  4. 3. "Source characterization of soils contaminated with Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs) by use of Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA)"

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tim Sinioja; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are organic compounds that include several sub-groups of toxic, persistent and carcinogenic environmental pollutants consisting of two or more non-substituted or substituted aromatic rings.

  6. 5. Classification of spectral signatures in biological aerosols

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Henrik Andersson; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis multivariate methods were used to evaluate pretreatment methods, such as normalization, as well as classification possibilities of data collected with Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The LIBS system that FOI is currently developing for the purpose of classifying biological airborne threats was used to collect data from ten different samples in a laboratory environment. READ MORE
