A preliminary study designed to assess the impact of the multisensory atmosphere (involving variations in lighting and music) on people’s rating of unflavoured and flavoured (citron and raspberry) vodkas is reported. The auditory and visual attributes of the environment were changed as people tasted, and then rated, four unlabelled glasses of vodka (two unflavoured samples, one sample of citron...

Recognition and matching of litchi fruits are critical steps for litchi harvesting robots to successfully grasp litchi. However, due to the randomness of litchi growth, such as clustered growth with uncertain number of fruits and random occlusion by leaves, branches and other fruits, the recognition and matching of the fruit become a challenge. Therefore, this study firstly defined mature litch...

The paper deals with the important element of proper lighting conditions at a workplace. case study has been focused on intelligent building “Energis” Kielce University Technology, where experimental tests took place. Several groups volunteers filled in questionnaires related to their subjective feelings lecture rooms different seasons. Simultaneously, precise measurements intensity were carrie...

The effects of different light-emitting diode (LED) lights on saffron growth and photosynthetic characteristic were explored. Physiological mechanisms explained by chlorophyll a fluorescence transient curves (OJIP) JIP-test parameters. A decrease in the red to blue light ratio resulted negative effects, particularly for monochromatic (B) LED light; seedlings showed reduced accumulation, inhibit...
