Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the style design methods of professional female vests that meet the emotional needs of consumers. Design/methodology/approach Using the theory of kansei engineering as a guide to screen representative samples of female professional vests and relevant emotional vocabularies of styles, through morphological analysis, style design elements of female professional vests are extracted, the fifth-order semantic difference questionnaire was used to establish the perceptual assessment matrix for design elements, the correlation analysis method and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the results of the perceptual evaluation of the sample, find out the relationship between the perceptual vocabulary and design elements of professional female vest styles, and establish a regression model, finally, it is verified by random samples of the market, so as to guide the development of new products. Findings The seven design elements extracted from professional female vest styles have an impact on consumer perception, by using a linear analysis method, the correspondence between perceptual perception of consumers and style design elements can be quantified and a model can be established to accurately predict consumers’ perceptual intentions. Originality/value The application of perceptual engineering in the style design of professional female vests provides a new idea for the design of clothing styles. It helps garment companies and designers to determine the development direction of professional woman’s vest styles, while the research results provide design reference for other products.

The standard methods committee for the 1990 edition of Standard Methods for the Analysis of Water and Wastewater has decided to consider adding a new (provisional) method for the sensory analysis of drinking water - Flavor profile analysis (FPA). A series of issues must be addressed before FPA can become a standard method. The methodology (e.g., temperature of aroma samples, sniffing technique, use of cups vs. flasks, rest intervals between samples, maximum number of samples examined per session) must be standardized. Reference standards for odors must be developed and implemented in order to achieve consistent odor quality descriptions. Development of a flavor wheel can help aid the classification and identification of odors.

Introduction: Excessive sodium intake is clearly and independently associated with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The salt taste sensitivity is closely related to hedonic aspects of nutrition, and this is an important individual factor contributing to the nutritional behavior of salt intake. Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of an adapted-sensory analysis method for rapid determination of salt taste Detection Threshold (DT - the minimum concentration necessary to detect the stimulus) and Recognition Threshold (RT - the minimum concentration necessary to recognize the salty stimulus). Methods: The temporal stability of a rapid sensory analysis based on the 3-alternative forced-choice (3-AFC) method (ASTM E679) was tested with 30 adult volunteers. DT and RT for salt were determined using a 15 series of ascending concentrations of salt (from 1 to 290 mM; 1,5-fold steps). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to test the agreement between the results of the test-retest (1-week interval). For the analysis, the threshold values were log-transformed. Results: The average time of the trial per participant was 16.7 minutes. Standard deviation on log-transformed DT and RT values quite were variable among subjects. Means for both DT and RT were lower in the retest: 2,99 mM (test) vs. 2,41 mM (retest) for DT; and 19,04 mM (test) vs. 13,76 mM (retest) for RT. However, the test-retest results for both thresholds were reasonably in agreement, as confirmed by the ICCs observed: 0.599 (CI95%; 0,157 - 0,809) and 0.783 (CI95%; 0,545 - 0,897) for DT and RT, respectively. Conclusions: The sensory analysis method used in this study exhibited evidence of temporal stability, thus of a reliable measure. This observation and the fact of being fast and simple to perform for both experimenter and participant, reinforce its suitability for the determination of salt taste thresholds in studies involving large numbers of subjects. Linking between taste sensitivity to salt consumption and some clinical characteristics such as obesity and visceral fat, may help to understand the mutual influence of these variables, and suggest appropriate interventions to reduce salt intake among individuals at higher cardiovascular risk.

Despite advances in surgical management, it is estimated that 20–30% of children with repaired cleft palate will continue to have hypernasal speech and require a second surgery to create normal velopharyngeal function (Bricknell, McFadden, & Curran, 2002; Härtel, Karsten, & Gundlach, 1994; McWilliams, 1990). A qualitative perceptual assessment by a speech-language pathologist is considered the most important step of the evaluation for children with resonance disorders (Peterson-Falzone, Hardin-Jones, & Karnell, 2010). Direct and indirect instrumental analyses should be used to confirm or validate the perceptual evaluation of an experienced speech-language pathologist (Paal, Reulbach, Strobel-Schwarthoff, Nkenke, & Schuster, 2005). The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of current instrumental assessment methods used in cleft palate care. Both direct and indirect instrumental procedures will be reviewed with descriptions of the advantages and disadvantages of each. Lastly, new developments for evaluating velopharyngeal structures and function will be provided.
