Abstract Free sterols were evaluated as factors for discriminating between genuine virgin olive oil and hazelnut-mixed virgin olive oil. Numeric analyses of the results amplified the differences between groups. The application of this method to virgin olive oil samples and their mixtures with 10% hazelnut oil distinguished between genuine and nongenuine virgin olive oil with statistical certainty. Triacylglycerol analysis was tested for the same purpose by using parameter ΔECN42, but although it possessed a discriminating capacity, it alone could not distinguish the aforementioned groups with sufficient certainty. Free Δ7-sterols data were combined with ΔECN42 data into a single discriminating function to improve differentiation and bring more ruggedness, and for detection of low amounts (10%) of hazelnut oil in virgin olive oil. In fact, the values obtained by addition of Δ7-sterol data and ΔECN42 data showed a higher discriminating capacity than single parameters. In a single operation the method produced all the oil fractions necessary for analysis of free sterols and triacylglycerols with ECN42. Solid-phase extraction was applied in substitution of traditional chromatography on a silica column.

Different degrees of artificial L5-SI spondylolisthesis were created using a lumbar specimen. Lateral radiographs were obtained of each, with the specimen tilted and/or rotated. The true spondylolisthesis was determined stereophotogrammetrically. The slip, measured on the radiographs, was calculated according to two methods modified from Boxall et coll. (2). No significant difference in accuracy was found between these two methods. The difference in calculated slip between examinations needs to be at least 20 per cent of the sagittal length of L5 to be regarded as a true progression. A true progress of slip of less than 20 per cent is difficult to detect with statistical certainty.

The system H+/MoO42- was investigated by Raman spectroscopy in the range Z = 0 to 1.14 at initial concentrations CMoO₄ 2- = 0.02 to 2M and concentrations of the ionic medium CMe+ = 2CMoO₄ 2- to 3M Me(Cl,NO3) (Me=Li, Na, K,NH4 , Mg/2). The mole-ratio method and intensity difference diagrams do not indicate any species between MoO42- and Mo7O246- contrary to propositions in recent papers. A detailed evaluation of the extensive data shows the possible portion of such species to be < 3 % , this value having a statistical certainty of 95%. Comparing the solutions having Z = 1.1 by fingerprint procedures, in all cases Mo7O246- is the first main product (detectable by static methods) irrespective of the nature and concentration of the ionic medium. Thus, Mg2+ ions do not influence the course of aggregation of molybdate ions as has been proposed in the literature. This is in accordance with theoretical investigations since the Mo7O246- ion has the distinction of a number of favourable structural parameters in the system that become operative in case of scarcity of H+ ions.
