To illustrate the PLSR method, we shall examine data from a laboratory experiment performed by participants in a course in quantitative chemometrics. The course was held by the authors at 0stfold College of Engineering, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Norway, Autumn 1987. The purpose of the experiment was to determine ethanol in mixtures with two similar compounds (methanol and n-propanol) by fiberoptic NIR spectrophotometry. Mixtures of the three different alcohols were prepared, where the concentrations were varied between 0 and 100% of each of the three alcohols. Two different mixture sets were made. One of them will be used as a calibration set and the other as a test set, in other words, mixtures where the concentration of the analyte are unknown. ...

A catalyst is, as is well known by chemical engineers, a substance that affects the rate of a reaction but emerges from the process unchanged. The major application of catalysis are in petroleum refining and in chemical production, and this is thus a very important field of research in an oil and gas producing country like Norway. The development and use of catalysts has been a major part of the constant search for new ways of increasing product...

Despite the union with Sweden the cultural ties to Denmark remained strong. In the golden age in Norway from about 1850 to 1914 science blossomed at the university in the capital Christiania and an increasing number of chemical engineers were educated at technical schools in Norway and in Germany. Chemistry slowly became an established profession and not only a part of the education of pharmacists, physicians and teachers at the university. 

The main reason for the slow start was simply that there were few chemists, and hardly any chemical industry in Norway in the nineteenth century. From about 1870 the number of chemists increased and chemical engineers were educated from local polytechnic schools and from technical schools in Germany. Some of the university-trained science teachers concentrated on chemistry, particularly those few who attained a job at the university.
