The taste system provides important information about the edibility and makro-nutrient content of a food via differentiation between taste qualities. Specific receptors on the tongue are activated by chemicals signifying a taste quality before the signal is conveyed to the brain. [...]

Gustatory stimulation during neuroscience experiments proves to be exceptionally challenging, as the required stimulus control is non-trivial. We designed a new stimulator that meets the demands of behavioral, EEG/MEG, and neuroimaging (fMRI) studies. [...]

The ability to taste enables detection of nutrients and toxins in the oral cavity and is therefore a crucial determinant for decisions as to whether to consume or reject a food. The assessment of taste function is pertinent to identify selective (for one taste) or generalized (for all tastes) taste impairment, as it may lead to deviant eating behavior and malnutrition. [...]

The sense of taste is crucial for the evaluation of food, promoting the ingestion of nutrients, while helping us avoid possibly toxic substances. Humans are innately able to discriminate between taste categories (e.g. [...]

Contribution submission to the conference Erlangen 2018In-situmeasurement of optical properties of metallic surfacesusing the Doppler-shifted emission of fast neutral atoms ina low density plasma—∙Sven Dickheuer1,OleksandrMarchuk1,Christian Brandt2,Andrei Goriaev1,MykolaIalovega1, andPSI-2 Team1—1Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH- Institut für Energie- und Klimaforschung - Plasmaphysik, Partnerof the Trilateral Euregio Cluster (TEC), 52425 Jülich, Germany —2Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, 17491 Greifswald, GermanyThe knowledge about the optical properties of metallic surfaces dur-ing plasma exposition is crucial for many plasma diagnostics. In fusionplasmas, for instance, reflection properties of the plasma facing mir-ror and plasma wall components have a strong impact on the signalin the visible range [...]

In the gradual internal reforming (GIR) process, the water released by the electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen at the anode is used for the steam reforming of the fuel in the catalytic layer deposited over the anode of the SOFC. We have developed a highly active ceria-based catalytic layer that efficiently converts the primary fuel (ethanol or methane) into hydrogen using the electrochemically-generated steam. [...]

Air pollution issues, especially in metropolitan cities, are another driver for a change of fossil fuel based energy technology towards renewable energy sources and the use of electric power. However, electrical power is difficult to store. [...]
