Construction of an individualized sensory space of tastes in water using skin blood flow responses
Perception of tastes and odors in water is a major interest for water producers and distributors because off-flavors in tap water are associated with health risk by consumers. However, the taste of water is difficult to describe due to the medium itself which is supposed to have no taste. Classical sensory methodologies are difficult to adapt and only get part of the whole perception. This ...

Emotional and behavioural responses to auditory interfaces in commercial vehicles
In this paper, we argue that emotional reactions may guide the design of in–vehicle auditory displays since emotion has strong consequences for behaviour and information processing. A simulator study with 30 participants was conducted in which auditory icons were contrasted to abstract earcon sounds in more or less imminent collision scenarios and 3D sounds were tested against monophonic ...

Efficacy of antioxidant overproduction on fiber growth and maturation in cotton
Electron transport in plant cells inevitably results in the creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can hinder metabolic processes and cause cellular damage. In spite of the gains additional antioxidants may impart to the cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) photosynthetic apparatus, single time point measurements on live plants have not reflected distinguishable phenotypes for key physiological ...

Fenitrothion, an organophosphorus insecticide, impairs locomotory function and alters body temperatures in Sminthopsis macroura (Gould 1845) without reducing metabolic rates during running endurance and thermogenic performance tests
Endemic Australian mammal species are exposed to pesticides used for locust control as they occupy the same habitat as the target insect. We examined the impact of an ultra‐low volume (ULV) formulation of the organophosphorus insecticide, fenitrothion (O,O‐dimethyl‐O‐(3‐methyl‐4‐nitrophenol)‐phosphorothioate), on a suite of physiological measures that affect the ability of animals to survive ...

Integrated coastal effects study: Synthesis of findings
Municipal wastewater discharges constitute a major source of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) to coastal waters, yet is uncertainty exists regarding their linkage to adverse biological effects such as endocrine disruption. Limited information is available concerning the types and fate of CECs discharged to the Southern California Bight (SCB) from municipal wastewater and their potential ...

Predicting cardiotoxicity with engineered 3D human cardiac tissue models
Cardiovascular safety liabilities caused 52.3 % of 44 marketed data from 1980 to 2011, and cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally, yet only 8.7% of cardiovascular drugs successfully pass clinical trials. These statistics demonstrate the need to address a patient’s specific genetic make-up and phenotype by adopting a personalized treatment methodology for ...

Pilot Validation of a New Wireless Patch System as an Ambulatory, Noninvasive Tool That Measures Gut Myoelectrical Signals: Physiologic and Disease Correlations
Abstract Background and aims: Limited means exist to assess gastrointestinal activity in a noninvasive, objective way that is highly predictive of underlying motility disorders. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of recording myoelectric gastrointestinal activity by cutaneous patches and to correlate myoelectric signals with gastrointestinal function in various clinical ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
