Olfactory modulation of barrel cortex activity during active whisking and passive whisker stimulation

Rodents depend on olfaction and touch to meet many of their fundamental needs. However, the impact of simultaneous olfactory and tactile inputs on sensory representations in the cortex remains elusive. To study these interactions, we recorded large populat ...

Permanganate Reduction by Hydrogen Peroxide: Formation of Reactive Manganese Species and Superoxide and Enhanced Micropollutant Abatement

Urs von Gunten, Ke Xu

Permanganate (MnO4-, Mn(VII)) is widely applied at the initial stage of water treatment to, e.g., abate taste and odor compounds, Mn(II) and Fe(II). However, its selectivity limits its application for micropollutant abatement. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), whi ...

Investigation and modeling of odors release from membrane holes on daily overlay in a landfill and its impact on landfill odor control

Sami Rtimi

In the present work, we studied the NH(3)and H2S odor fluxes between the exposed working area and the HDPE covering film holes of the daily overlay in an actual landfill site with a daily operating area of 1600 m(2)in Hangzhou, China. We showed that the od ...

A Graph-Based Formation Algorithm for Odor Plume Tracing

Alcherio Martinoli, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares

Odor plume tracing is a challenging robotics application, made difficult by the combination of the patchy characteristics of odor distribution and the slow response of the available sensors. This work proposes a graph-based formation control algorithm to c ...

Subject-Independent Odor Pleasantness Classification Using Brain and Peripheral Signals

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Eleni Kroupi

Enhanced sensation of reality from multimedia contents can be achieved by creating realistic multimedia environments, using visual, auditory, and olfactory information. Although the affective information from video and audio has been extensively studied, t ...

Formation-Based Odour Source Localisation Using Distributed Terrestrial and Marine Robotic Systems

Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares

This thesis tackles the problem of robotic odour source localisation, that is, the use of robots to find the source of a chemical release. As the odour travels away from the source, in the form of a plume carried by the wind or current, small scale turbule ...

Bioinspired Selective Surface Deposition of Fragrance Delivery Systems

Kemal Arda Günay

The perception of pleasantness in many of the consumer goods is provided by volatile chemical compounds called fragrances. While the volatility of fragrances is essential to provide a pleasant olfactory response, it presents at the same time a technologi ...
