Appearance, aroma, flavor, texture and overall liking were analyzed by 120 carrot cake consumers using a 9-cm hedonic scale. Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) was carried out with 11 assessors among 16 attributes. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, Tukey test (p < 0.05), Internal Preference Map and Cluster analysis. Also texture parameters were analyzed by Partial Least Square (PLS) to be able to show the instrumental parameters influence. Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA) was used before an Ex-ternal Preference Mapping to reduce the scale effects and to obtain a consensus configuration. According to PLS correlation, the attributes hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, chewiness and gumminess interfered on characteristics considered undesirable for texture acceptance and smoothness, elasticity, cohesiveness and water activity interfered as desirable features. It was noted that all cakes were well accepted, except cake sweetened with sucralose and mix done using cornmeal, rice flour, potato starch and corn starch (2:3:3:2). As for the instrumental aspects, cohesiveness and elasticity influenced positively the cake’s acceptance. Instead, smoothness and adhesion parameters weren’t so significant.展开更多

Due to the existence of manufacturing errors,the ABF deviates slightly from nominal base frame( NBF). Using external precision measurement,the ABF can be established only through the three dimension(3D) position of the robot's end-effector.To ensure the orthonormal constraints of rotation matrix as well as the precise solutions,Procrustes Analysis is introduced,where an optimal orthogonal matrix is solved out by the Lagrange Multiplier method and Singular Value Decomposition(SVD). Furthermore,calibration experiment on a serial 6-DOF robot is performed,where a FARO laser tracker is utilized to measure the 3D position. Finally, calibration result indicates that the positioning accuracy has been significantly improved after calibration. The calibration method is also applicable to other similar problems,such as multi-robot coordination and robot hand-eye system calibration.展开更多

For the purpose, Procrustes rotation minimizes the discrepancy between the target and rotated loadings using two types of approximation: 1) approximate the zeros in the target by the non-zeros in the loadings, and 2) approximate the non-zeros in the target by the non-zeros in the loadings. The central issue of Procrustes rotation considered in the article is that it equally treats the two types of approximation, while the former is more important for simplifying the loading matrix. Furthermore, a well-known issue of Simplimax is the computational inefficiency in estimating the sparse target matrix, which yields a considerable number of local minima. The research proposes a new rotation procedure that consists of the following two stages. The first stage estimates sparse target matrix with lesser computational cost by regularization technique. In the second stage, a loading matrix is rotated to the target, emphasizing on the approximation of non-zeros to zeros in the target by least squares criterion with generalized weighing that is newly proposed by the study. The simulation study and real data examples revealed that the proposed method surely simplifies loading matrices.展开更多
