Dimethachlor is an herbicide used for oilseed rape protection. Previous studies have demonstrated its high mobility in the soil, which could lead to water contamination. This research aimed determine occurrence of dimethachlor and metabolites (dimethachlor ethanesulfonic acid ESA oxalamic OA) surface using a recently developed analytical method. article one first document metabolites’ presence ...

In this study, the existence of biological potential of selected N-(substituted phenyl)-2-chloroacetamides was examined none empirically, as was the possibility of applying simpleexperimental technique in predicting essential properties which affect the biological activityof the compounds. By applying the Lipinski and Ghose’s rules, it has been revealed that theexamined chloroacetamides fulfill...

Simultaneous estimation of three component tablets containing Doxylamine succinate (DOX), Pyridoxine hydrochloride (PYR) and Folic acid (FA) was carried out by UV spectrophotometric assisted chemometric methods. Four chemometric methods i.e. classical least square (CLS), inverse least square (ILS), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) were applied to simultaneous...

Here we report on a novel polymer electrolyte membrane for quasi-solid dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with excellent efficiency and extended durability. The electrolyte is prepared by an elegant, rapid and cheap UV-induced polymerization method and the chemometric approach is used for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, for the optimization and the fine tuning of the experimental ...

Milk-based kombucha beverages were obtained conducting lead fermentation of milk. In order to discriminate the analysed samples and detect similarities or dissimilarities among them in space experimentally determined variables, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) principal component (PCA) applied. Linear discriminant (LDA) was conducted on raw data set find a rule for allocating new sample unkn...

Chemometrics has been used for some 30 years but there is still need for disseminating the potential benefits to a wider audience. In this paper, we claim that proper analytical chemistry (1) must in fact incorporate a chemometric approach and (2) that there are several significant advantages of doing so. In order to explain this, an indirect route will be taken, where the most important benefi...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are non-linear computational tools suitable to a great host of practical application due to their flexibility and adaptability. However, their application to the resolution of chemometric problems is relatively recent (early ‘90s). In this communication, different artificial neural networks architectures are presented and their application to different kinds of...
