Modeling Alcohol Concentration in Blood via a Fractional Context

Blood alcohol concentration and psychomotor effects.

This study assessed the effect of intravenous alcohol infusions on psychomotor impairment and compared it with that of alcohol administered orally. Comparisons were made between three European drink-driving limits of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) (20, 50 and 80 mg 100 ml-1) and an oral dose of alcohol 0.75 mg kg-1. Twelve volunteers, aged 22-34 yr, were recruited. At targets of 20, 50 and a...

Medicolegal Alcohol Determination - Blood- or Breath-Alcohol Concentration?

Measuring the concentration of alcohol in body fluids represents a large part of the workload at forensic science and toxicology laboratories. In traffic-law enforcement, breath-alcohol testing is used worldwide for roadside screening and for evidential purposes. Many jurisdictions have adopted per se laws which make it a crime to drive with a blood- or breath-alcohol concentration above a pres...

Self-estimation of blood alcohol concentration: a review.

This article reviews the history of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) estimation training, which trains drinkers to discriminate distinct BAC levels and thus avoid excessive alcohol consumption. BAC estimation training typically combines education concerning alcohol metabolism with attention to subjective internal cues associated with specific concentrations. Estimation training was originally ...

A SWNT-Based Sensor for Detecting Human Blood Alcohol Concentration

Alcohol intake may impair human abilities, degrade human performance, and result in serious diseases. Alcohol sensors are needed to manage the risk and effect of alcohol use to human health and performance. This paper was focused on the theoretical models and design of carbon nanotube based alcohol sensors. The experiments verified that single-walled carbon nanotubes can be used to detect alcoh...
