CHemometric ANalysis CEnter
The CHemometric ANalysis CEnter (CHANCE) is very pleased to announce its new series of seminars for 2012.
The seminars are prepared always having in mind the researchers, MsC and PhD students who want to learn how to extract more information from their data sets and to improve their experimental designs by using advanced data analysis techniques.
The seminars are intensive one- or two- day classes where the students will learn the basic knowledge of the theoretical aspects of different data analysis tools and will practice with real cases (the students are also welcome to bring their own data sets to work with).
The subscription is for FREE for all the seminars, and they are open to all interested people (MsC, PhD, Post-doc, technicians, Professors, industrial partners, etc).
We are happy to announce that the subscription for the seminar 'Design of Experiments' is already open (The announcement is attached as well)
Feel free to distribute this information to people whom you believe could be interested.
Interested people, please contact José Manuel Amigo (jmar@life.ku.dk) for further information.
TAKE THE CHANCE - DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR EXPERIMENTS!

YOUTUBE LESSONS IN CHEMOMETRICS - PLS-REGRESSION AND SPECTRAL PRE-PROCESSING VIDEOS AVAILABLE NOW
The Quality and Technology group has (re-)launched a YouTube channel. The channel is called “QualityAndTechnology” and the aim of is to provide chemometrics information and courses. Please go and have a look! For now, there is an introductory course available on PCA and more movies and courses will follow.

On-line detection of undesired metabolites in slaughter carcasses
New Advanced Technology Foundation project at Q&T. A collaboration between Carometec A/S (Klavs Martin Sørensen) and Q&T (Søren Balling Engelsen) is going to develop an on-line method for reliable detection of boar taint in slaughter carcasses which in the long run will eliminate the need for castration of male piglets.

A SECOND CHANCE
Søren Balling Engelsen is leader of the metabonomics work package in a new FP7 European Project: Low cost technologies and traditional ingredients for the production of affordable, nutritionally correct foods improving health in population groups at risk of poverty.
The project will i) define an innovative strategy based on a socio-economic study of the composition of the most significant EU populations at-risk-of-poverty and ii) verify the relative existing nutritional deficiency via a holistic approach ensured by metabonomics investigations correlating the non-healthy diet to real metabolism alterations.

PLS 2012
The 7th International Conference on Partial Least Squares and Related Methods (PLS 2012) will be held in Houston, Texas on May 19th-22nd, 2012. This will be the first time it is hosted in the United States. The conference theme "Advancing the Theoretical and Applied Frontier" is concerned with both theory and exemplars in practice for areas as diverse as Business, Engineering and the Life Sciences.
