Water Taste Test Data

Water as an Independent Taste Modality

To qualify as a "basic" taste quality or modality, defined as a group of chemicals that taste alike, three empirical benchmarks have commonly been used. The first is that a candidate group of tastants must have a dedicated transduction mechanism in the peripheral nervous system. The second is that the tastants evoke physiological responses in dedicated afferent taste nerves innervating the orop...

Water palatability, a matter of taste

BACKGROUND The aim of this trial was to test whether the temperature or additives of the drinking water affected water uptake by nursery pigs. We designed a repeated 4 × 4 Latin Square to control for confounding factors such as; carry-over effects, learning of a preferential taste, daily variation within groups and regular increase of uptake over a day due to diurnal drinking patterns. Water ty...

A Randomness Test for Stable Data

In this paper, we propose a new method for checking randomness of non-Gaussian stable data based on a characterization result. This method is more sensitive with respect to non-random data compared to the well-known non-parametric randomness tests.

Review of Test Methods and Criteria for Assessing Taste and Off-taste

Test Data Generation Based on Test Path Discovery Using Intelligent Water Drop

Automatic test data generation is required to generate test cases dynamically for a specific software program. Manual generation of test data is too tedious and a time consuming task. This paper proposes a technique using Intelligent Water Drop (IWD) for automatic generation of test data. Correctly generated test data helps in reducing the effort while testing the software. This paper discusses...
