Download or read book Brewing Technology written by Makoto Kanauchi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many alcoholic beverages produced using various methods are consumed throughout the world. Alcoholic beverages made by brewing cereals, such as beer and Japanese sake, are extremely popular. Brewing them requires a complicated process by which the cereal must be saccharified using enzymes such as amylase. For example, with beer brewing, malt enzymes are used for saccharification. By germination, malt is made from barley to produce enzymes. Finally, wort is made by processing at higher temperatures using malt. The actual techniques require high-level skills. In this book, the discussion encompasses leading-edge brewing technology with fermentation using a non-Saccharomyces starter, healthy uses of spent grain from brewing processes, and an electronic nose for quality control, but it also includes descriptions of local traditional alcoholic beverages of Korea and Cameroon.

This book was released on 2003-08-28 with total page 1495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During recent decades we have witnessed not only the introduction of automation into the work environment but we have also seen a dramatic change in how automation has influenced the conditions of work. While some 30 years ago the addition of a computer was considered only for routine and boring tasks in support of humans, the balance has dramatically shifted to the computer being able to perform almost any task the human is willing to delegate. The very fast pace of change in processor and information technology has been the main driving force behind this development. Advances in automation and especially Artificial Intelligence (AI) have enabled the formation of a rather unique team with human and electronic members. The team is still supervised by the human with the machine as a subordinate associate or assistant, sharing responsibility, authority and autonomy over many tasks. The requirement for teaming human and machine in a highly dynamic and unpredictable task environment has led to impressive achievements in many supporting technologies. These include methods for system analysis, design and engineering and in particular for information processing, for cognitive and complex knowledge [1] engineering .

Download or read book Closed Loop Systems for Next Generation Neuroprostheses written by Timothée Levi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people worldwide are affected by neurological disorders which disrupt the connections within the brain and between brain and body causing impairments of primary functions and paralysis. Such a number is likely to increase in the next years and current assistive technology is yet limited. A possible response to such disabilities, offered by the neuroscience community, is given by Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) and neuroprostheses. The latter field of research is highly multidisciplinary, since it involves very different and disperse scientific communities, making it fundamental to create connections and to join research efforts. Indeed, the design and development of neuroprosthetic devices span/involve different research topics such as: interfacing of neural systems at different levels of architectural complexity (from in vitro neuronal ensembles to human brain), bio-artificial interfaces for stimulation (e.g. micro-stimulation, DBS: Deep Brain Stimulation) and recording (e.g. EMG: Electromyography, EEG: Electroencephalography, LFP: Local Field Potential), innovative signal processing tools for coding and decoding of neural activity, biomimetic artificial Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) and neural network modeling. In order to develop functional communication with the nervous system and to create a new generation of neuroprostheses, the study of closed-loop systems is mandatory. It has been widely recognized that closed-loop neuroprosthetic systems achieve more favorable outcomes for users then equivalent open-loop devices. Improvements in task performance, usability, and embodiment have all been reported in systems utilizing some form of feedback. The bi-directional communication between living neurons and artificial devices is the main final goal of those studies. However, closed-loop systems are still uncommon in the literature, mostly due to requirement of multidisciplinary effort. Therefore, through eBook on closed-loop systems for next-generation neuroprostheses, we encourage an active discussion among neurobiologists, electrophysiologists, bioengineers, computational neuroscientists and neuromorphic engineers. This eBook aims to facilitate this process by ordering the 25 contributions of this research in which we highlighted in three different parts: (A) Optimization of different blocks composing the closed-loop system, (B) Systems for neuromodulation based on DBS, EMG and SNN and (C) Closed-loop BMIs for rehabilitation.

Download or read book Effect of Age on the Functional Connectivity of Brain Regions Involved in Olfaction written by Rose Calhoun Haney and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study investigated the functional interactions among brains regions typically involved in olfactory processing with the application of structural equation modeling (SEM) to functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) imaging data. fMRI data was obtained during an odor detection task from ten healthy young and ten healthy elderly gender matched participants. Interregional correlations from fMRI signal data were used to calculate path coefficients and were then compared between groups using a stacked model approach. Results demonstrated that the left hemisphere functional networks differed between age groups. Comparison of path coefficients showed stronger interactions in the young occurring between piriform-amydala, piriform-entorhinal, and amydala-hippocampal connections. Interestingly, a stronger functional interaction between the piriform-orbital frontal connection was observed in the elderly network. In contrast to the left hemisphere, right hemisphere networks did not differ between age groups. These findings revealed age-related changes in functional connectivity among brain regions involved in odor detection, as well as contributed to a growing body of literature suggesting possible compensatory mechanisms occurring in the aging brain. The present study also applied SEM to fMRI data and compared functional networks between ten young and ten elderly gender matched participants during an olfactory recognition memory task. Age-related differences were observed in the left hemisphere functional network with stronger interactions occurring between the amygdala-hippocampal and amygdala-parahippocampal connections. Functional networks in the right hemisphere differed between age groups, with stronger interactions for the young occurring between the piriform-amygdala, piriform-entorhinal, and hippocampal-parahippocampal connections. Additionally, the elderly functional networks for both left and right hemispheres had a reduced number of significant functional pathways associated with the olfactory recognition memory task. This reduction in number of significant functional pathways corresponded with a significantly poorer performance by elderly on recognition accuracy. These findings suggest age-related changes in functional connectivity among brain regions involved in olfactory recognition memory, and support prior olfactory recognition memory research that suggests that the interaction between left and right hemispheres allows for optimal performance for more complex olfactory processing.
