continued preserves, moreover, the effects of gross temporal distortions and masking that occur within and between words in consecutive discourse. Discrimination scores for the tri-word test of intelligibility (TTI) as compared with the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) and the C.I. D. sentence lists all taped with the same talker were lower when tested in quiet and even relatively lower in noise. The ...

AIM The aim was to develop an indicator sensor for real-time monitoring of meat quality and to compare the response of indicator sensor with meat quality parameters at ambient temperature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Indicator sensor was prepared using bromophenol blue (1% w/v) as indicator solution and filter paper as indicator carrier. Indicator sensor was fabricated by coating indicator solution...

Interest in the use of active and intelligent packaging systems for meat and meat products has increased in recent years. Active packaging refers to the incorporation of additives into packaging systems with the aim of maintaining or extending meat product quality and shelf-life. Active packaging systems discussed include oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide scavengers and emitters, moisture contr...

Abstract Without a cure, vaccine, or proven long-term immunity against SARS-CoV-2, test-trace-and-isolate (TTI) strategies present promising tool to contain its spread. For any TTI strategy, however, mitigation is challenged by pre- and asymptomatic transmission, TTI-avoiders, undetected spreaders, which strongly contribute ”hidden" infection chains. Here, we study semi-analytical model identif...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of peripheral perfusion is a standard practice in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), which includes the qualitative assessment of foot warmth. The perfusion indicator, derived from the pulse oximetry signal, is available, along with some bedside monitors. OBJECTIVES To describe the correlation between RN qualitative assessment of foot warmth, measured foot temperatu...

The existence of a turbulent/turbulent interface (TTI) has recently been verified in the far wake circular cylinder exposed to free-stream turbulence (Kankanwadi & Buxton, J. Fluid Mech. , vol. 905, 2020, p. A35). This study aims understand physics within TTI. boundary, approximately 40 diameters downstream subjected grid-generated turbulence, was investigated through simultaneous cinematog...

reaction to fire of fire-retarded rigid pur foams and two types of metal faced rigid polyurethane foam core sandwich panel was evaluated by using cone calorimeter test method. the tests were carried out in various radiative heat fluxes from 15 to 75 kw/m2. the radiation rate effect on reaction to fire parameters, including time to ignition (tti), peak of heat release rate (prhr), total heat rel...
