Planetary exploration relies considerably on mineral characterization to advance our understanding of the solar system, the planets and their evolution. Thus, we must understand past and present processes that can alter materials exposed on the surface, affecting space mission data. Here, we analyze the first dataset monitoring the evolution of a known mineral target in situ on the Martian surface, brought there as a SuperCam calibration target onboard the Perseverance rover. We used Raman spectroscopy to monitor the crystalline state of a synthetic apatite sample over the first 950 Martian days (sols) of the Mars2020 mission. We note significant variations in the Raman spectra acquired on this target, specifically a decrease in the relative contribution of the Raman signal to the total signal. These observations are consistent with the results of a UV-irradiation test performed in the laboratory under conditions mimicking ambient Martian conditions. We conclude that the observed evolution reflects an alteration of the material, specifically the creation of electronic defects, due to its exposure to the Martian environment and, in particular, UV irradiation. This ongoing process of alteration of the Martian surface needs to be taken into account for mineralogical space mission data analysis.

Abstract

Before Perseverance, Jezero crater's floor was variably hypothesized to have a lacustrine, lava, volcanic airfall, or aeolian origin. SuperCam observations in the first 286 Mars days on Mars revealed a volcanic and intrusive terrain with compositional and density stratification. The dominant lithology along the traverse is basaltic, with plagioclase enrichment in stratigraphically higher locations. Stratigraphically lower, layered rocks are richer in normative pyroxene. The lowest observed unit has the highest inferred density and is olivine-rich with coarse (1.5 millimeters) euhedral, relatively unweathered grains, suggesting a cumulate origin. This is the first martian cumulate and shows similarities to martian meteorites, which also express olivine disequilibrium. Alteration materials including carbonates, sulfates, perchlorates, hydrated silicates, and iron oxides are pervasive but low in abundance, suggesting relatively brief lacustrine conditions. Orbital observations link the Jezero floor lithology to the broader Nili-Syrtis region, suggesting that density-driven compositional stratification is a regional characteristic.

Abstract

On the NASA 2020 rover mission to Jezero crater, the remote determination of the texture, mineralogy and chemistry of rocks is essential to quickly and thoroughly characterize an area and to optimize the selection of samples for return to Earth. As part of the Perseverance payload, SuperCam is a suite of five techniques that provide critical and complementary observations via Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), Time-Resolved Raman and Luminescence (TRR/L), visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (VISIR), high-resolution color imaging (RMI), and acoustic recording (MIC). SuperCam operates at remote distances, primarily 2-7 m, while providing data at sub-mm to mm scales. We report on SuperCam's science objectives in the context of the Mars 2020 mission goals and ways the different techniques can address these questions. The instrument is made up of three separate subsystems: the Mast Unit is designed and built in France; the Body Unit is provided by the United States; the calibration target holder is contributed by Spain, and the targets themselves by the entire science team. This publication focuses on the design, development, and tests of the Mast Unit; companion papers describe the other units. The goal of this work is to provide an understanding of the technical choices made, the constraints that were imposed, and ultimately the validated performance of the flight model as it leaves Earth, and it will serve as the foundation for Mars operations and future processing of the data.

Abstract

The SuperCam instrument suite provides theMars 2020 rover, Perseverance, with a number of versatile remote-sensing techniques that can be used at long distance as well as within the robotic-arm workspace. These include laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), remote time-resolved Raman and luminescence spectroscopies, and visible and infrared (VISIR; separately referred to as VIS and IR) reflectance spectroscopy. A remote micro-imager (RMI) provides high-resolution color context imaging, and a microphone can be used as a stand-alone tool for environmental studies or to determine physical properties of rocks and soils from shock waves of laser-produced plasmas. SuperCam is built in three parts: The mast unit (MU), consisting of the laser, telescope, RMI, IR spectrometer, and associated electronics, is described in a companion paper. The on-board calibration targets are described in another companion paper. Here we describe SuperCam's body unit (BU) and testing of the integrated instrument. The BU, mounted inside the rover body, receives light from the MU via a 5.8 m optical fiber. The light is split into three wavelength bands by a demultiplexer, and is routed via fiber bundles to three optical spectrometers, two of which (UV and violet; 245-340 and 385-465 nm) are crossed Czerny-Turner reflection spectrometers, nearly identical to their counterparts on ChemCam. The third is a high-efficiency transmission spectrometer containing an optical intensifier capable of gating exposures to 100 ns or longer, with variable delay times relative to the laser pulse. This spectrometer covers 535-853 nm (105-7070 cm-1 Raman shift relative to the 532 nm green laser beam) with 12 cm-1 full-width at half-maximum peak resolution in the Raman fingerprint region. The BU electronics boards interface with the rover and control the instrument, returning data to the rover. Thermal systems maintain a warm temperature during cruise to Mars to avoid contamination on the optics, and cool the

Abstract

We describe an optomechanical technique using a knife-edge, which is scanned spatially across a beam of light to identify shape-based irradiance. Symmetry groups are identified through linear and rotational scanning signatures of illuminated shapes. The scanning signature is used to classify the shape into a symmetry group. To demonstrate the shape analysis technique, we have classified basic geometric shapes, which belong to the orthogonal and dihedral symmetry groups [O.sub.2], [D.sub.2], [D.sub.3], and [D.sub.6].

Abstract

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is commonly used to identify elemental compositions of various samples. To facilitate this task, we propose the use of an elemental spectral library for singlepulsed, nanosecond LIBS in the spectral range 198-968nm. This spectroscopic library is generated by measuring optical emissions from plasmas of 40 pure elements. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed database, we measure and analyze the LIBS spectra of pure iron and of ethanol and show that we identify these samples with a high degree of certainty. OCIS codes: 300.6365, 300.6210, 160.2120, 350.5400, 070.4790.

Abstract

We present, for the first time to our knowledge, an optomechanical integration method for finite functions. This technique allows for the integration of any finite function by combining optical and mechanical principals. The integrated function can then be determined using curve fitting methods. Furthermore, the original function can be reproduced through numerical or analytical integration. OCIS codes: 120.4820, 200.4560, 200.4740, 220.4480.
