Boundary tastes at work: the gendered effect of authority positions in the workplace on taste in clothing and food Universiteit Gent
On the localization of tastes and tasty products in 2D space Universiteit Hasselt
People map different sensory stimuli, and words that describe/refer to those stimuli, onto spatial dimensions in a manner that is non-arbitrary. Here, we evaluate whether people also associate basic taste words and products with characteristic tastes with a distinctive location (e.g., upper right corner) or a more general direction (e.g., more right than left). Based on prior research on taste and location valence, we predicted that sweetness ...
No haste, more taste: An EMA study of the effects of stress, negative and positive emotions on eating behavior KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: Stress and emotions alter eating behavior in several ways: While experiencing negative or positive emotions typically leads to increased food intake, stress may result in either over- or undereating. Several participant characteristics, like gender, BMI and restrained, emotional, or external eating styles seem to influence these relationships. Thus far, most research relied on experimental laboratory studies, thereby reducing the ...
Investigation of thermal properties of cement paste with fluorescent lamp waste glass, glass cullet and coal/wood ashes Universiteit Antwerpen
The thermal character of cement hydration reactions causes concrete to endure temperature changes during the first days after casting. The present research intends to evaluate the influence on the temperature of hydration of cement paste mixes with local industrial wastes such as lamp glass waste powder/suspension, glass cullet, bottom/fly coal/wood ashes substitution at level of 20% and 30%. The temperature of hydration of cement paste mixes ...
Rheological and strength performance of cement paste with ground fluorescent lamp glass waste and ash Universiteit Antwerpen
The rheological behaviour of fresh mortars is a key characteristic since it determines the material's workability, having as well a great influence on the hardened product's final characteristics. Portland cement substitution with lamp glass waste (DRL - mercury vapour lamps and LB - fluorescent tubes) in concrete has a significant effect on strength performance and workability. In the present study an experimental program aiming to evaluate the ...

Haste makes waste : should current guideline recommendations for initiation of renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury be changed? Universiteit Gent
There is broad consensus among guideline organizations that renal replacement therapy (RRT) should not be delayed in case of life-threatening conditions. However, in case of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) without these conditions, it is unclear whether immediate RRT has an advantage over delayed RRT. Two recently published randomized controlled trials (AKIKI and ELAIN) with seemingly opposite results have reignited the discussion whether ...
Validation of Edible Taste Strips for Assessing PROP Taste Perception KU Leuven
A novel delivery method is described that incorporates taste stimuli into edible strips for determining n-propylthiouracil (PROP) taster status. Edible strips that contained 400 or 600 nanomoles of PROP were prepared for psychophysical studies. Using these strips, we measured taste intensity, taste hedonics, and taste quality responses in a sample of healthy volunteers (n = 118). Participants were also asked to assess a single NaCl strip, a ...
Age-related changes in mouse taste bud morphology, hormone expression, and taste responsivity Universiteit Antwerpen
Normal aging is a complex process that affects every organ system in the body, including the taste system. Thus, we investigated the effects of the normal aging process on taste bud morphology, function, and taste responsivity in male mice at 2, 10, and 18 months of age. The 18-month-old animals demonstrated a significant reduction in taste bud size and number of taste cells per bud compared with the 2- and 10-month-old animals. The 18-month-old ...
