The fraction of woody and herbaceous fuels associated with each class was determined using information from the Fuels Characterization Classification System (FCCS; [43, 44]).

In this study, we develop, and validate through an exhaustive accuracy assessment, a digital 2D image analysis method adapted to large soil thin sections, leading to the quantification, characterization and classification of pores and illuvial clay features considered diagnostic of bioturbation and illuviation, respectively.
The authors acknowledge the challenge faced in characterization and classification of biosolids and also take solace from the fact that this is not unique to Zambia but that it is a global challenge.
The combination of parallel factor analysis 2 (PandFAC2) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) for detailed characterization and classification of the pyrolysis data enabled the classification of the poplars with a success rate above 99% using the PARAFAC2 scores.
And, as forests change in response to climate and land use, characterization and classification of their species assemblages can aid in understanding reference conditions, monitoring changes in species composition over time, and detecting early warning signs of vulnerability to those global changes (Tierney et al. 2009).
Modern genomic analysis tool like DNA microarrays and gene expression profiling now provide a platform for the systematic characterization and classification of both cell lines and tumor samples.
Lastly, also in this case it was demonstrated how, also in the present research, the coupling of thermal analysis and chemometrics represents a useful, simple and advantageous approach for dealing with problems of characterization and classification of different kinds of archaeological finds and cultural heritage.
This contrasts to linear techniques like Raman and infrared spectroscopy, which were already successfully correlated with histological characterization and classification of cancer types in human brain and lymph tissue [ 11– 13].
