Analysis of odour interactions in model gas mixtures using electronic nose and fuzzy logic
PublicationMeasurement and monitoring of air quality in terms of odour nuisance is an important problem. Although the source of these nuisances is different (e.g. wastewater treatment plants, municipal landfills), their common feature is that they are a complex mixture of odorants with different odour thresholds. An additional problem is occurrence of the odour interactions between mixture components. From a practical point of view, it would...

Application of Multiplicative Drift Correction and Component Correction methods on simulated gas sensor array responses
PublicationSensor response drift is one of the most challenging problems in gas-analyzing systems. Such systems, commonly called electronic noses, are expected to be reliable and reproducible in the long term. Due to the drift phenomena, electronic noses usability is limited to the relatively short period of time, and frequent recalibrations of device are required. Because it is very hard to fabricate sensors without drift, this phenomenon...

Enhanced Mobility and Large Linear Nonsaturating Magnetoresistance in the Magnetically Ordered States of TmNiC2
PublicationWe have studied the magnetic, magnetotransport, and galvanomagnetic properties of TmNiC2. We find that the antiferromagnetic and field induced metamagnetic and ferromagnetic orderings do not suppress the charge density wave. The persistence of Fermi surface pockets, open as a result of imperfect nesting accompanying the Peierls transition, results in an electronic carriers mobility of the order of 4 × 103 cm2 V−1 s−1 in ferromagnetic...
