Mechanistic-modeling has been a useful tool to help food scientists in understanding complicated microwave-food interactions, but it cannot be directly used by the food developers for food design due to its resource-intensive characteristic. This study developed and validated an integrated approach that coupled mechanistic-modeling and machine-learning to achieve efficient food product design (thickness optimization) with better heating uniformity. The mechanistic-modeling that incorporated electromagnetics and heat transfer was previously developed and validated extensively and was used directly in this study. A Bayesian optimization machine-learning algorithm was developed and integrated with the mechanistic-modeling. The integrated approach was validated by comparing the optimization performance with a parametric sweep approach, which is solely based on mechanistic-modeling. The results showed that the integrated approach had the capability and robustness to optimize the thickness of different-shape products using different initial training datasets with higher efficiency (45.9% to 62.1% improvement) than the parametric sweep approach. Three rectangular-shape trays with one optimized thickness (1.56 cm) and two non-optimized thicknesses (1.20 and 2.00 cm) were 3-D printed and used in microwave heating experiments, which confirmed the feasibility of the integrated approach in thickness optimization. The integrated approach can be further developed and extended as a platform to efficiently design complicated microwavable foods with multiple-parameter optimization.

Plant-based diets have become popular as a means of reducing the environmental footprint of the diet and promoting human health and animal welfare. Although the percentages of vegetarians and vegans are low compared to omnivores, their numbers have increased significantly in the last years. The use of non-animal food products other than meat alternatives is also increasing and this tendency constitutes an opportunity for the food industry. In this review, we present that plant-based meat and milk alternatives are consolidated but that there is a niche for egg, seafood alternatives, and new products which may not resemble any traditional animal food. However, not all animal food substitutes are sustainable and some of them are even ultra-processed. In addition, there are concerns on safety and labeling, and consumers demand clear information and regulation. The challenges in this field are connected with food design and technology, sensory science, nutrition, and dietetics. Moreover, adequate selection and combination of foods is important in order to achieve consumer acceptance while preventing nutritional deficiencies in those who choose this type of diet.

Abstrak- Manusia adalah subjek utama arsitektur, dan arsitektur hadir sebagai wadah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan  akan ruang untuk beraktivitas. Dalam hal ini, manusia sebagai subjek arsitektur tidak hanya mencakup orang dewasa saja, tetapi juga anak-anak. Pada usia 3-5 tahun, anak-anak sedang dalam masa yang aktif dan  berkembang. Mereka sedang dalam masa di mana rasa ingin tahu mereka besar, dan imajinasi mereka juga sedang  berkembang. Karenanya, pengalaman multisensori merupakan sesuatu yang penting bagi mereka untuk  berkembang baik secara fisik maupun mental. Pengalaman multisensori dapat dihadirkan melalui interaksi anak-anak dengan lingkungannya, baik di dalam maupun di luar ruangan didukung oleh desain sensorik. Salah satu  lingkungan di mana anak-anak dapat berinteraksi dengan lingkungannya adalah sekolah. Sekolah Playgroup – TK  Jagad Alit Waldorf Bandung adalah sekolah yang berbasis pendidikan multisensori yang didirikan sejak tahun  2015. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi aspek arsitektural apa saja yang dapat menghadirkan  pengalaman multisensori bagi anak dan apakah pengalaman multisensori anak sudah terpenuhi atau belum. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif, data diperoleh dari studi  literatur, pengamatan langsung ke lapangan, serta dari wawancara terhadap guru-guru sekolah playgroup – TK  Jagad Alit Waldorf Bandung.  Diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa aspek arsitektural sekolah playgroup – TK Jagad Alit Waldorf Bandung  memenuhi pengalaman multisensori anak, dengan sensori yang paling banyak terwadahi adalah sensori sentuhan.  Terdapat empat sensori utama yang menjadi fokus pada kurikulum Waldorf, yaitu sentuhan, gerakan,  keseimbangan, dan kehidupan. Pengalaman sensori itu dipenuhi lewat bentuk alat permainan yang menarik, serta  penggunaan material yang cukup beragam. Penggunaan material tersebut tidak hanya menarik bagi indera peraba,  tetapi juga bagi indera penglihatan. Tekstur material menjadi sesuatu yang menarik bagi anak-anak usia dini.  Sensori lain yang berada dalam bagian empat sensori utama yang menjadi fokus anak-anak 0-7 tahun  adalah gerakan anak-anak. Penyusunan furnitur membuat yang menciptakan ruang yang lapang menyediakan  ruang yang cukup bagi anak-anak untuk bergerak dengan bebas.

The designated learning environment for autism is unique and should consider sensory issues to overcome their needs. The purpose of this paper is to review related articles to gain a better understanding of autism needs regarding sensory design, sensory issues, sensory space, internal environment, and physical learning environment. This paper will outline the sensory design of the physical learning environment that would impact the sensory design towards the physical learning environment. This research paper concludes to be a guide for the designer to overcome sensory input so that autistic can learn more efficiently and develop with less stress.Keywords: Autism; sensory design; sensory issues; physical learning environmenteISSN: 2398-4295 © 2019.

<p>This thesis discusses the importance for people within the confines of high-density, metropolitan cities to find a collective moment of retreat through an architectural landscape of silence. Silence is becoming a desired and yet difficult to obtain commodity in modern western society. Due to intensified work and home commitments combined with overwhelming sensory manipulation in the urban environment, stress and psychological overloading is common. Stress and psychological overloading is problematic with regards to a sense of connectivity to other people. With constant sensory onslaught it is becoming increasingly important to create moments of stillness, which in the course of controlling and manipulating external stimuli allows for mental and physical retreat through contemplation. Historically places of silence and contemplation in western urban settings were places of worship. These spaces are designed to encourage groups of people to congregate and experience internal reflection while establishing a sense of togetherness. As western society moves towards secularisation, finding moments of silence collectively becomes even more significant in harvesting and maintaining a sense of belonging. Through referencing Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Max Picard an in-depth exploration into sensory design and what silence embodies is established. This, in combination with a critique of the detrimental current situation in modern society, asserts reasons for the need to revert to simplified sensory experiences in order to increase personal awareness of self and others. Nature and its pivotal role in stimulating a sense of silence is investigated through current theory and personal design explorations. This research is reinforced by case studies into successful modern places of retreat, for example Dominique Perrault’s Bibliothéque Nationale de France. Such schemes are used to understand notions of ritual and removal within a city setting. By incorporating silence (both visually and aurally) into an everyday city park in London, opportunities are created for the wider public to encounter and benefit from Stille.(1)   (1) — German: English translation is Silence</p>
