Detection of adulteration in the petroleum fuels (gasoline and diesel) is challenging because
the adulterants usually include those compounds which are already present in these fuels …

An increase in the greenhouse effect is a significant concern for the degradation of the
environment. Out of many reasons, adulterated automotive fuels are one of the major …

In this paper we focused on the experimental investigations for fabricating a surface
plasmon resonance (SPR) based fiber optic sensor for the detection of the extent of …

This study has shown that the use of distillation curves combined with PCA (Principal
Component Analysis) and PLS-DA (Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis) provides a …

Adulteration of fuels is a major problem, especially in developing and third world countries.
One such case is the adulteration of diesel oil by kerosene. This problem contributes to air …

In this study, it was found that limiting the number of explanatory distillation curves input
variables in a multivariate regression method to the most significant ones (10%, 50%, 90 …

Curiosity in the properties of non-Gaussian beam-based optical devices has seen a recent
resurgence on account of large volume of higher order modes as supported by the platform …

Gasoline adulteration is a frequent problem world-wide, because of the chance of quick,
maximized profits. However, addition of cheaper ethanol or hydrocarbons like kerosene …

Odors are one of the most diverse and complicated gaseous mixtures so that their
discrimination is challenging yet attractive because of the rich information about their origin …

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chemical sensor with gold as the sensitive material has
been designed to detect the adulteration of petrol by kerosene. Samples of petrol …
