In order to comply with the consumer demand for ready-to-eat and look 'fresh' products, mild heat treatment will be used more and more in the agrofood industry. Nonetheless there is no tool to define the most appropriate mild heat treatment. In order to build this tool, it is necessary to study and describe the response of a bacterial population to a mild increase in temperature, from the dynam...

abstract irregular extraction from agricultural wells around parishan lake, moreover fall of groundwater surface and water salty, would affect the level of lake water and move lake water into wells. in this study we have evaluated the externalities of extraction from agricultural wells around the lake. therefore feedback effect is considered between agricultural activity around the lake and lev...

Food microbiologists generally use continuous sigmoidal functions such as the empirical Gompertz equation to obtain the kinetic parameters specific growth rate (mu) and lag phase duration (lambda) from bacterial growth curves. This approach yields reliable information on mu; however, values for lambda are difficult to determine accurately due, in part, to our poor understanding of the physiolog...

A fundamental aspect of the WIDAR correlator is that the sampled astronomical datastream from each antenna is accompanied by a model phase stream. This model phase accounts for, amongst other things, natural fringe rate and the fshift frequencies that are used to frequency shift the data stream from each antenna. The phase models of the two antennas of a baseline are used for fringe stopping an...
