The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of seasoning time on aromatic profiles and to describe the sensorial profile of “Toscano” dry-cured ham. At this aim ten hams, cured according to the rule of “Toscano” PDO label, were sampled at the begin of seasoning and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. The samples of muscular tissue were submitted to volatile compounds analysis by SPME-GC/MS. At the...

Delta roboti Mechanical systems that allow a rigid body (called endeffector) to move with respect to a fixed base play a very important role in numerous applications. A rigid body in space can move in various ways, in translation or rotary motion. These are called its degrees of freedom (DOF). The position and the orientation of the end-effector (called its pose) can be described by its general...

This paper considers the problem of multi-robot patrolling along an open polyline, for example a fence, in the presence of an adversary trying to penetrate through the fence. In this case, the robots’ task is to maximize the probability of detecting penetrations. Previous work concerning multi-robot patrol in adversarial environments considered closed polygons. That situation is simpler to eval...

The differences on proximate composition, sensorial analysis (for raw and cooked samples) and flesh productivity of the samples of Parapenaus longirostris that were caught in the North Aegean Sea and Marmara Sea were investigated. Moisture, protein, lipid, ash, carbohydrate, energy content of the North Aegean Sea shrimp were found 74.92 ± 0.1, 20.32 ± 0.16, 2.55 ± 0.1, 2.13 ± 0.08, 0.08%, 110.1...

BACKGROUND It was aimed to compare the efficacy and adverse effects of levobupivacaine alone and in combination with fentanyl and sufentanil during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial, 60 patients undergoing elective TURP under spinal anesthesia were randomized into three groups. Ten ...

Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is an important clinic problem. It is assessed that prevalence of chronic pain extends to 30% but it is contended that there are various risk factors. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of chronic pain after hysterectomy, risk factors of chronicity, neuropathic features of pain, and sensorial alterations at surgery area.Between years 2012 and 2015, 16 to 65 age...

The objectives of the present study were to determine the effects of the brewing method on the amount of the major catechins, methylxanthines, total polyphenols and antioxidant capacity in green and black teas, and to correlate the chemical composition of tea infusions to their sensorial properties by the combined use of the electronic nose and tongue. For this purpose, tea infusions were prepa...

Abstract Nouns in human languages mostly profile concrete and abstract entities. But how much eventive information can be found nouns? Will such sensory nouns have anything to do with the cognitive representation of basic senses? Importantly, is there any ontological and/or motivation that account for this noun–verb dichotomy via body-and-world interactions? This study presents first comprehens...
