New developments in spectroscopic techniques for process control are in general driven by
the shortcomings of existing technology, eg, when sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, etc. do …

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 …

The use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data coupled to chemometric methods has
become increasingly popular in the last decade. However, a serious drawback of these …
