Correlation Analysis and Modeling of Salivary Flow Rate and Spicy Sensory Intensity Grading

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022
The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between spiciness and saliva flow rate by measuring the saliva flow rate of subjects after consuming different concentrations of capsaicin solutions, and to establish a rapid method for determining

Parallel adaptation to lower altitudes is associated with enhanced plasticity in Heliosperma pusillum (Caryophyllaceae)

The Plant Journal, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 1619-1632, September 2023., 2023
Significance Statement In early stages of adaptation to hotter and drier habitats, an alpine plant in the carnation family shows increased expression plasticity at ecologically relevant genes. This paper investigates two contrasting hypotheses regarding the role of phenotypic plasticity during evolution of alpine/montane plant ecotypes.

Correlations between Capsaicin, Dihydrocapsaicin and Phenolic Content in Habanero Chillies

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2021
Australia is a minor producer of chilli, with the industry producing around 2500 tonnes of chillies per year. Due to the small size of the industry, there is currently limited research on the typical levels of capsaicinoids in the Australian crop and the

Antifungal activity of chili pepper extract with potential for the control of some major pathogens in grapevine

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 7, Page 2503-2516, July 2023., 2023
Oleoresin from chili peppers offers new potential as alternative to copper and synthetic pesticides in vineyard: high capsaicinoids (and polyphenols) content seems to contribute to inhibit some of the most important or newly emergent grapevine pathogens growth.

Behavioral, neurological, and psychiatric frailty of autobiographical memory

WIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 14, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023
The five long‐term memory systems and their assumed brain bases. Abstract Autobiographical‐episodic memory is considered to be the most complex of the five long‐term memory systems. It is autonoetic, which means, self‐reflective, relies on emotional colorization, and needs the features of place and time; it allows mental time traveling. Compared to the

Global Surpluses of Extraction and Slow Climate Violence: A Sociological Framework

Sociological Inquiry, Volume 93, Issue 2, Page 320-340, May 2023., 2023
This review article examines the concept of slow violence in relation to the current climate collapse. It outlines the extractive relationship between states in the Global North and Global South, and explores how this relationship creates and sustains disproportionate climate violence for the Global South.

Acute effects of capsaicin on energy expenditure and fat oxidation in negative energy balance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Addition of capsaicin (CAPS) to the diet has been shown to increase energy expenditure; therefore capsaicin is an interesting target for anti-obesity therapy.

PREDATORY FLEAS, STERILE FLIES, AND THE SETTLERS: Agricultural Infrastructure and the Challenge of Alien‐Native Dichotomies in Israel/Palestine

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 87-112, February 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT In this essay, I follow predatory fleas, sterile flies, and other insects, as well as farmers, across the Arava/Arabah, an arid desert region in southern Israel/Palestine, south of the Dead Sea, marked by harsh environmental conditions.

On the Application of an Observations‐Based Machine Learning Parameterization of Surface Layer Fluxes Within an Atmospheric Large‐Eddy Simulation Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 127, Issue 16, 27 August 2022., 2022
Abstract Recently, machine learning techniques have been employed to develop improved models for predicting surface‐layer fluxes of momentum, heat and moisture based on field observations. Herein we explore refinement to these models, in particular artificial neural networks (NN), and investigate their applicability within an atmospheric large‐eddy ...
