The potential of FT-IR spectra was examined to classify tea samples based on the geographical origins. Principal component analysis (PCA), principal analysis-linear discriminant (PCA-LDA) and partial least square-discriminant (PLS-DA) were investigated in order achieve discrimination samples. Several spectral pre-processing methods, such as mean centering (MC), auto-scaling, multiplicative scat...

The geographical variation in Helicobacter pylori genotypes is an observed phenomenon. Cytotoxin associated genes A (cagA) and E (cagE), and vacuolating cytotoxin (vacA) genotypes of H. pylori are associated with peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
