Abstract
This study aims to characterize a complete volatile organic compound profile of pork neck fat for boar taint prediction. The objectives are to identify specific compounds related to boar taint and to develop a classification model. In addition to the well-known androstenone, skatole and indole, 10 other features were found to be discriminant according to untargeted volatolomic analyses were conducted on 129 samples using HS-SPME-GC×GC-TOFMS. To select the odor-positive samples among the 129 analyzed, the selection was made by combining human nose evaluations with the skatole and androstenone concentrations determined using UHPLC-MS/MS. A comparison of the data of the two populations was performed and a statistical model analysis was built on 70 samples out of the total of 129 samples fully positive or fully negative through these two orthogonal methods for tainted prediction. Then, the model was applied to the 59 remaining samples. Finally, 7 samples were classified as tainted.

Abstract
There has been an influx of technology for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography analyses in recent years, calling for development of guided workflows and rigorous reporting of processes. This research focuses on the processing method for data collected on a dual channel detection system using flame ionization detection (FID) and quadrupole mass spectrometry (qMS) for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The samples analyzed were kava (Piper methysticum), which has a rich VOC profile that benefits substantially from a multidimensional approach due to enhanced peak capacity. The procedure which was customized here was the data processing workflow from a manual single-sample analysis to an integrated batch workflow that can be applied across studies.•Parameter choice for baseline correction and peak detection were defined when handling batch data.•Elution regions were defined using qMS data to automate compound identification.•Stencils were transformed onto FID data and sequenced for quantitative information.This dataset can be used as a training tool, as all details, methods and results for the workflow have been provided for users to compare with. The focus on data workflow reproducibility in the field of multidimensional chromatography will assist in adoption by users in new application areas.

Abstract
After its introduction in the early 1990s, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) has evolved from a separation science research tool to the central component of many industries. Despite the maturity of the technique, some fields remain reluctant to its use in routine applications. In the case of forensic science, some constraints are the strict requirements enforced in forensic laboratories and the time and effort that must be invested for intralaboratory method validation. Concerns may also arise about whether information could be lost when transitioning to a new technique. This study reports on a method translation from conventional one-dimensional (1D) GC to GC×GC, ensuring the integrity of data as conversion is made. The GC was retrofitted with a reverse fill/flush (RFF) flow modulator and equipped with dual-channel detection using a quadrupole mass spectrometer (qMS) and a flame ionization detector (FID). The parallel use of two detectors, where qMS was applied for qualitative identification and FID for quantification, allowed higher flows and slightly wider peaks to be exploited for the analysis of a volatile organic compound (VOC) reference mixture relevant to forensic VOC profiling. Peak quality assessment and calibration curves using GC-qMS and GC×GC-qMS/FID document the transfer and adaptation of the original method without a loss in data quality. Furthermore, the preprocessing and the data analysis processing steps, including calibration and peak quality assessment for each of the three data sets, are explained in detail. This information provides benchmark data for routine laboratories that want to implement a GC×GC approach into routine workflows.

Abstract
It has been suggested that due to its vasoconstrictive action, nicotine may have a deleterious effect on the periodontium. This study examined the effects of topical and systemic nicotine administration on gingival blood flow. Eighteen young adult dogs were divided into three groups receiving the following treatments for 28 days; topical nicotine in orabase, systemic nicotine via osmotic mini-pumps, and topical orabase or systemic saline via osmotic mini-pumps. Blood flow to the gingiva was measured (at days 0 and 28) by the radiolabeled microsphere method. Blood flow was consistently increased from day 0 to day 28 in the nicotine-treated animals. Comparison of days 0 and 28 blood-flow values demonstrated a statistically significant change (p less than 0.05) in the anterior regions of the topical-nicotine group as compared with the control group. The increased flow may be a reflection of the mode of nicotine delivery and timing of the blood-flow determination procedures.

Abstract
A total of 969 proximal contacts in forty volunteer subjects was examined for proximal contact integrity with shim stock. It passed uninhibited through 88% of the contacts. Neither sex nor age affected the evaluation; however, shim stock was more likely to pass through contacts with enamel surfaces than those which were restored.
