The clinical effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are now subject numerous studies worldwide. But what quarantine imposed by states that implemented measures lockdown? present research aims to explore, in a preliminary way, major stress-related symptoms during lockdown, due Covid-19, Italian population. Subjects were asked fill out survey, traced line identifying most relevant psychophysiological t...

Background: Malga cheeses are made in artisanal and seasonal dairies located in the Alps. This study was carried out to determine microbial diversity and sensorial properties of Malga cheese from Trentino (Italy) after long-term ageing period. The effects of adding the Fermalga Bacterial Pools (FBP) on microbiota biodiversity of cheese were also evaluated. Methods: Populations of Lactic Acid B...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To observe the motor and sensorial block characteristics with different dosage of levobupivacaine during spinal block for the patients undergoing day-case knee arthroscopy. MATERIAL AND METHOD Eighty, 80 ASA physical status I-II patients, undergoing day-case knee arthroscopy received 0.5% levobupivacaine; 7.5 mg in Group I, 10 mg in Group II, 12.5 mg in Group III and...

The negative impact that animal protein sources have on the environment is a critical world problem. Finding new acceptable alternatives crucial. Nevertheless, numerous factors influence decision to try an unknown food. By adopting consumer behavior perspective as well approaching possibility of overcoming neophobia, this research examined sensory perception with regard experimentation foods, f...

Current microbial methodologies to determine fish quality are laborious and have long time required to obtain results. The impediometric technique as a rapid sensitive method was used to determine the correlation between impedance detection times (IDTs) and conventional reference psychrophilic and mesophilic plate counts of fish in order to develop models for predicting the microbial quality an...

The present study was carried out to enhance shelf life of pasteurized cream using Echinophora platyloba essential oil (EEO) and lycopene. For this purpose, two concentrations of EEO (0.10% and 0.50%) and lycopene (20 and 50 ppm) alone and together as combinations were added in pasteurized creams and analyzed for microbial characteristics, sensorial properties and lipid stability durin...

Traditionally, TV media content has exclusively involved 2D or 3D audiovisual streams consumed by using a simple device. However, in order to generate more immersive consumption experiences, other new types of (e.g., omnidirectional video), devices Head Mounted Displays HMD) and solutions stimulate senses beyond the traditional ones sight hearing, can be used. Multi-sensorial (a.k.a. mulsemedia...

This article focuses on the mystical connotations of olfactory images in V. Nabokov’s prose from his French period (1937–1940). The authors analyse connection between mystical, philosophical, and aesthetic conceptions. They demonstrate that experience is not conveyed by writer directly but through narration structure forms code literature philosophy (as N. Gogol, P. Ouspensky, A. Bergson, etc.)...

Obstacle avoidance is a sensor-based task designed to steer a mobile robot towards intermediate goals while avoiding unexpected local obstacles in the robot’s surroundings. Responsiveness requires that the task is computed in short time intervals, fast enough to deal with the robot inertia and dynamics limitations. Simultaneously it has to guarantee detection by gathering enough information to ...
