We evaluated four commercial transport systems with a standardized inoculum of clinical isolates of N. gonorrhoeae (NG), and assessed survival after holding for up to 48 hours at both ambient and refrigeration temperatures. Suspensions of clinical isolates of NG were standardized and adsorbed onto four transport swab types: Culturette EZ (Becton Dickinson [BD], Cockeysville, MD, USA); Culturesw...

The article analyses the investments efficiency of sulphur oxide (SOx) scrubber installation to comply with the requirements of MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI, which sets 0.1% SOx limits in 2015 in Emission Control Area (ECA) and 0.5% in 2020 globally. There are two most realistic technologies to reduce SOx emission suitable for existing fleet: low sulphur fuel; scrubber. Mentioned technologies are comp...

The HP scrubber is an equipment used to separate liquid from gas in the oil and industry. low level vessel one of abnormal conditions scrubber, a blowby event will happen because level. So, controller indicator required prevent system damage workplace accidents. alarm response time calculated order avoid accident. To determine for dynamic process simulation method can be using Aspen HYSYS versi...

SRAM-based FPGAs are sensitive to radiation effects. Soft errors can appear and accumulate, potentially defeating mitigation strategies deployed at the Application Layer. Therefore, Configuration Memory scrubbing is required to improve radiation tolerance of such FPGAs in space applications. Virtex FPGAs allow runtime scrubbing by means of dynamic partial reconfiguration. Even with scrubbing, i...

Thermal nuclear reactor power is typically evaluated with secondary system calorimetric calculations based on feedwater flow rate measurements. The feedwater flow rate should therefore be measured accurately. Venturi meters are currently used to measure the feedwater flow rate in most pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The long-term operation of a nuclear power plant causes a buildup of corrosi...

Tobacco dust represents a critical threat to the operators’ respiratory health. Even when wet scrubbers display high purification efficiencies and strong adaptability dust, their potential applications in tobacco industry have not been studied. In present research, removal efficiency of scrubber for fine were examined at laboratory industrial level. Results showed that under conditions reached ...

The genus Annona is confined almost entirely to tropical and subtropical America and the Caribbean region (Safford 1914). Edible species include Annona muricata L. (soursop), A. squamosa L. (sugar apple), A. cherimola Mill. (cherimoya), and A. reticulata L. (custard apple). Each geographical region has its own distinctive pest fauna, composed of indigenous and introduced species (Bennett & Alam...

In principle, the installation of emissions abatement technology (otherwise known as scrubbers) on ships would reduce air pollution and premature deaths from disease and allow vessels to save costs by continuing to burn cheap high-sulphur residual fuel oil. But very few scrubbers have been installed. A recent House of Commons Select Committee Inquiry was unable to decide between the competing t...

A mathematical model has been developed for the prediction of the collection efficiency of submicron particles in the conduit type scrubber. The model has been tested with the data in the literature [1,3].
