Then they rated the foods on 51 semantic differential adjective scales which related to stimulation of the gustatory, olfactory, and trigeminal systems. The stimuli included fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, nuts, dairy products, grains, and a set of four standards: sucrose (sweet), NaCl (salty), lemon (sour), and coffee (bitter) in a thin cornstarch base. Proximity measures among stimuli for each subject were developed from the ratings on the adjective scales. Two multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedures, SINDSCAL (a variation of INDSCAL) and ALSCAL, were applied to the proximity measures yielding two-dimensional food maps which were very similar. Both MDS procedures provided weights for each subject on the two dimensions of the space common for all subjects. The weights indicated that the obese subjects found the first dimension, which was related to the hedonic and flavorous aspects of the stimuli, relatively more important than normal weight individuals. Also, obese subjects were significantly better at identifying the blended foods when compared to normal weight subjects.

AU - Nash, Michael L. AU - Dackis, Charles T2 - Physiology & Behavior AB - Eleven patients on maintenance hemodialysis, aged 19–31, and 16 healthy controls, aged 19–25, rated the similarity in odor for all 91 combinations of pairs of 14 commercial food flavors. A multidimensional scaling procedure, INDSCAL, was applied to the similarity measurements, yielding a common two-dimensional space in which flavors rated similar in odor were arranged close to one another in the space; flavors judged dissimilar were located distant from one another. INDSCAL is an individual difference model which provides weights for each subject on each of the dimensions of the common multidimensional space. The weights as well as the arrangements of flavors in multidimensional spaces for individual subjects indicated that the renal patients had sharply reduced ability to judge qualitative odor differences between food flavors. Hedonic ratings were obtained for all subjects on the 14 flavors as well. The direction of preference was similar for both renal patients and controls, with the odor of fruits preferred over meats. However, the median hedonic ratings for the two groups, renals and controls, revealed that renal patients rated thirteen of the fourteen odors more unpleasant than the controls.

The gathered data is processed at a central computing facility to provide management with operational efficiency information. A general system description of the sensor inputs, data acquisition unit, and data processing functions is presented. Sample results for a medium capacity cotton gin are demonstrated.
