Number of Credits 2 Course Type Lecture
Target Year Target Student
Language Japanese and English Day/Period Tue.3
Instructor name OGAWA YUUICHI (Graduate School of Agriculture Associate Professor)
Outline and Purpose of the Course Lectures on measurement principles and methods for physicality of agricultural products and biological materials are performed. This course presents advanced topics in nondestructive measurement and analysis of component using electromagnetic wave, electric properties and biosensor.
Course Goals 1. Students can explain measurement principle and method of spectrometer and biosensor.
2. Students can understand how to construct measurement systems to understand physical property of biomaterials.
3. Students can discuss on what kinds of sensing systems are necessary in a given condition or object.
Schedule and Contents 1 to 2 weeks of classes are planned for each of the topics covered in this course, including the following:

First time: Wave theory (how to represent waves; units) and guidance of this class
2, 3rd: Light theory and applications (reflection, diffraction and scattering of biomaterials)
4th and 5th: Electrical characteristics (electromagnetism, conductivity, permittivity)
6, 7th: Spectroscopic system (principle and component technologies)
8, 9th: Discussion of reports (short presentation)
10th: Multispectral imaging
11th: Data analysis (preprocessing and multivariate analysis)
12, 13th: Time domain spectroscopy (characteristics, component technologies, examples of applications)
14th: Biosensors
15th: Feedback
Evaluation Methods and Policy Tests in class(50%) and report(50%) are evaluated.
Refer to current year's 'Guide to Degree Programs' for attainment levels of evaluation.
Course Requirements It is desirable to take undergraduate courses "Measument Science", "Phisical and Biological Properties of Agricultural Products", "Bio-Sensing Engineering," and graduate course "Seminar I on Bio-Sensing Engineering."
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Assignments and homeworks should be submitted by the next class. Read fundamental spectroscopy and optics books.
