Odor Perceptual Shift Keying (OPSK) for Odor-Based Molecular Communication [PDF]
Molecular communication (MC) has promising potential and a wide range of applications. However, odor-based communication which is common in nature, has not been sufficiently examined within the context of MC, yet. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for implementing odor-based MC systems.

Advantage of the Highly Restricted Odorant Receptor Expression Pattern in Chemosensory Neurons of Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2013 A fundamental molecular feature of olfactory systems is that individual neurons express only one receptor from a large odorant receptor gene family. While numerous theories have been proposed, the functional significance and evolutionary advantage of ...

Intranasal pH and Olfactory Function Among Healthy Adults
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In this cross‐sectional study of 62 adults, olfactory cleft (OC) pH was lower than that over the respiratory mucosa (RM), with repeated testing resulting in more alkaline pH and olfactory testing having no effect. OC pH, but not RM pH, was negatively correlated with odor identification scores and predicted 18% of the variance in these scores.

Olfactory receptor accessory proteins play crucial roles in receptor function and gene choice [PDF]
, 2017 Each of the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) chooses to express a single G protein-coupled olfactory receptor (OR) from a pool of hundreds. Here, we show the receptor transporting protein (RTP) family members play a dual role in both normal OR ...

Recovery of Odorants from an Olfactometer Measured by Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry
Italian National Conference on Sensors, 2013 The aim of the present study was to examine the recovery of odorants during the dilution in an olfactometer designed according to the European standard for dynamic olfactometry.

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.In soft capsules (SCs), four crucial factors can modify the properties of the shell: the shell formulation, its interaction with the fill material, the SC production and its storage conditions. Gelatin is the most used gelling agent for SCs nowadays, but they have some drawbacks which can be solved including other alternative polymers in the shell ...

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs) offer a straightforward solution for the temporary inactivation of biologically active substrates and their subsequent controlled release by light irradiation. Their relatively easy design and mode of application have made them useful tools for studying dynamic biological processes in vitro and in vivo ...

Odor recognition and segmentation by coupled olfactory bulb and cortical networks [PDF]
arXiv, 1999 We present a model of a coupled system of the olfactory bulb and cortex. Odor inputs to the epithelium are transformed to oscillatory bulbar activities. The cortex recognizes the odor by resonating to the bulbar oscillating pattern when the amplitude and phase patterns from the bulb match an odor memory stored in the intracortical synapses. We assume a

Could humans recognize odor by phonon assisted tunneling? [PDF]
, 2006 Our sense of smell relies on sensitive, selective atomic-scale processes that are initiated when a scent molecule meets specific receptors in the nose. However, the physical mechanisms of detection are not clear.
