Quantitative Sensory Analysis. Psychophysics, Models and Intelligent Design
Sensory evaluation is a scientific discipline used to evoke, measure, analyse and interpret responses to products perceived through the senses of sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing. It is used to reveal insights into the way in which sensory properties drive consumer acceptance and behaviour, and to design products that best deliver what the consumer wants. It is also used at a more fundamental level to provide a wider understanding of the mechanisms involved in sensory perception and consumer behaviour. Quantitative Sensory Analysis is an in-depth and unique treatment of the quantitative basis of sensory testing, enabling scientists in the food, cosmetics and personal care product industries to gain objective insights into consumer preference data – vital for informed new product development. Written by a globally-recognised learer in the field, this book is suitable for industrial sensory evaluation practitioners, sensory scientists, advanced undergraduate and graduate students in sensory evaluation and sensometricians.

Was ist wirklich drin? Produkte aus dem Supermarkt
Bequem und billig ist es, das Einkaufen im Supermarkt. Vom Duschgel am Morgen uber die Spagetti am Mittag bis zu Buttermilch und Wurstaufschnitt am Abend. Wir konsumieren Fertigprodukte, wissen aber nur selten, was sie eigentlich enthalten. Auf der Verpackung ist zwar alles Mogliche angegeben, aber dort wimmelt es oft nur so von E-Nummern, PEG und Sorbitol. Kaum Jemand wei? etwas mit diesen kryptischen Begriffen anzufangen. Georg Schwedt ist so etwas wie der Peter Lustig fur Fortgeschrittene, und seine originellen Experimentierbucher haben schon viele Leser begeistert. Der leidenschaftliche Chemiker entschlusselt und erklart in diesem Werk zahlreiche Alltagsphanomene rund um die Produkte, die wir Tag fur Tag kaufen, essen und benutzen: Lebensmittel, Kosmetika, sowie Wasch- und Putzmittel. Einmal mehr gelingt es Georg Schwedt, seine Leser auf spannende und unterhaltsame Art zu informieren. Dabei lernt man nicht nur eine Menge uber unsere Warenwelt, sondern erfahrt auch, wie viel Spa? und Chemie in Supermarkten steckt!

CBRN and Hazmat Incidents at Major Public Events. Planning and Response
Sets forth what to do and what not to do to keep people and property safe Based on the author's more than two decades of managing core facets of emergency planning and response, this book enables readers to minimize the possibility of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) disaster or a hazardous material (hazmat) incident at public events. Moreover, it sets forth the tools needed to quickly respond to an incident in order to avoid or minimize casualties and damages. With its comprehensive approach, the book equips readers to plan for and manage a multi-disciplinary safety and emergency response team, including police, security, medical, military, and fire and civil protection personnel. CBRN and Hazmat Incidents at Major Public Events examines all aspects of security planning and emergency response, including: General planning and preparedness procedures such as initial considerations, response network development, and training and exercise Planning and preparedness for security and emergency response providers, including medical, fire, police, military, and VIP protection personnel Incident response, including initial response, detection and identification, and law enforcement Lastly, the author provides fourteen specific public event scenarios, explaining what to do and what not to do for effective emergency planning and response to CBRN and hazmat incidents. These scenarios also set the foundation for preparedness training and exercises. Throughout the book, sidebars summarize the author's extensive operational and managerial experience, helping readers focus on the core tested and proven strategies and techniques needed to prevent or mitigate the impact of a CBRN or hazmat incident. With its unique focus on CBRN and hazmats, this book is essential reading for all personnel charged with protecting lives and property at large public events.
