About the meeting: The „OLFACTORY BIORESPONSE III meeting” is the third conference in a series of meetings which started in 1995 at the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Erlangen, Germany.
The two previous meetings of this series of conferences have been received extremely well by all participants, largely because a major focus is on the interpersonal exchange between researchers.
The scientific focus of the meeting is on studies using electrophysiological and imaging techniques. Among other topics the 2003 meeting is going to highlight retronasal olfactory perception, olfaction in neurodegeneration, and qualitative olfactory dysfunction.

INTRODUCTION
A property of a chemical compound or of mixtures of compounds depenent on the concentration to activate the sense of smell and then be able to start an odour sensation
Introduction
An individual sensation dependent on sensibility of human olfactory analyser and motivational factors
Odour - definition
Introduction
Each compound:
• volatile in the conditions of the surroundings,
• dissolvable in water,
• dissolvable in fat,
• of eligible amount of molecules in the air (eligible concentration S),
• polar, while contacting protein receptors stimulating olfactory cells,
induces odour sensation of intensity I.
Introduction
I = k W–F · log (S/SPW)
Trials of combining strength of sensation (odour intensity,I) with strength of stimulus (odorant concentration, S),
S – strength of stimulus (odourant concentration in air inducing odour sensation of intensity I), [mg/m3],
SPW – odour sensation threshold, [mg/m3].
I = ks · S n
2. Stevens law
I – strength of sensation (intensity), [ - ],
S – strength of stimulus (odourant concentration in air inducing odour sensation of intensity I), [mg/m3],
kS, n – empirical constants, [ – ].
Introduction
Odour
– definition reffering to both pleasant and unpleasant olfactory sensations
Legal restrictions on odour emissions
Trials of regulating problems with odour quality of the air have been undertaken in different countries for more than 30 years:
1. Japan (since 1972),
2. Canada (Quebec, since 1980),
4. Germany,
5. Poland.
3. Holland (since 1984),
Introduction
The most unambiguous and complex description of the problem was prepared by German legislation:
Restrictions on odour emissions reffer to all industrial works irrespective of whether they are subject to the procedure of sanctioning their activity or not (different ways of executing the restricions in various regions).
The most advanced trials of regulating problems with odour difficulties - North Westphalia:
Guideline ‘Odours immission’ – frequency of occurance exceedings the threshold concentration of olfactory detectability of air pollutants (so called ‘odour hours’).

Introduction
Introduction
a. to determine olfactory difficulty of polluted air, especially in industrial areas where odourants emissions are much higher than in any others (with sensory analysis of samples of polluted air),
b. to verify the determined quantities with the standarised threshold values,
2. Air consists of mixtures of odourants to which quoted psychophisical laws are not applicable on the contrary to isolated compounds...
A fact that:
...provoked the idea of applying GC-NN system to evaluate odour intensity of mixtures of
compounds.
1. It is essential:
Aims of the work
1. Verifying potentiality of artificial neural networks to predict odour intensity of mixtures of compounds,
2. Determining existence of correlation between a feature of odour quality – odour intensity, I and 14 values describing the sample responsible for the odour (14 distinctive points of a chromatographic curve measured [mm] from an invariable basis, h1 - h 14)
3. Determining magnitude of training sets for ANN to achieve the best results (the smallest error measured with SD. RATIO, RMS Error and irrelative error)

six-permeable tap, sample loop of 5 cm3 capacity,tower 2 metres long with cross-section of 4 mm,packing: Chromosorb W NAW, 60 – 80 mesh, coated with 20% Carbowax 20 M, portative gas: nitrogen, pressure at the inlet 1,2 at, Flame Ionisation Detector, hydrogen pressure 0,4 at, air pressure 0,9 at,
detection sensitivity of 30 · 108.
14 defining variables measured [mm] from an invariable basis make a part of a set of data
Defining variables, heights of sequential peaks of a chromatogram [mm]
1. artificial neural networks can properly determine intensity of air polluted with many compounds,
2. to conduct a training a series of 491 patterns of sensory – chromatographic characteristics of 57 samples evaluated by more than ten people are necessary,
3. it is favorable to remove from the series the estimations of those people whose olfactory sensibility differs considerably from the average,
4. it seems possible to use training series carrying less information of a sample composition for network training.
