Olfaction and Taste V is a collection of the proceedings of the fifth international symposium held at the Howard Florey Institute of Experimental Physiology & Medicine, University of Melbourne, Australia, October 1974. Contributors discuss the knowledge about olfaction and taste, including the anatomy of receptors and their ultrastructure, innervation of receptor fields, and the processes of receptor turnover. Themes ranging from taste modifiers and receptor proteins to afferent coding; how the sensory code for taste and olfaction are processed and sharpened

'Sensors' is the first self-contained series to deal with the whole area of sensors. It describes general aspects, technical and physical fundamentals, construction, function, applications and developments of the various types of sensors. This is the first of two volumes focusing on chemical and biochemical sensors providing definitions, typical examples of chemical and biochemical sensors and historical remarks. It describes chemical sensor technologies and interdisciplinary tasks in the design of chemical sensors. The major part consists of a description of basic sensors. They include electrolyte sensors, solid electrolyte sensors, electronic conductivity and capacitance sensors, field effect sensors, calorimetric sensors, optochemical sensors, and mass sensitive sensors. This volume is an indispensable reference work for both specialists and newcomers, researchers and developers.

This book contains 20 papers devoted to the domestic use of sensors. This up-to-date review fills a gap in the literature arising from the recent intense research and development of these sensors and takes an interdisciplinary approach to the operation principles of sensors and the preparation techniques, with particular regard to microelectronics techniques which allow the realization of sensor systems with integrated electronic circuitry.The applications of sensors in the domestic environment are accurately reviewed and the trends of future sensor development are also outlined.

Gas sensor technology has advanced remarkably during past few decades and has become one of the indispensable technologies for modern society. Varieties of gas sensors are commercially available and, using innovative ideas, efforts are being made to develop gas sensors of next generation having very small size with very low power consumption. The ultimate model for this is probably given by sensory organs of our own body, which are implanted finely and work well with a very modest amount of energy. In order to achieve this goal, it is essential that various aspects of gas sensors are seriously considered. These include understanding of gas sensing mechanisms, development of new materials and methods to synthesise them into selective sensors, innovations in nanostructured materials, measurement methods, microfabrication of sensors, exploring intelligent sensing system, etc. This book examines these issues pertaining to chemiresistive gas sensors.

Vaezi-Nejad (electronics and measurements, U. of Greenwich, London, England) has assembled a textbook that will be useful to graduate students and engineers on advanced solid state and fiber optic sensors, with each chapter written by a specialist in that area, and a lengthy introduction by the editor. The topics covered are: measurement and instrumentation systems based on optical techniques; amplitude, wavelength, phase and polarization modulating sensors; amorphous semiconductor photoreceptors and X-ray image sensors; dielectrophoretic sensors for microbiological applications; electrically conducting polymers for sensing volatile chemicals, and thin film (CIAIPc) phthalocyanine gas sensors. c.
