Odor frequency and odor annoyance. Part I: assessment of frequency, intensity and hedonic tone of environmental odors in the field
TLDR
The developed methodology has been shown to yield valid information about odor exposure in the field and the discrepancies between external observers and affected residents are discussed in terms of different information processing strategies.
A Knowledge-Based Model to Assess Odor Annoyance
Various methods have been used to determine separation distances when considering human reactions to odor emissions from swine facilities. This paper provides a method for assessing human reaction to…

Interindividual differences in chemosensory perception: Toward a better understanding of perceptual ratings during chemical exposures
TLDR
It is demonstrated that a complex interplay of exposure-related factors, gender, and trait-like individual differences affects perceptual ratings during continuous chemical exposure, which seems necessary to incorporate the assessment of specific as well as general trait- like modulators into future experimental exposure studies.

Olfactory Acuity and Automatic Associations to Odor Words Modulate Adverse Effects of Ammonia
TLDR
Sensory acuity and automatically activated associations modulate chemosensory-mediated adverse effects of ammonia and could help explain differences in environmental odor annoyance.

Use of a Modified Vector Model for Odor Intensity Prediction of Odorant Mixtures
TLDR
The modified Vector model provided an effective way of relating the OI of an odor mixture with the lnOAV values of its constituents and could be directly predicted by employing the modified Vector Model after usual quantitative analysis.
Temperature Effects on Drinking Water Odor Perception
Thirteen volunteer panelists were trained according to Standard Method 2170, flavor profile analysis (FPA). Following training these panelists underwent triangle test screening to determine whether…
Correlation of human olfactory responses to airborne concentrations of malodorous volatile organic compounds emitted from swine effluent.
TLDR
Results of this study show that direct multicomponent analysis of VOCs emitted from swine effluent can be applied toward estimating perceived odor intensity.

Prediction of individual loudness exponents from cross-modality matching.
TLDR
Close agreement between the measured and predicted means, ranges, and distributions of exponent values implies that CMM combined with line-length information can be used with success to determine an individual's rate of loudness growth.

TLDR
Good internal consistency was found, indicating that subjects are successful in expressing perceived intensities of different modalities on a common scale, and imply about equal reliability in intermodal joint scaling and separate scaling.
