Flavors of Responsibility
<p>In this thesis, I will assess the question of what it means to be responsible for an action, and attempt to unify the various concepts around the conception of answerability. Focusing on that notion, I argue, will gives a better understanding of the other proposed conceptions of responsibility: …

Using Heavy Flavors To Study New Physics
<p>In this doctoral dissertation I discuss the possible standard model contributions to select leptonic heavy meson decay modes. Included are calculations of soft photon contributions to a di-lepton decay of B-mesons as well as two-particle hadronic unitary contributions to the rare di-leptonic …

Controlling Light-Induced Flavors in 2% Milk
Energy regulations have shifted commercial retail cases from fluorescent to light emitting-diode lights (LED), however the effect of LED light on milk quality (flavor and nutritional content) has not been thoroughly studied. Packaging efficacy of light protecting additives (LPA) in high-density …

Identification and Elucidation of Factors Contributing to High Quality Beef Flavors
A beef flavor with many of the desirable product attributes of beef extract was developed based on enzymatic hydrolysis and incorporation of the components of lean beef into a beef flavor. This product had a good flavor profile and was superior to synthetic beef flavorings. It lacked an intense …

Quantum Chromodynamics with Eight and Twelve Degenerate Quark Flavors on the Lattice
… behavior of non-abelian gauge theories with many flavors of fermions. In perturbation theory, an infrared fixed point is predicted to exist, and theories become conformal in the low energy limit, in non-abelian gauge theories with the number of fermions just below the threshold of losing …

Variations in Consumer Rejection Thresholds of Water Samples Including Mixed-Berries Flavors
… the consumer rejection thresholds of mixed-berry flavors in both sweetened and unsweetened water samples and examine the effects of demographics, food neophobia status, and personality traits on the consumer rejection thresholds. The second part of this thesis aimed to distinguish and compare …

Multiple Layers and Flavors: The “Death of the Author” in Like Water for Chocolate
<p>First published in 1989 in Spanish and then in 1992 in English, Laura Esquivel's <em>Like Water for Chocolate</em> is one of the best known Mexican literary works in the United States. Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, Esquivel's novel has inspired great diversity of critical …

Comparison of Artificial Flavors in Commercial Products and Actual Natural Flavor via Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy Data.
<p>In this research project, real natural strawberries bought from different local sources were profiled by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GCMS). These profiles were then used as a reference to compare GCMS profiles of commercial artificial strawberry flavor products such as strawberry …

Identification and characterization of potent odorants responsible for typical and storage-induced flavors of cola-flavored carbonated beverages
Cola is the predominant flavor among the various types of carbonated beverages. The uniqueness and complexity of cola flavor are the result of natural flavor ingredients, such as essential oils and vanilla extract. Many of the volatile components of these flavorings, however, are not stable under …

The chiral phase transition of QCD with 2+1 flavors : a lattice study on Goldstone modes and universal scaling
This PhD thesis is concerned with the chiral phase transition of QCD with two degenerate light quark masses and a strange quark mass close to its physical value. We analyze the quark mass dependence of the chiral condensate and chiral susceptibilities close to the transition temperature. The …

Chemical and physical stability of spray-dried and glass encapsulated spray-dried flavors stored below their glass transition temperatures
… of readily volatilized and/or oxidized spray-dry flavors. MET is the use of a quenched melted glass-forming crystalline material as an extra layer of encapsulation for spray-dried (SD) flavors to further enhance stability and extend shelf life. The objectives of this research were to: 1) compare …

Balancing Flavors, Constructing Identities, and Building a Community: Rethinking Diaspora and Migration Through the Foodways of a Thai Community in Washington, D.C.
<p>As globalization intensifies, human movement becomes increasingly common. A nuanced investigation into the processes of adjustment and community construction among relocated people is now more necessary to understand the effects of these processes on cultural ideology and behavior. My focus on a …

Exploring Metallic Flavor Perception: Analysis of Human Salivary Proteins and the Use of the Iron-Binding Protein Lactoferrin in Reducing Metallic Off-Flavors
Metallic flavors are of concern for many industries including food, health, and water. Metallic off-flavor, induced by ferrous sulfate solution (10mg/L), and its remediation using pre- and post-rinse treatments of water (control) or metal chelators, were studied. Metal chelators included …

Effects of diversity training and a retention interval on neophobia and conditioned taste aversion
… quinine, hydrochloric acid, saline, or the three flavors of sucrose, quinine, and hydrochloric followed one or 28-days later by testing for neophobia and training and testing for conditioned taste aversion to saline. At the one-day interval, preexposures to saline, hydrochloric, or multiple …

Aspects of modality
… the same modal auxiliaries come in different flavors: epistemic, deontic, ability, teleological... This fact is neatly captured in a system where each modal has a single lexical entry, where the difference in flavor comes from contextually-provided accessibility relations (cf. Lewis 1973, …

Pea Protein De-flavoring by Ozone
… of ozone in diminishing the concentration of off-flavors and its influence on the structure and functionality of pea protein isolate. The research aims to provide valuable insights into addressing the challenge of unappealing taste in plant-based protein sources. A novel experimental technique was …

Zein encapsulation of amphiphilic compounds
Functional compounds including flavors, essential oils, antioxidants or nutraceuticals are widely added into food system to enhance sensory properties or for health purposes. However, these compounds might not be stable in food systems during processing, storage and food preparation. Encapsulation …
