Study of Phenological Changes in Black Locust using Descriptive Methods and Quantitative Analysis

    Studying the phenological stages and determining their occurrence in different biological conditions is useful instrumental in restoring and selecting the bases in forestry. Therefore, descriptive method and quantitative analysis were used to study the phenology of Black Locust (Robinia pesudoacacia L.). In descriptive method, the phenomenological observations were recorded during the speci...

Quantitative descriptive analysis and principal component analysis for sensory characterization of ultrapasteurized milk.

Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to describe the key attributes of nine ultrapasteurized (UP) milk products of various fat levels, including two lactose-reduced products, from two dairy plants. Principal components analysis identified four significant principal components that accounted for 87.6% of the variance in the sensory attribute data. Principal component scores indicated that ...

Chemometric models for the quantitative descriptive sensory analysis of Arabica coffee beverages using near infrared spectroscopy.

Mathematical models based on chemometric analyses of the coffee beverage sensory data and NIR spectra of 51 Arabica roasted coffee samples were generated aiming to predict the scores of acidity, bitterness, flavour, cleanliness, body and overall quality of coffee beverage. Partial least squares (PLS) were used to construct the models. The ordered predictor selection (OPS) algorithm was applied ...

Descriptive scales versus comparative scales

In this paper, I show that scales (or hierarchies) have been appealed to in various functions: They have been used to formulate descriptive generalizations (on a single language), and to formulate cross-linguistic generalizations. They have also been used for binary relations, and for implicational relations among more than two items on the scale. This yields four uses of scales (descriptive re...
