A singular value decomposition (SVD) procedure was used for preliminary indication of the number of fluorescent species present in the samples. The trilinear decomposition (TLD) method was applied to resolve component spectra, resulting in three porphyrinic spectral profiles for both canines and felines.", pages = "1317-1325", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/sas/sas/1995/00000049/00000009/art00016", doi = "doi:10.1366/0003702953965173", keyword = "Trilinear decomposition, Curve resolution, Total luminescence spectra, Animal dental calculus, Porphyrins" }
