Statistical Analysis Of Visible Absorption Spectra And Mass Spectra Obtained From Dyed Textile FibersWhite, Katie Margaret 01 January 2010 (has links)
The National Academy of Sciences recently published a report which calls for improvements to the field of forensic science. Their report criticized many forensic disciplines for failure to establish rigorously-tested methods of comparison, and encouraged more research in these areas to establish limitations and assess error rates. This study applies chemometric and statistical methods to current and developing analytical techniques in fiber analysis. In addition to analysis of commercially available dyed textile fibers, two pairs of dyes are selected based for custom fabric dyeing on the similarities of their absorbance spectra and dye molecular structures. Visible absorption spectra for all fiber samples are collected using microspectrophotometry (MSP) and mass spectra are collected using electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry. Statistical calculations are performed using commercial software packages and software written in-house. Levels of Type I and Type II error are examined for fiber discrimination based on hypothesis testing of visible absorbance spectra using a nonparametric permutation method. This work also explores evaluation of known and questioned fiber populations based on an assessment of p-value distributions from questioned-known fiber comparisons with those of known fiber self-comparisons. Results from the hypothesis testing are compared with principal components analysis (PCA) and discriminant analysis (DA) of visible absorption spectra, as well as PCA and DA of ESI mass spectra. The sensitivity of a statistical approach will also be discussed in terms of how instrumental parameters and sampling methods may influence error rates.

Elaboration d'une méthode théorique pour la détermination et la prédiction des couleurs de colorants carbonylés./ Elaboration of a theoretical procedure for the evaluation and prediction of the carbonyl dyes colour.Preat, Julien 14 March 2008 (has links)
Pour notre travail de thèse, nous avons établi une méthodologie, basée sur la DFT et sa variante dépendante du temps, qui permet l'évaluation efficace et la prédiction rapide des couleurs de différentes familles de colorants carbonylés dans différents environnements. Ainsi, nous sommes capables de fournir des valeurs théoriques très précises pour les énergies de transition des dérivés de l'anthraquinone, de la coumarine et de l'indigo ainsi que du thioindigo. Notre stratégie prend en compte aussi bien les effets de solvatation, dans le cadre d'une modélisation en continuum, que les effets du pH, sur la position de la bande d'absorption maximale du spectre UV/VIS. / The project of the Ph. D. work consists in the elaboration of a theoretical methodology able to evaluate and predict the color of organic dyes (see the List of recent publications for more details). Our methodology takes into account the solvent effects as well as the pH impact on the color of the dyes. The theoretical tools used are the Density Functional Theory (DFT, for ground-state optimization) and the Time Dependent TDDFT for excitation spectra calculations. The solvent effects are taken into account via the PCM (Polarizable continuum Model).

Nature Of Solute-Solvent Interaction : Effect Of Solvent Polarity On Excited State Structure Of 2,2,2-Trifluroacetophenone And Effect Of Hydrogen Bonding In Hydrated Electron Absorption SpectrumChowdhury, Brojokishore 11 1900 (has links)
In solution, the environment around the solute is determined solely by the solvent molecules, which are present closer to the solute. This interaction between solute and solvent shell is very crucial for equilibrium structure and reactivity of the solute. In the thesis, first we have investigated control of solvent polarity on the excited structure of 2,2,2 trifluroacetophenone and later effect of electronic excitation on the solvent shell organization has been described.
It has been reported in literature that the lowest energy triplet configuration of 2,2,2 trifluroacetophenone corresponds to n,π* state. There are some other reports in favor of the probable existence of 2,2,2 trifluroacetophenone in n,π* lowest triplet state. Thus, transient absorption and time resolved resonance Raman spectroscopic methods have been used along with theoretical calculations to investigate the discrepancy in the assignment of the lowest triplet state configuration It has been observed that the lowest triplet state of 2,2,2 trifluroacetophenone is indeed nπ* and there is a solvent polarity induced change in triplet state energy ordering and structure changes.
The absorption spectrum of hydrated electron is broad and structureless. So, it was though that the broadening feature could be attributed to homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening. Transient resonance Raman spectrum of the water bending mode in presence of hydrated electron has been recorded at different excitation wavelengths. Interestingly, it has been observed that, peak position of water bending mode in presence of hydrated electron alters with change of excitation wavelength. A model has been proposed based on the experimental data.
