By molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the enhanced heating process of salty ice and water by the electric field of applied microwaves at 2.5 GHz, and those in the range 2.5-10 GHz for the frequency dependence. We show that water molecules in salty ice are allowed to rotate in response to the microwave electric field to the extent comparable to those in pure water, because the molec...

BACKGROUND Sodium intake is related to hypertension and other diseases, but little is known about the early development of salty taste acceptance. OBJECTIVE The prospective study asked whether dietary experience with foods containing sodium is associated with development of infant salty taste preference. DESIGN Infants (n = 61) were tested at 2 and 6 mo to assess their response to 0.17 and ...

population’s exponential growth along with drought has increased water resources limitation, especially in arid and semi-arid area. therefore, the use of non-conventional water is an important tool for water resource management. if unconventional water has no negative impact on soil properties and water, it can be used for irrigation coupled with desertification projects. so, this paper tries t...

The addition of certain solutes to a water Cerenkov detector will introduce new charge-current channels for the detection of νes. The experimental conditions necessary to exploit such signals large volumes and very low backgrounds should be reached for the first time in SuperKamiokande and SNO. I compare some of the more attractive possibilities (7Li, 11B, 35Cl) in terms of counting rate, relia...

Taste is a major determinant of children's food preferences, but its development is incompletely known. Thus, exploring infants' acceptance of basic tastes is necessary. The first objective was to evaluate the acceptance of tastes and their developmental changes over the first year. The second objective was to compare acceptance across tastes. The third objective was to evaluate global taste re...

Although putatively taste has been associated with obesity as one of the factors governing food intake, previous studies have failed to find a consistent link between taste perception and Body Mass Index (BMI). A comprehensive comparison of both thresholds and hedonics for four basic taste modalities (sweet, salty, sour, and bitter) has only been carried out with a very small sample size in adu...
