Abstract:
A multistage dynamic flow dilution olfactometer allowing the delivery of precisely controlled stimuli over a wide concentration range is presented. Discrete concentration values, in the range 10(-6) to 5.6 X 10(-2) of the saturated vapor of an odorous compound, are obtained from two original concentration by combining 4 dilution stages. Short stimulus pulses, of a known and reproducible concentration and with short rising and falling times, are sampled from steady concentration levels. A programmable controller manages the olfactometer dilution stage selection, the odor stimulus switch and starts the peripheral devices required by the experiment. The programming of olfactometer function makes it an extremely flexible system for various experimental projects in olfaction.

Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...

In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...
