This paper attempted the feasibility to determine content total polyphenols content in green tea with near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled with an appropriate multivariate calibration method. Partial least squares (PLS), interval PLS (iPLS) and synergy interval PLS (siPLS) algorithms were performed comparatively to calibrate regression model. The number of PLS components and the number of i...

In this Letter, a dumbbell-shaped patch loaded slotline(PLS) is proposed. Like the conventional defected ground structure(DGS) for a microstrip line, we show that the proposed PLS can provide a wide bandstop characteristic in some frequency bands with only one or small number of unit cells. Also, the equivalent circuit model for a unit section is derived from the analysis of the field distribut...

Data from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were subjected to a partial least-squares regression analysis (PLS) to build a calibration model for predicting the polymorphic content of carbamazepine (CBZ). The effectiveness of the PLS method in the construction of calibration models was analyzed by a scientific approach based on a regulation vector. CBZ forms I and III were characterized by differen...

Pronunciation dictionary is one of the important components for the speech technology development for a particular language. This is because it represents the interface between speech analysis on the acoustic level and speech interpretation. The W3C Voice Browser Activity has published a Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) Version 1.0 [1] for generation of PLS in different languages. This...

Of the many palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) conditions, only Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) and Haim-Munk syndrome (HMS) are associated with premature periodontal destruction. Although both PLS and HMS share the cardinal features of PPK and severe periodontitis, a number of additional findings are reported in HMS including arachnodactyly, acro-osteolysis, atrophic changes of the nails, and a ra...

pressive and anti-inflammatory actions. Most glucocorticoids are administrated repeatedly because of their short half-life and are used for not only continuous treatment but also pulse treatment. However, even at moderate doses, the systemic administration of glucocorticoids causes many side-effects, such as diabetes, hypertension, Cushing syndrome, and osteoporosis. Therefore, it is effective ...

Of the many palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) conditions, only Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) and Haim-Munk syndrome (HMS) are associated with premature periodontal destruction. Although both PLS and HMS share the cardinal features of PPK and severe periodontitis, a number of additional findings are reported in HMS including arachnodactyly, acroosteolysis, atrophic changes of the nails, and a rad...

Partial least squares (PLS) regression on an L2-continuous stochastic process is an extension of the 2nite set case of predictor variables. The PLS components existence as eigenvectors of some operator and convergence properties of the PLS approximation are proved. The results of an application to stock-exchange data will be compared with those obtained by other methods. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. ...

Partial least squares (PLS) approach is proposed for linear discriminant analysis (LDA) when predictors are data of functional type (curves). Based on the equivalence between LDA and the multiple linear regression (binary response) and LDA and the canonical correlation analysis (more than two groups), the PLS regression on functional data is used to estimate the discriminant coefficient functio...

We prove that the local search optimization problem TSP 2Opt |though not known to be PLS-complete|shares an important infeasibility property with other PLS-complete sets.
