Detection of odorants in odour mixtures among healthy people and patients with olfactory dysfunction.
Eur J Neurosci

Smell and Taste Clinic, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany.
Target odorant detection in mixtures has been shown to become more difficult as the number of background odorants increases and falls below chance level in mixtures with 16 components. Our aim was to investigate target odorant detection in mixtures among healthy people and compare it between dysosmic patients and age- and gender-matched controls. Participants underwent extensive olfactory testing and performed two target odorant detection tasks.

Some large social environments are expected to use Covered Path Planning (CPP) methods to handle daily tasks such as cleaning and disinfection. These environments are usually large in scale, chaotic in structure, and contain many obstacles. The proposed method is based on the improved SCAN-STC (Spanning Tree Coverage) method and significantly reduces the solution time by optimizing the backtracking module of the algorithm.

December 2024
Joint Production System Ltd, Potters Bar, UK.
The Institut Pasteur has set the ambition to encourage all staff to get involved in sustainable development across all departments on campus. The animal facility staff joined the efforts of the sustainable development department to analyse current and future processes and identify potential solutions and related brakes and leverages for the reduction of the animal facilities' environmental impact. The first step was to collect the managers' experience on the local initiatives.

Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, Medical Center - University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.
Background: Hand disinfection is often omitted during emergencies because it may delay life-saving treatments. As healthcare-associated infections significantly worsen patient outcomes, the categorical omission of hand disinfection in emergencies should be re-evaluated. Real-world observations on this subject tentatively indicate compliance rates of <10%.
