As theoretical physicist and zoologist Prof Dr Wolf A Kafka (20.11.1939, born in Wasserburg/Inn Germany) headed the physical and neuro- physiological research at the Max-Planck-Institute for Behavioral- physiology since more than 30 years. His research concerned the molecular basis and the industrial application of the physiology of odor reception and its discrimination – from receptor cell level up to the brain. Numerous developments, patents, and prizewinning documentations are based on his performances. He is member of several international renowned scientific societies and was neat member at the Peking University, Beijing in China. Since 1998 he is
elected certification chairperson of the advisory Board of the Centre for Behavioral Sciences of Canines (CSC) of the Universita ́ degli Studi di Padova, Italy.
Prof Dr Wolf A Kafka’s connection to SOKKS© was initiated when one of his co-workers, a tight friend of his, was lost during his studies on insect olfactory communication and plant preferences in the Bavarian Alps. An immediately initiated intensive, more than 3 weeks lasting, search together with specialized detector dogs of the Bavarian police, however, remained without success.
Experienced on the problems on animal olfactory conditioning he initiated, in return for the generous support by the Bavarian Police, a co-operation with the ministry of the interior to optimize olfactory conditioning and training of search dogs.
His concept was focused on producing conditioning material (odor sources) fulfilling the following demands:
no regulatory handling restriction as is generally asked for compounds which are hazardous for humans, animals, and environment.
highest purity, so that conditioning should be avoided by any else components which are not essential to be detected, like solvent residues, phlegmatics, or any packaging contaminants. – In case of search of explosives, a detection of the latter ones could closure of an airport!
to improve highest quality of selectivity and sensitivity of detection, the evaporation rates of the conditioning material should be adapted to the thresholds, the lowest level, of detectable odors.
the conditioning material should be applicable as a multicomponent source, meaning that individual substance groups essential to be detected (as like explosives, or narcotics, or arsons, or corps and lost persons and so on) should each be realized by only one quality of conditioning source: conditioning sources for the quality of explosives should render an allover detection of essential explosives as like octogene, C4, TNT, TAPT, guns, mines, …, sources for the quality narcotics should render a detection of cocaine, hemp, amphetamines, crack and crystal meth …, and so forth. on.
the material should be applicable as a reference for at least 3 years, especially due to the separation into original, used, and waste training aids
ii
The handling of training aids should be easy, allow simulation of big odor source amounts and release nearly no contamination
SOKKS© products have meanwhile gained the level of a world-wide standard conditioning and training tool in police, army, and such like institutions, even in the wide area of species protection, pest control, healthcare, and common dog training.
