    Visual attention to and perception of undamaged and damaged versions of natural and colored female hair

    No full text
    Female hair color is thought to influence physical attractiveness, and although there is some evidence for this assertion, research has yet not addressed the question if and how physical damaging affects the perception of female hair color. Here we investigate whether people are sensitive (in terms of visual attention and age, health and attractiveness perception) to subtle differences in hair images of natural and colored hair before and after physical damaging. We tracked the eye-gaze of 50 men and 50 women aged 3150years whilst they viewed randomized pairs of images of 20 natural and 20 colored hair tresses, each pair displaying the same tress before and after controlled cuticle damage. The hair images were then rated for perceived health, attractiveness, and age. Undamaged versions of natural and colored hair were perceived as significantly younger, healthier, and more attractive than corresponding damaged versions. Visual attention to images of undamaged colored hair was significantly higher compared with their damaged counterparts, while in natural hair, the opposite pattern was found. We argue that the divergence in visual attention to undamaged colored female hair and damaged natural female hair and associated ratings is due to differences in social perception and discuss the source of apparent visual difference between undamaged and damaged hair

    Formation of Aliphatic and Aromatic α-Hydroxy Ketones by Zygosaccharomyces bisporus

    No full text
    The wild-type yeast strain Zygosaccharomyces bisporus CBS 702 produced a-hydroxy-ketones (acyloins) from amino acid precursors after transamination to the corresponding 2-oxo acids. The key enzyme of the subsequent decarboxylation and C-C bond forming reaction, pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), was examined for its substrate- and stereo-specific-ity. A wide variety of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes was successfully converted to acyloins. 19 of the biotransformation products identified had not been reported as natural substances before. Product yields were strongly affected by substrate structure. © 2000, Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. All rights reserved

    Possibilities and limitations of forensic linguistics : multidisciplinarity at the studies of forensic-linguistic texts with special regards to the topics of criminalistic, jurisprudence and forensic handwriting analysis

    No full text
    Die Arbeit ist in vier Themengebiete gegliedert, welche anhand von interdisziplinär vernetzten Beispielen am Schluss veranschaulicht werden, um das breite Spektrum der Anwendungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen. Der erste Teil, welcher auch den Schwerpunkt und den umfangreichsten Teil dieser Arbeit darstellt, ist das Themengebiet der forensischen Linguistik. Dabei werden im Speziellen die Hypothesen, Analysemethoden und im Besonderen die Autorenerkennung als Herzstück beleuchtet und anschließend die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen dieser wissenschaftlichen Methode aufgezeigt. Der zweite Teil „Der kriminalistische Ansatz“ beschäftigt sich mit der Arbeitsweise der Kriminalisten und der Spurensicherung, wobei zunächst ein paar Grundbegriffe erläutert werden, um das Thema besser zu veranschaulichen. Hier werden auch die wissenschaftlichen Methoden und modernen Analysegeräte für verschiedene kriminalistische Spuren beschrieben und erklärt, unter anderem die zur Schriftvergleichung verwendeten Gerätschaften, welche für den anschließenden dritten Teil, die forensische Schriftvergleichung, von Bedeutung sind. Bei der forensischen Schriftvergleichung geht es im Besonderen um die Analysemethoden und die graphisch relevanten Aspekte von Schriften. Anschließend wird im vierten Teil kurz auf das in dieser Arbeit auch relevante Thema der Rechtswissenschaften eingegangen. Diese vier Themengebiete werden im letzten Teil mit wahren und themenmäßig sehr unterschiedlichen Beispielen verbunden, um die Aspekte aller bei den Ermittlungen und Analysen von (kriminalistischen) Fällen zu verdeutlichen.This paper is structured in four topics, which are illustrated in form of multidisciplinary examples at the last chapter of this work to demonstrate the possibilities of the application spectrum. The first part, which represents the main part of this work, gives the attention to the subject of forensic linguistics. In this case the hypotheses, the multivariate methods of analysis and the identification of the author, as the special part, are demonstrated and afterwards the possibilities and the limitations of these subjects are illustrated. The second part of this work is about criminalistic analysis methods, which includes the work of a criminalist and the securing of evidence. At the beginning some special terms will be defined to be able to retrace this art of working. Whatsoever the scientific methods and modern analysis equipment for criminalistic evidence are described and avowed, including also the ones, which are needed for the following third part, the forensic handwriting analysis. The forensic handwriting analysis deals with the methods of the analysis of handwritings and the relevant graphic aspects of handwritings. Afterwards it’ll be payed regards to jurisprudence, which also plays a part in this work. In the last part all these four themes are brought together and are manifested with the help of true and various examples to demonstrate the whole range of variations in crime scene investigations and analysis methods.vorgelegt von Frauke ObermoserAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersInnsbruck, Univ., Diss., 201
