Connecting words with senses, namely, sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, to comprehend the sensorial information in language is a straightforward task for humans by using commonsense knowledge. With this in mind, a lexicon associating words with senses would be crucial for the computational tasks aiming at interpretation of language. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no syste...

BACKGROUND Cochlear implant in children, speech perception and oral language, hearing and oral language performance in children with pre-lingual profound sensory-neural hearing impairment, users of cochlear implant. AIM To study the hearing and oral language performance of children with pre-lingual bilateral profound sensory neural hearing impairment, users of multi-channel cochlear implant c...

Agar and κ-carrageenan emulsion gels were used to produce Frankfurters with reduced animal fat content by partially (50%) or completely (100%) replacing the pork back fat. The results showed that 50% of substitution did not affect mechanical physicochemical properties obtained sausages compared control (pure fat). Slight changes in textural TBARS values observed for 100% substituted sausages, w...

The proposal of this work is to develop hardware and algorithms completely integrated with the sensorial systems of robots. The intention is adjust its movements in sensorial environments. In this context, the algorithms are called Artificial Proprioceptive Systems (APS), where these algorithms detail how to configure controllers for to provide the movement of robot-arm.This work initially intr...

Cured Iberian ham is one of the most valuable meat products of Spain and Portugal, with a first-rate consumer acceptance. Its sensorial characteristics are basically due to high intramuscular fat content and marbling, i.e. number, position, shape and size of intramuscular fat streaks. Our current attempts are to investigate the relationship between spatio-geometrical characteristics of fat stre...

Phenolic compounds (benzoic and cinnamic acid derivatives) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with multiple wavelength detector (HPLC- -MWD) in grape marc distillates aged in Quercus petraea, Quercus robur and Quercus alba wooden barrels. In addition to colour indices and evaluable polyphenols, all samples were described by sensorial analysis. There were significant diffe...

While humans are capable of building connections between words and sensorial modalities by using commonsense knowledge, it is not straightforward for machines to interpret sensorial information. To this end, a lexicon associating words with human senses, namely sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, would be crucial. Nonetheless, to the best of our knowledge, there is no systematic attempt in ...

Through interacting with urban and architectural spaces, pedestrian pathway‟s ambient fingerprints delineate ambiences with identifiable characteristics, thus characterizing landscape perception potentialities. Based on a measure of the surrounding open spaces using isovists, our proposal consists in building a sensory Digital Terrain models (DTM) in which the entropy of the function of radial ...

Internet of Things (IoT) is being researched all over the world. The ability to communicate with the physical world through digital sensorial and actuator devices has enabled human being to understand, control and maintain nature with more efficiency. Several research are presented in the literature where majority focused on specific applications, or some specific challenge. These works often r...
