Each year there are approximately 76 million foodborne illnesses and fresh produce is the second most common vehicle for such illnesses. Small fruits have been implicated in several outbreaks although none have been bacterial. Prior to market small fruits are not washed or treated in any manner so as to extend their shelf life. Washing alone is not a viable option and the use of novel technolog...

Solutions of stress intensity factors for external and internal unpressurized and pressurized surface cracks in internally pressurized thick-walled reactor pressure vessels are determined directly by a three-dimensional displacement-hybrid finite element method. The finite element method is based on a rigorous modified variational principle of the total potential energy, with arbitrary element ...

Introduction: Menopause is the most important event in middle-age. Women, in this period, face several changes. Vasomotor symptoms and skin changes are prevalent in the middle-age. This study, mainly, was performed identifying the vasomotor symptoms and skin changes in menopausal women. Materials and methods: Study sample was consisted of 150 women who have visited the healthcare centers, ...

This paper presents a systematic analysis of the hydraulic flushing capacity stored volume water to remove sediments. is based on 90 laboratory experiments in which sediment evacuated was measured for varying initial volumes water, three bed slopes, and sizes. The consisted rapid emptying reservoir by means suddenly opening tilting gate downstream. produced an accelerated flow eroded mobile res...

Approximately 36% of East Asians (Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans) show a characteristic physiological response to drinking alcohol that includes facial flushing (see Figure 1), nausea, and tachycardia [1] . This so-called alcohol flushing response (also known as “Asian flush” or “Asian glow”) is predominantly due to an inherited deficiency in the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) [2]. Alt...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine the role of flushing dental water lines for the removal of heterotrophic plate count bacteria, Legionella spp., and free-living protozoa. METHODS Forty dental offices were surveyed in the study. An initial sample and a sample taken after three minutes of flushing were obtained from the air/water syringe at each location. All samples were quantit...

In Electrical Discharge Machining, oxides (or debris) are created and accumulated in the sparking gap between an electrode and a work piece. If the debris density becomes too great in certain points in the gap, there is a reduction in the resistance, which encourages the formation of abnormal discharges, results in significant electrode damage and slows down the material removal rate. To enhanc...

The cause of flushing attacks in patients with carcinoid syndrome is unknown. In a subgroup of patients (many ofwhom have metastatic gastric carcinoid tumours) histamine excretion is frequently and consistently raised.45 Two reports have shown significant reductions in both frequency and duration offlushing attacks during combined treatment with H, and H2 receptor antagonists in two patients wi...
