    Comparison of Different Calibration Techniques of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy in Bakery Products: on Nacl Measurement

    Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid optical spectroscopy technique for elemental determination, which has been used for quantitative analysis in many fields. However, the calibration involving atomic emission intensity and sample concentration, is still a challenge due to physical-chemical matrix effect of samples and fluctuations of experimental parameters. To overcome these problems, various chemometric data analysis techniques have been combined with LIBS technique. In this study, LIBS was used to show its potential as a routine analysis for Na measurements in bakery products. A series of standard bread samples containing various concentrations of NaCl (0.025%-3.5%) was prepared to compare different calibration techniques. Standard calibration curve (SCC), artificial neural network (ANN) and partial least square (PLS) techniques were used as calibration strategies. Among them, PLS was found to be more efficient for predicting the Na concentrations in bakery products with an increase in coefficient of determination value from 0.961 to 0.999 for standard bread samples and from 0.788 to 0.943 for commercial products.

    Performance Evaluation of Self-Mixing Interferometer With the Ceramic Type Piezoelectric Accelerometers
    (de Gruyter Poland Sp Z O O, 2022) Berberoglu, Halil; Tiken, Mehmet; Eseller, Kemal Efe; Orhan, Elif; Candan, Can
    In this article, reconstructed displacement from the self-mixing signal is compared with the displacement obtained by the ceramic shear mode design piezoelectric accelerometer. Piezoelectric accelerometers are widely accepted due to the low output noise and wide frequency range, but nevertheless it is not contact-free. Self-mixing interferometric signals due to the vibrating target on which an accelerometer is attached are acquired by an external silicon type photodetector. The laser light hits directly the accelerometer as a target which is driven by the sum of two different sinusoidal frequencies of 150 and 300 Hz with different voltage levels.
