Characterization of Key Odorants in Soy Sauce and Their Concentration Changes during Storage by Rui Wang, Shiyu Chang, Miao Liang, Yajian Wu, Runhu Xin, Yuping Liu, Liang Chen, Shangting Zhou

“…Methional, 3-methylbutanoic acid, phenethyl alcohol, sotolon, 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-ethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HEMF), and 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one (HDMF) had the highest FD factors of 1024. The results of quantitative analysis through the internal standard curve showed that the concentrations of HEMF, HDMF, acetic acid, 1-hydroxy-2-butanone, acetol, and furfuryl alcohol varied greatly during storage, so these compounds might be used as the indicators to determine the shelf life of HLFSS. …”

Acceptance of sexual attraction and its link to psychological distress and sexual offending among pedohebephilic clients: results from a preliminary analysis by Anna Konrad, Laura Maria Heid, Hannah Scheuermann, Klaus Michael Beier, Till Amelung

“…While theoretical and qualitative accounts suggest that accepting one’s pedohebephilic sexual interests may help mitigate both distress and problematic behaviors, the only published quantitative study to date has linked acceptance with behavior but did not analyze its effect on distress.MethodsWe examined the relationship between acceptance of sexual interests and child sexual abuse (CSA), the use of child sexual exploitation material (CSEM), and psychological distress in 238 pedohebephilic and teleiophilic men outside the judicial system (i.e., in the “Dunkelfeld”).ResultsCompared to teleiophilic individuals, pedohebephilic individuals showed lower acceptance of their sexual interests. …”

An Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Initiation and Interaction of Double Cracks in Rocks under Hydromechanical Coupling by Jie Mei, Wanzhi Zhang

“…Then, initiation characteristics and interaction behaviors of parallel and nonparallel cracks were quantitatively analyzed. The results indicate that the increase in water pressure leads to the crack initiation being inclined to the original surfaces and the growth length along the crack fronts tending to be uniform; the small tensile stress zones are formed close to the crack tips, and significant compressive stress zones are formed at both sides of the crack surfaces; stress superposition and interaction occur when crack spacing is less than 2.5a; the interactive weakening effect is mainly present in the inner side (rock bridge zone) of cracks, while a certain degree of interactive enhancement effect exhibits in the outer sides; the cracks are much easier to initiate at the outer wing cracks when the spacing is less than the critical length (0.5a); and cracks with a dip angle of 45° are much easier to initiate at the endpoints of long axis. …”
