Bacterial aerosolization from an ultrasonic cleaner

Effect of aerosolization on subsequent bacterial survival.

To determine whether aerosolization could impair bacterial survival, Pseudomonas syringae and Erwinia herbicola were aerosolized in a greenhouse, the aerosol was sampled at various distances from the site of release by using all-glass impingers, and bacterial survival was followed in the impingers for 6 h. Bacterial survival subsequent to aerosolization of P. syringae and E. herbicola was not i...

Severe burns from alkali drain cleaner.

TO THE EDITOR: Alkali drain cleaner has previously been reported to cause oral, oesophageal and cutaneous burns. 1-4 The risk of these cleaners causing full thickness cutaneous burns in children needs to be emphasised. Two toddlers recently presented to our hospital with severe burns after exposure to alkali drain cleaning products. An 18-month-old boy opened the box and bit open the silver foi...

An Intelligent Agent for a Vacuum Cleaner

This paper introduces an Intelligent agent for the vacuum cleaner named as VROBO. Objectives of this work are to prepare a pedagogical device for Artificial Intelligence students and to practically implement the Artificial Intelligent Technology in real world problems to enhance the physical capabilities of human being. Most of the significant Intelligent Agent’s attributes like; Goals, Percept...

An Architecture for A Synthetic Vacuum Cleaner

This paper discusses three increasingly complex de nitions of the vacuum clean ing task Each de nition requires di er ent capabilities in the vacuuming agent and hence di erent internal software ar chitectures However the de nitions sug gested form a progression from reactive to synthetic to intelligent and the lessons learned looking at one problem supply im portant insights for tackling the n...
