    Abstract
    A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of protocatechuic acid and protocatechuic aldehyde. The method is based on the difference in the kinetic rates of the reactions of analytes with [Ag(NH3)2]+ in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone to produce silver nanoparticles. The data obtained were processed by chemometric methods using principal component analysis artificial neural network and partial least squares. Excellent linearity was obtained in the concentration ranges of 1.23-58.56 ?g mL-1 and 0.08-30.39 ?g mL-1 for PAC and PAH, respectively. The limits of detection for PAC and PAH were 0.039 and 0.025 ?g mL-1, respectively

    Elsevier Ltd  2020
    Abstract
    By combining portable, handheld near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with state-of-the-art classification algorithms, we developed a powerful method to test chicken meat authenticity. The research presented shows that it is both possible to discriminate fresh from thawed meat, based on NIR spectra, as well as to correctly classify chicken fillets according to the growth conditions of the chickens with good accuracy. In all cases, the random subspace discriminant ensemble (RSDE) method significantly outperformed other common classification methods such as partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) with classification... 

    Pattern recognition analysis of gas chromatographic and infrared spectroscopic fingerprints of crude oil for source identification

    , Article Microchemical Journal ; Volume 153 , 2020 Hashemi Nasab, F. S ; Parastar, H ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Inc  2020
    Abstract
    In this study, a chemometric strategy was developed for analysis of gas chromatographic (GC) and infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) fingerprints of nine crude oil samples from the main oil wells of Iran to classify them and to find their origins. In this regard, a fractionation method based on saturated, aromatic, resin, and asphaltene (SARA) test was used. Then, these fractions were analyzed by GC-FID and GC–MS. Also, nine crude oil samples were analyzed by FT-IR. The obtained GC fingerprints were aligned using correlation optimized warping (COW) and auto-scaled, and then analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Evaluation of PCA scores plot...

    Abstract
    The main aim of this study is developing a robust QSAR model for describing and predicting the inhibitory activities of O-(2-phthalimidoethyl)-N-substituted thiocarbamates derivatives as novel HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 NNRTIs) inhibitors. These drugs change the active site of the reverse transcriptase enzyme, and finally halter the HIV reproduction cycle. As the first step of this study, a multiple linear regression (MLR) model was built but it has no satisfied prediction ability. As a next step, the nonlinear correlation of the molecular descriptors and activities has been investigated by using artificial neural networks (ANN). In this section the effects of variable... 

    N-way partial least squares with variable importance in projection combined to GC × GC-TOFMS as a reliable tool for toxicity identification of fresh and weathered crude oils

    , Article Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry ; Volume 407, Issue 1 , 2014 , pp 285-295 ; ISSN: 16182650 Mostafapour, S ; Parastar, H ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In this study, N-way partial least squares (NPLS) is proposed to correlate comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) data of different aromatic oil fractions (fresh and weathered) to their toxicity values. Before NPLS modeling, since drift and wander of baseline interfere with information of sought analytes in GC × GC-TOFMS data, a novel method called two-dimensional asymmetric least squares is thus developed for comprehensive correction of the baseline contributions in both chromatographic dimensions. The algorithm is termed comprehensive because it functions to correct the entire chromatogram in both dimensions and it preserves the...

    Abstract
    Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been used in a wide-ranging of applications such as transparent UV protection, light emitting diodes, sensors and photovoltaic cells. Many applications of ZnO nanoparticles could be improved by changing the particle size, shape and morphology. Therefore, studying the mechanism of shape evolution is crucial for size and shape controlled synthesis of nanocrystaline ZnO particles. As an alternative to sophisticated techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), commonly used for studying nanoparticles evolution, we herein employed UV/Vis spectroscopy for monitoring the evolution process of the ZnO nanocrystals...

    Abstract
    Iranian olive leaf essential oil components were extracted by microwave-assisted hydrodistillation and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Ninety-seven components were identified by direct similarity searches for olive leaf essential oil.

Eigenvalues-based methods and Malinowski functions were used for chemical rank determination of GC-MS data. Multivariate curve resolution-alternative least squares as an iterative method was used for resolving the overlapped and embedded peaks. With the use of this method the number of 97 components was extended to 127 components. Major...

    Abstract
    Diffuse reflectance near-infrared (NIR) data (908–1676 nm) of chicken breast fillets was recorded in a non-destructive way using a portable miniaturised NIR spectrometer. The NIR data was used to discriminate between fresh and thawed breast fillets and to determine the birds’ growth conditions. NIR data was recorded of 153 commercial supermarket chicken fillet samples by applying the NIR device equipped with the standard issue collar on the samples in three different ways: (i) directly on the meat (ii) through the top foil of the package (i.e. with an air pocket between the foil and the breast fillet), and (iii) through the top foil with the packaging turned bottom up (i.e. no air pocket...

    2001
    Abstract
    Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were successfully developed for the modeling and prediction of electrophoretic mobility of a series of sulfonamides in capillary zone electrophoresis. The cross-validation method was used to evaluate the prediction ability of the generated networks. The mobility of sulfonamides as positively charged species at low pH and negatively charged species at high pH was investigated. The results obtained using neural networks were compared with the experimental values as well as with those obtained using the multiple linear regression (MLR) technique. Comparison of the results shows the superiority of the neural network models over the regression models. © 2001...

    American Chemical Society  2020
    Abstract
    Multisensor arrays employing various sensing principles are a rapidly developing field of research as they allow simple and inexpensive quantification of various parameters in complex samples. Quantitative analysis with such systems is based on multivariate regression techniques, and deriving of traditional analytical figures of merit (e.g., sensitivity, selectivity, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation) for such systems is not obvious and straightforward. Nevertheless, it is absolutely needed for further development of the multisensor research field and for introducing these instruments into the general context of analytical chemistry. Here, we report on the protocol for...
