In this paper a control scheme is proposed for anticipatory and discrete event sensory motor driven. The control system elaborates a sensorymotor program based on its internal data and a high level objective. The global system implements several biological models in each one of its subsystems. One of the novelties of this work is the structure of the sensory-motor algorithms which are based on ...

The introduction presents the main countries producing duck meat and the different species and rearing systems used in production. The review is then divided into two parts. The first part concerns meat quality. The evolution of duck meat post-mortem is described. The effects of high muscle development on technological and sensorial quality are also presented. Finally, the influences of the mai...

The establishment of validated methodologies for the determination of food shelf-life is currently demanded by both food industries and Health Authorities at national and international scale. It is well known that most foods are perishable, since they are subjected to modifications in their structure, composition and properties during storage before consumption. These changes are of physico-che...

Haptic feedback is a crucial sensorial modality in virtual reality interactions. Haptics means both force feedback (simulating object hardness, weight, and inertia) and tactile feedback (simulating surface contact geometry, smoothness, slippage, and temperature). Providing such sensorial data requires desk-top or portable special-purpose hardware called haptic interfaces. Modeling physical inte...

Herpes zoster primarily affects the posterior root ganglions and sensorial nerve fibers, and causes vesicular skin eruptions, radicular pain and loss of sensorial function along the distribution of the affected ganglion. Motor involvement can also be observed. When classical cutaneous lesions are present, the motor paresis consequent to herpes zoster is easily diagnosed. However, diagnosis beco...

Our daily urban experiences are the product of our perceptions and senses [7], yet the complete sensorial range is strikingly absent from urban studies. Sight has been historically privileged over the other senses and urban studies often focused on the visual dimension of cities [4, 3]. However, smell and sound have a huge influence over how we perceive places, they impact our behavior, attitud...

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of free and microencapsulated Ziziphora clinopodioides Essential Oil (ZEO) and Nisin individually and in combinationon sensory characteristic and shelf life of fish burger during 20 days of storage at 4±1˚C. Fish burgers were prepared and treated with free and microencapsulated form of ZEO and Nisin in 15 treatments and evaluated by 20...

Reconstructing 3D data from images acquired by cameras is a difficult task. The problem becomes harder if the goal is to recover the dynamics of the 3D world from the image flow. However, it is known that humans integrate and combine the information from different sensorial systems to perceive the world. For example, the human vision system has close links with the vestibular system to perform ...
