This paper describes the integration of several cognitively inspired anticipation and anticipatory learning mechanisms in an autonomous agent architecture, the Learning Intelligent Distribution Agent (LIDA) system. We provide computational mechanisms and experimental simulations for variants of payoff, state, and sensorial anticipatory mechanisms. The payoff anticipatory mechanism in LIDA is im...

Table tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) have been tested during maturation process by carrying color determination by means of instruments as well as trough sensorial analysis, aiming to stablish data correlation between both methods. Recent picked testing fruits were selected by taking into account an uniform physiological maturation considered adequate for harvesting. Fruits were presen...

Materials and methods Retrospective analysis of 195 patients. The fuzzy model determined a DPN degree score (0-10) by the combination of fuzzy sets derived from clinical variables (sensorial modalities and a set of DPN-related symptoms), using if-then rules to combine the inputs with the output sets (Mamdani process), with membership functions determined by a team of 4 DPN specialists. The MCA ...

Vitamin C content and sensorial properties have been evaluated in air-dried carrots previously subjected to different ultrasound (US) or conventional blanching pretreatments. In addition, mass spectral fingerprints obtained by the Headspace ChemSensor System have been evaluated for the first time for classification of carrots according to their processing. Conventional blanching treatments at h...

The authors investigated age-related differences in phenomenal characteristics of autobiographical memories for positive, negative, and neutral events. Younger and older participants were asked to recall two specific memories of each type and then to rate their memories on several sensorial (e.g., visual, taste) and contextual (e.g., location, time) characteristics. The authors found that emoti...

The effect of organic and conventional agricultural systems on the physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds content, and sensorial attributes of tomatoes ("Redondo" cultivar) was studied. The influence on phytochemicals distribution among peel, pulp and seeds was also accessed. Organic tomatoes were richer in lycopene (+20%), vitamin C (+30%), total phenolics (+24%) and flavonoids (+21%)...

O estudo se refere a importância do marketing sensorial e como ele influência na decisão de compra público idoso. Possui objetivo geral analisar por pessoas idosas no município Santa Maria. A justificativa deste deve ao fato que o mercado está cada vez mais disputado e, as empresas devem compreender os sentidos afetam consumidores para não percam seus clientes atraiam novos. metodologia caracte...
