Direct and simultaneous spectrofluorometric determination of naproxen and salicylate in human serum assisted by chemometric analysis

A direct method for the simultaneous determination of naproxen and salicylate in human serum is reported, based on a combination of spectrofluorometric measurements with two multivariate calibration techniques: partial least-squares (PLS-1) and the novel net analyte preprocessing (NAP). The method is rapid, selective and sensitive, and is based on the measurement of the fluorescence spectra of NH₃ alkalinized whole human sera at the excitation wavelength of 315 nm. It can be applied within the ranges of concentrations 50-200 ng ml⁻¹ for naproxen and 100-300 ng ml⁻¹ for salicylate. The employed chemometric techniques have been compared on the basis of the statistical indicators for calibration and validation. Reproducibility and interference studies in abnormal sera have also been carried out.     

Chemometric quality control of chromatographic purity

It is common practice in chromatographic purity analysis of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes to assess the quality of peak integration combined by visual investigation of the chromatogram. This traditional method of visual chromatographic comparison is simple, but is very subjective, laborious and seldom very quantitative. For high-purity drugs it would be particularly difficult to detect the occurrence of an unknown impurity co-eluting with the target compound, which is present in excess compared to any impurity. We hypothesize that this can be achieved through Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC) based on principal component analysis (PCA) modeling. In order to obtain the lowest detection limit, different chromatographic data preprocessing methods such as time alignment, baseline correction and scaling are applied. Historical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chromatograms from a biopharmaceutical in-process analysis are used to build a normal operation condition (NOC) PCA model. Chromatograms added simulated 0.1% impurities with varied resolutions are exposed to the NOC model and monitored with MSPC charts. This study demonstrates that MSPC based on PCA applied on chromatographic purity analysis is a powerful tool for monitoring subtle changes in the chromatographic pattern, providing clear diagnostics of subtly deviating chromatograms. The procedure described in this study can be implemented and operated as the HPLC analysis runs according to the process analytical technology (PAT) concept aiming for real-time release.

icoshift: An effective tool for the alignment of chromatographic data

The Interval Correlation Optimised Shifting algorithm (icoshift) has recently been introduced for the alignment of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The method is based on an insertion/deletion model to shift intervals of spectra/chromatograms and relies on an efficient Fast Fourier Transform based computation core that allows the alignment of large data sets in a few seconds on a standard personal computer. The potential of this programme for the alignment of chromatographic data is outlined with focus on the model used for the correction function. The efficacy of the algorithm is demonstrated on a chromatographic data set with 45 chromatograms of 64,000 data points. Computation time is significantly reduced compared to the Correlation Optimised Warping (COW) algorithm, which is widely used for the alignment of chromatographic signals. Moreover, icoshift proved to perform better than COW in terms of quality of the alignment (viz. of simplicity and peak factor), but without the need for computationally expensive optimisations of the warping meta-parameters required by COW. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used to show how a significant reduction on data complexity was achieved, improving the ability to highlight chemical differences amongst the samples.     

Fungal upgrading of wheat straw for straw-thermoplastics production

Combining biologic pretreatment with storage is an innovative approach for improving feedstock characteristics and cost, but the magnitude of responses of such systems to upsets is unknown. Unsterile wheat straw stems were upgraded for 12 wk with Pleurotus ostreatus at constant temperature to estimate the variation in final compositions with variations in initial moisture and inoculum. Degradation rates and conversions increased with both moisture and inoculum. A regression analysis indicated that system performance was quite stable with respect to inoculum and moisture content after 6 wk of treatment. Scale-up by 150× indicated that system stability and final straw composition are sensitive to inoculum source, history, and inoculation method. Comparative testing of straw-thermoplastic composites produced from upgraded stems is under way.

Preprocessed barley,rye, and triticale as a feedstock for an integrated fuel ethanol-feedlot plant

Rye, triticale, and barley were evaluated as starch feedstock to replace wheat for ethanol production. Preprocessing of grain by abrasion on a Satake mill reduced fiber and increased starch concentrations in feedstock for fermentations. Higher concentrations of starch in flours from preprocessed cereal grains would increase plant throughput by 8–23% since more starch is processed in the same weight of feedstock. Increased concentrations of starch for fermentation resulted in higher concentrations of ethanol in beer. Energy requirements to produce one L of ethanol from preprocessed grains were reduced, the natural gas by 3.5–11.4%, whereas power consumption was reduced by 5.2–15.6%.     

