Modification of aftertaste with a menthol mouthwash reduces food wanting, liking, and ad libitum intake of potato crisps [PDF]
This research investigated the effect of modifying the aftertaste of potato crisps on (1) temporal sensory perception and (2) appetite using three mouthwash conditions (no mouthwash, a water mouthwash, and a menthol mouthwash).

Can GNSS reflectometry detect precipitation over oceans? [PDF]
For the first time, a rain signature in Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS‐R) observations is demonstrated. Based on the argument that the forward quasi‐specular scattering relies upon surface gravity waves with lengths larger than ...

Determination of odour concentration by TD-GC×GC–TOF-MS and field olfactometry techniques [PDF]
Field olfactometry is one of the sensory techniques used to determine odour concentration, in atmospheric air, directly in emission sources. A two-dimensional gas chromatography with time of flight mass spectrometer (GC×GC-TOF-MS) allows performing the chemical characterization of various groups of chemical compounds, even in complex mixtures ...

Direct measurement of molecular mobility and crystallisation of amorphous pharmaceuticals using terahertz spectroscopy. [PDF]
Despite much effort in the area, no comprehensive understanding of the formation and behaviour of amorphous solids has yet been achieved. This severely limits the industrial application of such materials, including drug delivery where, in principle ...

Objective and efficient terahertz signal denoising by transfer function reconstruction [PDF]
As an essential processing step in many disciplines, signal denoising efficiently improves data quality without extra cost. However, it is relatively under-utilized for terahertz spectroscopy.

Crystal structure and charge distribution of pyrazine: effects of extinction, thermal diffuse scattering and series termination [PDF]
The crystal structure and electronic charge distribution of pyrazine (1,4-diazabenzene) has been determined at 184 K by X-ray methods. The structural results of Wheatley [Acta Cryst. (1957), 10, 182-187] have been confirmed. A clear indication of bonding
