[Reconstruction of July NDVI over 172 years based on tree-ring width of Larix chinensis in Taibai Mountain Nature Reserve, China.].

We used the correlation analysis of Larix chinensis tree-ring width chronologies, meteorological data as well as regional NDVI data to reconstruct the NDVI sequence variation of the north and south aspects of Taibai Mountain Nature Reserve in the recent 172 years. The results showed that the NDVI variation of Taibai Mountain Nature Reserve was consistent with plant growth dyna-mics. Hydrothermal condition in growing season was the dominant factor controlling NDVI changes.

[Study on the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of three components including deoxyschizandrin by ridge regression method].

Ridge Regression (RR) spectrophotometry was used in the present paper to analyse three components: deoxyschizandin, schisandrin, and gamma-schisandrin. The basic principle and the analytical steps of the approach are described in detail. The computer program of RR is based on VB language.

[Research into simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of components in cough syrup by principal component regression method].

Principal component regression (PCR) method is used to analyse five components: acetaminophen, p-aminophenol, caffeine, chlorphenamine maleate and guaifenesin. The basic principle and the analytical step of the approach are described in detail. The computer program of LHG is based on VB language.
