Floral scent plays an important ecological role attracting pollinators. Its composition has been elucidated for a vast diversity of species and is dominated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, phenylpropanoids benzenoid compounds. Considering that floral also character the ornamental plant market, this study was aimed at characterizing comparing molecu...

This paper presents a review of methods for collecting and analysing data on complex activities. Starting with methods developed for design, we examine the possibility to transpose them to other complex activities, especially activities referring to sensorial expertise.

The purpose of the present work was to develop an innovative food product with good textural and sensorial characteristics. The product, a new type of bread, was prepared with wheat (90%) and lupin (10%) flours, without the addition of any conservatives. Several experiences were also done to find the most appropriate proportion of lupin flour. The optimized product was characterized considering...

www.meso.hr Introduction The traditional Croatian dry sausages are, in almost all cases, fermented sausages that undergo more or less prolonged process of smoking and drying–ripening before consumption. The most represented Croatian dry fermented sausage except for Slavonian Kulen is Slavonian homemade Sausage. Slavonian homemade Sausage is a traditional meat product from Eastern Croatia, Slavo...

Autonomous manipulation in semi-structured environments where human operators can interact is an increasingly common task in robotic applications. This paper describes an intelligent multi-sensorial approach that solves this issue by providing a multi-robotic platform with a high degree of autonomy and the capability to perform complex tasks. The proposed sensorial system is composed of a hybri...

We propose to define a volume around cognitive radio equipments, typically terminals, called the ”Sensorial Radio Bubble” or SRB, the diameter of which is at the scale of the sensing possibility of the equipment. The SRB gives communication equipments the ability to explore the radio environment in order to provide knowledge about the spatial and spectral environment, and some context awareness...

This study investigated the effects of NaCl replacers (KCl, CaSO4, and MgSO4) on the quality and sensorial properties of pork patty. In the characteristics of spray-dried salt particles, KCl showed the largest particle size with low viscosity in solution. Meanwhile CaSO4 treatment resulted in the smallest particle size and the highest viscosity (p<0.05). In comparison of the qualities of pork p...

Distilled spirits are usually made from fermented sugar-based materials, such as wines or fermented fruits, but other products can be used, namely berries or honey. In this work, an evaluation of honey spirits is done based on its physicochemical and sensory characteristics. Fourteen honey spirit samples of different brands of honey spirit were purchased at the market and from artisan Portugues...

The definition of " Intelligent Space " (IS) was formerly proposed for an environmental system capable of offering humans informative and physical support. Currently an IS denotes a space containing human and artificial systems, the space itself being considered an intelligent system. Human and artificial systems become clients of the IS and simultaneously the artificial systems become agents o...

O objetivo do texto é analisar as contribuições da Teoria Integração Sensorial na modulação sensorial de escolares com transtorno espectro autismo (TEA). Na abordagem Anna Jean Ayres (1920 – 1988), a integração um processo neurológico que ocorre no sistema nervoso central, porém, quando criança apresenta dificuldade em processar alguma sensação, pode emitir ações inadequadas aos estímulos. Nest...
