Physico-chemical characterisation of a non-conventional food protein source from earthworms and sensory impact in arepas
2009
International audience; This study aimed to characterise a non-conventional protein source: a powder made from earthworms, and to evaluate its potential use as human food. The way it was prepared led to low solubility and wide particle size distribution. Sensory analysis was used to assess the acceptability and the organoleptic properties of maize-based pan-cakes fortified with this novel protein powder. Satisfying products were obtained with a substitution level of 5.5% (w/w) earthworm powder in pan-cakes. GC-MS allowed the identification of more than seventy volatile compounds that may be responsible for the off-odour of the powder. The most abundant chemical groups found in the volatile …
Haptic Perception in Extreme Obesity: qEEG Study Focused on Predictive Coding and Body Schema
2020
Haptic perception (HP) is a perceptual modality requiring manual exploration to elaborate the physical characteristics of external stimuli through multisensory integrative cortical pathways. Cortical areas exploit processes of predictive coding that collect sensorial inputs to build and update internal perceptual models. Modifications to the internal representation of the body have been associated with eating disorders. In the light of this, obese subjects were selected as a valid experimental model to explore predictive coding in haptic perception. To this purpose, we performed electroencephalographic (EEG) continuous recordings during a haptic task in normally weighted versus obese subjec…
Combining hyperspectral UAV and multispectral Formosat-2 imagery for precision agriculture applications
2014
Remote sensing is a key tool for precision agriculture applications as it is capable of capturing spatial and temporal variations in crop status. However, satellites often have an inadequate spatial resolution for precision agriculture applications. High-resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) imagery can be obtained at flexible dates, but operational costs may limit the collection frequency. The current study utilizes data fusion to create a dataset which benefits from the temporal resolution of Formosat-2 imagery and the spatial resolution of UAV imagery with the purpose of monitoring crop growth in a potato field. The correlation of the Weighted Difference Vegetation Index (WDVI) from …
A Statistical Approach for A-Posteriori Deployment of Microclimate Sensors in Museums: A Case Study
2022
[EN] The deployment of sensors is the first issue encountered when microclimate monitoring is planned in spaces devoted to the conservation of artworks. Sometimes, the first decision regarding the position of sensors may not be suitable for characterising the microclimate close to climate sensitive artworks or should be revised in light of new circumstances. This paper fits into this context by proposing a rational approach for a posteriori deployment of microclimate sensors in museums where long-term temperature and relative humidity observations were available (here, the Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen, Denmark). Different statistical tools such as box-and-whisker plots, principal component …

Sensory Organ Investment Varies with Body Size and Sex in the Butterfly Pieris napi
2021
Simple Summary Pollinating insects rely on a range of senses such as vision, olfaction, gustation, and mechanosensation to utilise, locate, and fly between floral resources. The size of different sensory organs determines their sensitivity and provides an indication of their relative importance—larger organs can enhance sensitivity by increasing the number or size of sensing structures. However, increasing the relative size of an organ would require additional energy for developing and maintaining it. This likely leads to a trade-off between the energy invested into different sensory systems within individuals. To explore how the size of the sensory organs vary with body size in insect poll…
El trastorn de l'espectre autista i les aules de comunicació i llenguatge: coneixements dels futurs mestres, efectivitat de la metodologia TEACCH i a…
2018
L’augment de la prevalença dels xiquets diagnosticats amb trastorn de l’espectre autista (TEA) en els últims anys (Christensen et al., 2016), junt a la promulgació del principi d’inclusió establert a les darreres lleis educatives (LOE, 2006; LOMQE, 2013), ha comportat que l’atenció d’aquests xiquets siga una vertadera necessitat social, sobre la qual el professorat requereix estar preparat. Tot i que tradicionalment no ha estat contemplat als criteris diagnòstics, diversos estudis han evidenciat que gran part dels xiquets amb TEA presenten alteracions en el processament sensorial de la informació (per ex.: Ashburner et al., 2008; Ben-Sasson et al., 2009; Lai et al., 2011; Tomchek et al., 20…
