Optimizing the excited state processes of conjugated polymers for improved sensory response
… excitons produced after photoexcitation for chemosensory applications. By sampling many sites in a polymer film, the excitation has a greater chance to encounter an analyte, such as 2,4,6 trinitrotoluene (TNT), electrostatically poised to induce non-radiative decay. The result is attenuation of …

Domain Modeling and Conceptualization of a Theoretical Model for Sensory Response to Music
Sensory processing abnormalities present as one of the determining features in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The nature of the environmental world is comprised of intertwined, unorganized stimuli. The deficits in the processing of extraneous stimuli in multiple sensory modalities …

Role of middle-ear inertial component of bone conduction in chinchilla
… between inner-ear sound pressures and its sensory response in addition to determining the relative significance between the outer, middle and inner ear mechanisms that are prominent in bone conduction hearing in chinchilla. Using both mechanical and physiological recording techniques, we …

Quantitative sensory testing for evaluation chronic arthritis or local anesthesia
Background: Properly functioning sensory systems are crucial in perception of external stimuli. Different modalities such as touch, temperature, and pain can only be appreciated with intact sensory pathways from the peripheral receptors to the cerebral cortex via the spinal cord. Pain is a sensory …

Adults with Sensory Defensiveness and Their Use of Coping Strategies
… questionnaire examining the relationship between sensory defensiveness and coping strategies, as well as establish typical ratings for sensory defensiveness among the adult population.<em> Methods: </em>Through snowball sampling, 91 participants completed the Sensory Response Questionnaire …

Physiological Responses & Coping Strategies of Sensory Defensive Adults
… study was to learn how adults cope with their sensory defensiveness (SD) and how physiological responses differ between adults who self-report as high SD versus low SD. Methods: In this continuation study participants (age 18-64; n=23) were categorized as low SD (control group; n=9) or high SD …

On sensory experience of historic architecture: an empirical review of sensory perceptions in historic buildings, aiming to inform their conservation process.
This thesis studies peoples sensory perceptions of historic architecture, exploring the physical triggers for such experience, and connecting these with what can and should be maintained through building conservation. Sensory design is a developing field in architecture. The research argues that …

Perfil funcional e sensorial de crianças com autismo: implicações para a terapia ocupacional
… performance seems to be related to the sensory profile of the child, however, there is little national research in this area. Goals. Describe the functional and sensory profile of children with autism and analyze the implications for occupational therapy practice. Method. The …

Role of rat medial prefrontal cortex in time interval estimation
… neural activity might actually represent sensory response- or motor preparation-related one. These results suggest the rodent mPFC represents the elapse of time based on linearly changing neuronal activity on a logarithmic scale, which might be the reason why the precision of time interval …

The Unconventional Amino Acid Starvation Response of the Malaria Parasite, Plasmodium falciparum
… asexual growth, suggesting the involvement of sensory/response elements in the growth control mechanism of the parasite. The focus of this thesis was to characterize the dynamic metabolic properties of this remarkable starvation-induced state in P. falciparum and uncover the molecular basis …

Statistical Modeling of Disrupted Sensory Processing during Propofol Mediated Unconsciousness
… we have less understanding of how this disrupts sensory processing at level of functioning networks. Here we used statistical modeling to investigate sensory processing during propofol-mediated unconsciousness. We utilized a rich experimental dataset containing LFP and spiking stimulus responses …

Gardens of the mind: an exploration of the integral role of gardens in the lives of contemporary Australians by probing the construction of a public garden space and exploring visually an idiosyncratic artistic experience of the Flecker Botanic Gardens
… explored from the perspective of the aesthetic, sensory and spiritual, rather than the scientific. Our garden sanctuaries are the product of centuries of development in garden making and are symbols of people’s relationships with the environment. The garden is a significant part of Australian …
