Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important trace gas contributing to global warming and depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. Its increasing abundance caused mainly by anthropogenic sources, such as application fertilizers agriculture or emissions from industry. To understand N2O budget, its sources sinks need be well-described quantified. In this project, a new method for source appointment was dev...

Bioreceptors can provide the basis for specific and sensitive biosensors. There are many sources of bioreceptors in nature for biochemicals of interest in biotechnology and biomedicine. These bioreceptors (antibodies, enzymes, membrane proteins, binding proteins) can be modified and produced in large quantities using modern biotechnological techniques. The characteristics of the biosensor can a...

An approach coupling signal processing and partial least-squares regression analysis (PLS) is described in which raw spectral data are processed with a multiple band-pass Ž lter and the Ž ltered spectra are used in a PLS to build a calibration model for the analyte of interest. The multiple band-pass Ž lter is speciŽ cally designed for a desired analyte based on the Fourier frequency characteri...
