Beer is a popular beverage produced by the fermentation of hopped malt extracted from barley and other grains. Some compounds (flavors) have a positive effect on aroma (attributes) and some have a negative effect (defects). This presentation will focus on a new method that enables the investigation and characterization of flavors and defects of beer in one analysis using HS trap/GC/MS.
Classically, this analysis is performed on four separate detectors. This new method employs one detector (MS) to provide these solutions required for the production and the testing of beer. The outcome is a more cost effective, accurate means to ensure the validity and the quality control of their product. Other benefits include enhanced productivity, attaining more information from a single analysis, and requiring less bench space.
The following experiments and results will be discussed.
• Quantitation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), 2,3-butanedione (diacetyl), 2,3-pentandione and t,2-nonenal
• Characterization of several types of beers
• Fermentation profiling
• Analysis of raw materials
• Aging studies

Beer is a popular beverage produced by the fermentation of hopped malt extracted from barley and other grains. Although simple in concept, beer is a highly complex mixture of many compounds including sugars, proteins, alcohols, esters, acids, ketones, acids and terpenes. Flavor is an important quality of any beer and the chemical content of the beer is obviously responsible for that flavor. Aroma is an extremely important part of the flavor and so there is a strong interest by brewers in the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in beer that affect it's aroma. This application note describes a system comprising a headspace trap sampler to extract and concentrate VOCs from a beer sample and deliver them to a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MA) for separation, identification and quantification.

flash point petroleum and gas lab experiment report, The flash point is the lowest temperature at which there will be enough flammable vapor to induce ignition when an ignition source is applied.Flash points are determined experimentally by heating the liquid in a container (cup) and then introducing a small flame just above the liquid surface. The temperature at which there is a flash/ignition is recorded as the flash point. The closed-cup test PMA 5 contains any vapors
produced and essentially simulates the situation
in which a potential source of ignition is
accidentally introduced into a container. In this
test a test specimen is introduced into a cup and
a close-fitting lid is fitted to the top of the cup.
The cup and test specimen is heated.
Subsequently, apertures are opened in the lid to
allow air into the cup and the ignition source to
be dipped into the vapors to test for a flash.
The closed cup is mostly used in product specifications and regulations due to
its better precision. The following table shows the comparative flash points
measured in open and closed cup apparatus for some common pure liquids.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

7. Tasting Beer
Besides actually making beer, much of the fun
is associated with drinking it!
It’s nutritious, it makes the world easier to live
in and it tastes good.
Taste is obviously subjective but we beer
connoisseurs generally consider the following
when drinking a fine beer:
Don’t drink out of the bottle
Don’t cool the beer to Arctic temperatures
Use an appropriately shaped glass
Don’t fill the glass completely

8. Tasting Beer
Besides actually making beer (of course),
much of the fun is associated with drinking it!
It’s nutritious, it makes the world easier to live
in and it tastes good.
Taste is obviously subjective, but beer
connoisseurs will generally consider the
following when drinking a fine beer:
Don’t drink out of the bottle
Don’t cool the beer to Arctic temperatures
Use an appropriately shaped glass
Don’t fill the glass completely
These are all done to ensure that the beer
aroma is involved in the tasting process
(beer aroma, or „nose‟ as it‟s called, is an
important part of the formal beer-judging
process)
8
9. Headspace Sampling
Headspace sampling is a bit like smelling the
aroma
Step 1 – put beer sample into a vial and seal it
Step 2 – heat the vial for a period of time at a
constant temperature
Step 3 – extract some of the vapor and
analyze it by gas chromatography
9
10. Theory
During the equilibration step, molecules
distribute themselves according to their
partition coefficients
K=Cl/Cv
Molecules with low partition coefficients
favor the vapor (headspace) phase
whereas molecules with high partition
coefficients favor the liquid (sample) Compound
phase
Partition coefficients are reduced as the
temperature is increased Liquid Sample
At equilibrium, the concentration in the
headspace phase is proportional to the
original concentration in the sample
Determining the composition of the
headspace phase enables the
composition of the sample to be
established.
10
12. Enhanced Sensitivity with the Headspace Trap
Since polar compounds in water (or beer)
have very high partition coefficients – often
less than 0.5% of the compound in the
sample may pass into the headspace.
With headspace without the trap, only a
small fraction of the total headspace vapor
will enter the column
The headspace trap technique can
enhance detection limits by 100 times by
withdrawing the entire HS volume and
enabling several injections from same vial
to be focused on trap