基于LSTM的浮选钼精矿品位软测量模型

战略性稀有金属钼矿品位低,组分复杂、嵌布粒度细等特点,其有价金属分离回收难。浮选作为微细粒钼矿分离回收的主要选矿方法之一,其浮选钼精矿品位一直是选厂的关键性产品指标。国内大多数选厂采取轮班制采样,人工化验得到精矿品位结果,但此方式严重滞后于浮选工艺,难以满足对生产过程进行实时监测和操作指导。LSTM是一种特殊的循环神经网络,引入门机制有效的传递或选择性遗忘长时间序列中的信息,解决RNN中的长期依赖、梯度消失和爆炸问题。本文分析整理东坡选厂中各平台源数据,结合选厂浮选工艺及机理,筛选出多个影响浮选钼精矿品位的变量作为模型输入;将输入变量进行异常值判定,缺失值填充和数据降噪等数据预处理,建立高质量浮选钼精矿品位数据库;软测量模型采用PyCharm软件编码,使用BatchNorm批量规范化处理样本数据,加入Dropout正则化防止过拟合,建立基于LSTM的浮选钼精矿品位软测量模型,通过前向传播算法更新神经网络结构参数,并于Linear模型和CNN模型的预测性能指标结果比较。结果表明：基于LSTM的浮选钼精矿品位软测量模型预测准确度高,样本数据误差波动平稳,浮动范围小,模型泛化能力强,模型平均绝对百分比误差MAPE为1.13%,均方根误差RMSE为0.7049%,决定系数R2为0.8763,实现了浮选钼精矿品位的在线预测。     

Visualized attribute analysis approach for characterization and quantification of rice taste flavor using electronic tongue

This paper deals with a novel visualized attributive analysis approach for characterization and quantification of rice taste flavor attributes (softness, stickiness, sweetness and aroma) employing a multifrequency large-amplitude pulse voltammetric electronic tongue. Data preprocessing methods including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) were provided. An attribute characterization graph was represented for visualization of the interactive response in which each attribute responded by specific electrodes and frequencies. The model was trained using signal data from electronic tongue and attribute scores from artificial evaluation. The correlation coefficients for all attributes were over 0.9, resulting in good predictive ability of attributive analysis model preprocessed by FFT. This approach extracted more effective information about linear relationship between electronic tongue and taste flavor attribute. Results indicated that this approach can accurately quantify taste flavor attributes, and can be an efficient tool for data processing in a voltammetric electronic tongue system.     

木材种类的近红外光谱和模式识别

木材的种类识别是木材加工和贸易的一个重要环节,传统的木材种类识别方法主要有显微检测法和木材纹理识别法,其操作繁琐,耗时长,成本高,不能满足当前需求。本研究利用木材的近红外光谱(NIRS)结合模式识别方法,以期实现木材种类的快速准确识别。采用近红外光谱结合主成分分析法(PCA)、偏最小二乘判别分析法(PLSDA)和簇类独立软模式法(SIMCA)三种模式识别对58种木材进行种类鉴别研究;5点平滑、标准正态变量变换(SNV)、多元散射校正(MSC)、Savitzky-Golay一阶导数(SG 1st-Der)和小波导数(WD)五种光谱预处理方法用于木材光谱的预处理;校正集和测试集样品的正确识别率(CRR)用于模型的评价。采用PCA方法,通过样品的前三个主成分空间分布图分辨木材种类的聚类情况。在建立PLSDA模型,原始光谱的正确识别率最高,分别为88.2%和88.2%;5点平滑处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为88.1%和88.2%;SNV处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为84.4%和84.5%;MSC处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为83.1%和84.2%;SG 1st-Der处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为81.8%和82.7%;WD(小波基为“Haar”,分解尺度为80)处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为87.3%和87.2%。可知,在PLSDA模型中,木材光谱未经预处理种类识别效果最后好。在建立SIMCA模型过程中,原始光谱的校正集和测试集的CRR分别为99.7%和99.4%;5点平滑处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为100%和100%;SNV处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为99.5%和99.1%;MSC处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为99.0%和98.4%;SG 1st-Der的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为81.8%和82.7%;WD处理的光谱校正集和测试集的CRR分别为100%和100%。可知,在SIMCA模型中,木材光谱经平滑和小波导数处理后的识别效果最好,且光谱的校正集和测试集CRR都为100%。采用三种模式结合五种不同的预处理方法对木材近红外光谱进行定性建模识别时,由于木材样本属性复杂,主成分分布图相互交织,PCA无法识别出58种木材;原始光谱的PLSDA模型可以得到较好的判别模型,但校正集和测试集的CRR只有88.2%和88.2%;木材光谱经过5点平滑或WD预处理后的SIMCA模型可达到最好的识别效果,校正集和测试集的CRR均为100%,且WD-SIMCA模型因子数比5点平滑SIMCA模型小,模型更为简化,故WD-SIMCA为58种木材种类识别的最优模型。研究表明光谱预处理方法可以有效的提高木材种类识别精度,有监督模式识别方法SIMCA可以用来建立有效的木材识别模型,近红外光谱结合模式识别可以为木材种类的识别提供一种快速简便的分析方法。
