The traditional methods employed to detect atherosclerotic lesions allow for the identification of lesions; however, they do not provide specific characterization of the lesion's biochemistry. Currently, Raman spectroscopy techniques are widely used as a characterization method for unknown substances, which makes this technique very important for detecting atherosclerotic lesions. The spectral interpretation is based on the analysis of frequency peaks present in the signal; however, spectra obtained from the same substance can show peaks slightly different and these differences make difficult the creation of an automatic method for spectral signal analysis. This paper presents a signal analysis method based on a clustering technique that allows for the classification of spectra as well as the inference of a diagnosis about the arterial wall condition. The objective is to develop a computational tool that is able to create clusters of spectra according to the arterial wall state and, after data collection, to allow for the classification of a specific spectrum into its correct cluster.

Temperature-Induced Chemical Changes in Lubricant Automotive Oils Evaluated Using Raman Spectroscopy

Andressa Cristina de M. Bezerra, Nelize Maria de A. Coelho, Felipe Bertelli, Marcos Tadeu T. Pacheco, Landulfo Silveira

Summary: This study used Raman spectroscopy to evaluate the temperature-induced changes and degradation levels of mineral, semi-synthetic, and synthetic automotive lubricating oils. Results showed that synthetic oil exhibited the least degradation during heating cycles, while mineral oil experienced the most degradation. Principal component analysis and partial least squares regression were able to accurately predict heating times for each oil type with high correlation and low prediction error. The Raman technique proves to be valuable in identifying chemical changes in lubricant oils due to heating, making it a useful tool for preventive maintenance in the automotive industry.
