Making scents: dynamic olfactometry for threshold measurement.
Data on human odor thresholds show disparities huge enough to marginalize olfactory psychophysics and delegitimize importation of its data into other areas. Variation of orders of magnitude from study to study, much of it systematic, threatens meaningful comparisons with animal species, comparison between in vivo with in vitro studies, the search for molecular determinants of potency, and use o...
متن کاملMaking scents of sounds.
Flavor just got some competition. Smell and taste are known to converge to produce the best and worst of culinary experiences, but new research suggests that information received through the nose can also be altered by noise. If confirmed, this newfound union could have potent olfactory and gustatory implications. The discovery of a possible smell-sound sense, or “smound,” came to Daniel Wesson...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis for Threshold Decision Making with Dynamic Networks
The effect of inaccuracies in the parameters of a dynamic Bayesian network can be investigated by subjecting the network to a sensitivity analysis. Having detailed the sensitivity functions involved in our previous work, we now study the effect of parameter inaccuracies on a recommended decision in view of a threshold decisionmaking model. We describe the effect of varying one or more parameter...
متن کاملSwitched-Capacitor Dynamic Threshold PMOS (SC-DTPMOS) Transistor for High Speed Sub-threshold Applications
This work studies the effects of dynamic threshold design techniques on the speed and power of digital circuits. A new dynamic threshold transistor structure has been proposed to improve performances of digital circuits. The proposed switched-capacitor dynamic threshold PMOS (SC-DTPMOS) scheme employs a capacitor along with an NMOS switch in order to effectively reduce the threshold voltage of ...
متن کاملMaking sense of scents: the colour and texture of odours.
The purpose of this study was to document colour and texture associations to odours using a variety of odours including both pleasant and unpleasant odours, some of which were likely to be unfamiliar. We asked non-synaesthetic adults (n = 78) to make colour and shape/texture associations to 22 odours. A subset of the participants (n = 41) smelled the odours a second time in order to identify th...
