BACKGROUND Campylobacter is the most common cause of bacterial enteritis worldwide. Handling and eating of contaminated poultry meat has considered as one of the risk factors for human campylobacteriosis. Campylobacter contamination can occur at all stages of a poultry production cycle. The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of Campylobacter during a complete turkey product...

Microphytobenthos-macrofauna sediment interactions and their effects on sediment erodability were examined in laboratory experiments. Sediment beds were manipulated in a tidal mesocosm to produce diatom mats in exponential or in stationary phases of development after 6, 8 or 11 d of culture. These sediment beds were used in flume experiments to investigate the influence of bioturbation by the g...

The interstellar cloud surrounding the solar system regulates the galactic environment of the Sun, and determines the boundary conditions of the heliosphere. Both the Sun and interstellar clouds move through space, so these boundary conditions change with time. Data and theoretical models now support densities in the cloud surrounding the solar system of n(H)=0.22±0.06 cm, and n(e)∼0.1 cm, with...

Mass settling of phytoplankton can result in the accumulation of a layer of phytodetritus on the sea floor. In order to determine the fate of this organic matter, we must know whether the phytodetritus may be returned to the water column by resuspension. This study was designed to measure the critical bed shear stress (t0crit) for resuspension of phytodetritus and to test whether t0crit differs...

Over the past decade, the Internet has helped spawn a new movement in digital music. It is not academically based, and for the most part the composers involved are self-taught. Music journalists occupy themselves inventing names for it, and some have already taken root: glitch, microwave, DSP, sinecore, and microscopic music. These names evolved through a collection of deconstructive audio and ...

The existence of intracellular particles with sedi-mentation characteristics intermediate between those of mitochondria and microsomes has been demonstrated in liver by studies of enzyme distribution among subcellular fractions (1-3), and the postulated intermediary particles were named "lysosomes" because of their manifold hydrolytic properties (1). The electron microscope shows that this inte...

Graphene is a single-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms, the thinnest material ever discovered. The special single atomic structure graphene makes it have many unique physical and chemical properties, these excellent properties make bright application prospect in field composite materials. use modern digital production technology to coordinate management various departments an enterprise can grea...

1 1i 1T 1 F"" What happens when an industry's by-product turns out to be as valuable as its primary products? The poultry industry may be about to find out. Scientists are exploring new methods for turning the industry's excess fluff into products ranging from notepaper to auto body parts to high-quality animal feed, saving trees and replacing man-made materials in the process. The National Chi...
