Validation of pencil beam scanning proton therapy with multi‐leaf collimator calculated by a commercial Monte Carlo dose engine

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the clinical beam commissioning results and lateral penumbra characteristics of our new pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy using a multi‐leaf collimator (MLC) calculated by use of a commercial Monte Carlo dose engine.

The Taste of Music

open access: yesPerception, 2011
Zarlino, one of the most important music theorists of the XVI century, described the minor consonances as ‘sweet’ (dolci) and ‘soft’ (soavi) (Zarlino 1558/1983, in On the Modes New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1983). Hector Berlioz, in his Treatise on Modern Instrumentation and Orchestration (London: Novello, 1855), speaks about the ‘small acid ...

Taste Receptors beyond Taste Buds

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Taste receptors are responsible for detecting their ligands not only in taste receptor cells (TRCs) but also in non-gustatory organs. For several decades, many research groups have accumulated evidence for such “ectopic” expression of taste receptors. More recently, some of the physiologic functions (apart from taste) of these ectopic taste receptors ...

Altered functional properties of the codling moth Orco mutagenized in the intracellular loop-3

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Amino acid substitutions within the conserved polypeptide sequence of the insect olfactory receptor co-receptor (Orco) have been demonstrated to influence its pharmacological properties.

Clinical Implications of Psychophysical Olfactory Testing: Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment Outcome

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Purpose of ReviewOlfactory dysfunction dramatically impairs quality of life with a prevalence of 20% in the general adult population. Psychophysical olfactory testing has been widely used to evaluate the ability to smell due to its validated utility and ...

CHANGING HIGHBROW TASTE: FROM SNOB TO OMNIVORE*

open access: yes, 1996
Appreciation of fine arts became a mark of high status in the late nineteenth century as part of an attempt to distinguish highbrowed Anglo Saxons from the new lowbrowed immigrants, whose popular entertainments were said to corrupt morals and thus were ...

The coding of valence and identity in the mammalian taste system

open access: yesNature, 2018
The ability of the taste system to identify a tastant (what it tastes like) enables animals to recognize and discriminate between the different basic taste qualities1,2.

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

Time–frequency analysis of gustatory event related potentials (gERP) in taste disorders

open access: yesScientific Reports
In taste disorders, the key to a correct diagnosis and an adequate treatment is an objective assessment. Compared to psychophysical tests, EEG-derived gustatory event-related potentials (gERP) could be used as a less biased measure.
