It is very important for the understanding of the Be phenomenon, and particularly for locating a possible Be phase in the evolutionary track of B stars, to accurately determine the proportion of Be stars among all B stars. This type of study was already made several times in the past. Results obtained generally show a maximum Be frequency around spectral type B2 then a decrease towards late spectral types. Actually Be stars do not have the same characteristics as “normal” B stars and we have to take this into account in the determination of the ratio : number of Be stars / number of B stars. We use the Bright Star Catalogue (Hoffleit & Jaschek 1982) and the Supplement to the Bright Star Catalogue (Hoffleit, Saladyga & Wlasuk 1983) containing stars V= 7.10 and brighter. This study needed to be made separately for the different spectral types because:- Physical parameters of B stars are very different from B0 to B9;- Emission characteristics of Be stars vary very much, with a decrease from B0e to B9e.We successively consider three effects which can influence the frequency of Be stars:- The over-luminosity of Be stars as compared with B stars;- Spectral type changes during constant mass evolution;- Spectral type changes due to the fast rotation of Be stars.

Ultra-violet, visible and near infrared (UV-VIS-NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was investigated for fast determination of soluble solids content (SSC) of tea beverage. In this study, a total of 120 tea samples with SSC range of 4.0-9.5 ºBrix were tested. Samples were randomly divided for calibration (n=90) and independent validation (n=30). Spectra were collected by a mobile fiber-type UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer in transmission mode with recorded wavelength range of 203.64-1128.05 nm. Various calibration approaches, i.e., principal components analysis (PCA), partial least squares (PLS) regression, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and back propagation artificial neural network (BPANN), were investigated. The combinations of PCA-BPANN, PCA-LSSVM, PLS-BPANN and PLS-LSSVM were also investigated to build calibration models. Validation results indicated that all these investigated models achieved high prediction accuracy. Especially, PLS-LSSVM achieved best performance with mean coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.99, root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.12 and residual prediction deviation (RPD) of 15.16. This experiment suggests that it is feasible to measure SSC of tea beverage using UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy coupled with appropriate multivariate calibration, which may allow using the proposed method for off-line and on-line quality supervision in the production of soft drink.

Solids Content

A simple and rapid method has been developed to measure the bitumen, water, and solids content of Athabasca oil sand samples in order to efficiently serve both plant operations and research needs. A solvent blend of 74% toluene and 26% isopropyl alcohol extracts both the bitumen and the water from the solids producing a homogeneous liquid phase. The bitumen is determined gravimetrically on an aliquot of this solution. A Karl Fischer titration is used to measure the water concentration. Solids are measured gravimetrically or can be reported by difference. Mass balances between 99.05 and 100.25% are achieved routinely.

Aim of study: Developing models to determine soluble solids content (SSC) in cherry trees by means of Vis/NIR spectroscopy.Area of study: The Spanish Autonomous Community of Aragón (Spain).Material and methods: Vis/NIR spectroscopy was applied to Prunus avium fruit ‘Chelan’ (n=360) to predict total SSC using a range 400-2420 nm. Linear (PLS) and nonlinear (LSSVM) regression methods were applied to establish prediction models.Main results: The two regression methods applied obtained similar results (Rcv2=0.97 and Rcv2=0.98 respectively). The range 700-1060 nm attained better results to predict SSC in different seasons. Forty variables selected according to the variable selection method achieved Rcv2 value, 0.97 similar than full range.Research highlights: The development of this methodology is of great interest to the fruit sector in the area, facilitating the harvest for future seasons. Further work is needed on the development of the NIRS methodology and on new calibration equations for other varieties of cherry and other species.
