Food Recipe Ingredient Substitution Ontology Design Pattern.

This paper describes a notion of substitutions in food recipes and their ontology design pattern. We build upon state-of-the-art models for food and process. We also present scenarios and examples for the design pattern.

Hydrogel Containing an Extract of Tormentillae rhizoma for the Treatment of Bioflim-Related Oral Diseases.

In the present study, hydrogels containing the dried extract of tormentil (Potentilla erecta (L.) Raeusch., Rosaceae) were designed and qualitatively evaluated regarding their viscosity, thixotropy, and texture properties.

Spectral sensitivity of the pupillary system.

Background: The spectral sensitivity of the pupillary mechanism is reported to be greater in the blue part of the visible spectrum compared to the sensitivity of the visual system as defined by V(lambda) for a two-degree field. This means that blue light gives rise to smaller pupils compared to those that occur with light of other colours of the same luminance. This has been interpreted as indicating that there may be a rod input to pupil response even at photopic levels of illumination.

The effect of observation time and contrast on visual acuity.

Background: Field studies of the duration of fixation during daytime driving find that it is about 0.2 seconds on average. Thus, the time available to read traffic signs is often limited.
