Provided is a method for multi-information fusion of gas sensitivity and chromatography and on-site detection and analysis of flavor substances using an electronic nose instrument. The electronic nose instrument includes a gas sensor array module (I), a capillary gas chromatographic column module (II), an automatic headspace sampling module (III), a computer control and data analysis module (IV), an automatic lifter (V) for headspace sampling, a large-volume headspace vapor generation device (VI) and two auxiliary gas sources (VII-1, VII-2). The electronic nose instrument detects a large number of odorous samples to establish a big odor data. On this basis, the normalization fusion preprocessing is done, and the cascade machine learning model realizes both an on-site recognition of many foods, condiments, fragrances and flavors, and petroleum waxes and a real-time quantitative prediction of their odor quality grades and many key component concentrations.

A door 4 includes a closing portion 41 that closes an opening 302 in a closed state, and a holding portion 42 that holds the closing portion 41 and is connected to a hinge portion 5. The closing portion 41 is connected to the holding portion 42 on the side opposite to the hinge portion 5 side, and is configured to be separable from the holding portion 42 on the hinge portion 5 side. In a case where the door 4 is rotated from an open state to a closed state, the closing portion 41 is configured to be in contact with a peripheral edge portion of the opening 302 on the side opposite to the hinge portion 5 side before the closing portion 41 comes into contact with a peripheral edge portion of the opening 302 on the hinge portion 5 side.

Compositions and methods for determining the origin location of a subterranean sample are provided. Compositions include a nanoparticle tag including a superparamagnetic iron oxide core, an intermediate layer including a fluorescent dye, and a polymer shell. The nanoparticles can be synthesized by functionalizing a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle core and covalently bonding a fluorescent dye to the functionalized nanoparticle core. In some implementations, a polymer is covalently bonded to the functionalized, fluorescent superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle core. The nanoparticle tag can be used to determine the origin location of a subterranean sample by mixing the nanoparticle tag into a fluid, flowing the fluid into a subterranean formation, recovering subterranean samples from the subterranean formation, and separating tagged samples from untagged samples using a magnet. The origin location of the subterranean sample can be determined by analyzing the fluorescent signal of the nanoparticle tag.
