La régulation des goûts by Christian Barrère

“…In modern societies, goods include more and more taste characteristics, i.e. characteristics that appeal to senses. Hedonic dimension of attitude is often dominant rather than utilitarian one (Holbrook and Hirschman, 1982; Spangenberg, Voss et Crowley, 1997; Addis et Holbrook, 2001). …”

‘Tactile qualities’ by Andrew Eastman

“…But “tactile” cannot be understood without evoking the problematics of touch explored in Williams’s In the American Grain (1925), and according to which true democracy requires “Men intact—with all their senses waking”. This article is an attempt to understand how the expression “tactile qualities” may be applied to Williams’s writing. …”

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy of Proteins: Implications in Drug Designing by Soumik Siddhanta, Chandrabhas Narayana

“…Since its first observation in 1977, SERS have been fast developing into an analytical tool for trace detection of molecular entities, particularly in the area of bio‐molecule sensing and characterization. Also, with the development of the ability to design a variety of plasmonic structures and to be able to control and tune their plasmonic properties, we have been able to use them as SERS substrates for probing complex materials. …”

Node Selection Algorithms with Data Accuracy Guarantee in Service-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networks by Hongju Cheng, Ronglie Guo, Yuzhong Chen

“…The service-oriented architecture is considered as a new emerging trend for the future of wireless sensor networks in which different types of sensors can be deployed in the same area to support various service requirements. The accuracy of the sensed data is one of the key criterions because it is generally a noisy version of the physical phenomenon. …”

Human breathing perception system based on Wi-Fi subcarrier mutual information by Ying LIU, Mengyuan HU, Zhihong QIAN

“…The unpredictable environmental changes cause large fluctuations in Wi-Fi signals, and it is difficult to quantify the static and behaviorally-aware dynamic components in the subcarriers, so it is not possible to accurately portray the fluctuating form of dynamic breathing characteristics.Based on this, a subcarrier mutual information breathing perception (SMIBP) system was proposed.Firstly, a form of inscribing dynamic component information (DCI) was proposed, and mutual information theory was utilized to extract the dynamic component information representing respiration in subcarriers.Then, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to combine the subcarriers to maximize the dynamic characteristics of the respiratory signals to obtain the reconstructed DCI sensory base signals.Finally, the respiration rate was obtained by combining the wavelet transform and peak detection method, which revealed of a theoretical pathway representing the dynamic component of human respiration.Simulation results show that the proposed system can better characterize the dynamic breathing component in each subcarrier, and can significantly improve the sensing accuracy and range of Wi-Fi for small-scale actions in different scenarios.…”
