For 1982 1992, records from the California Pesticide Illness Surveillance Program (PISP) showed 210 cases associated with exposure to phosphine gas and solid formulations of aluminum and zinc phosphide and 205 cases had sufficient information to retain in the data analysis. Of the cases with sufficient information, 179 (87.3%) cases involved isolated exposure to aluminum phosphide and 3 involve...

Each year in New York City (NYC), more than 6,000 people end up hos­ pitalized for foodborne illness (New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 2014). Although the proportion of illness caused by food prepared away from the home is uncertain, the food service set­ ting is associated with 68% of nationally reported foodborne illness outbreaks where food was prepared in one place (Go...

Opinion Mining is an important concept in today’s world and due to the advent of social media it has become a huge source of database. Since almost everybody in the modern era is involved with some social media platform, the public mood is hugely reflected in the social media today. This thesis proposes to utilize this source of information and predict the sentiments of public towards a particu...

Numerous studies have shown that Operating System (OS) noise is one of the reasons for significant performance degradation in clustered architectures. Although many studies examine the OS noise for High Performance Computing, especially in multi-processor/core systems, most of them focus on 2or 4-core systems. In this study, we analyze sources of OS noise on a massive multithreading processor, ...

interface to a number of input devices. This layer is used mostly by the VEMS. I will describe it in more detail in Section 4.1.1. Close to the object handler is the collision detection module (see Chapter 3). It is responsible for detecting collisions among objects in the scene graph. In my implementation, it is integrated in the object handler, so that it notices automatically when objects ha...

The evaluation of implementing the HACCP system in contract catering companies and assessment of the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the food handlers were the main objectives of this study. It was conducted in 20 companies throughout Spain, with visual inspection of facilities and food handler activities, as well as the distribution of a self-administrable questionnaire among the 105 par...

Food safety remains a major issue around the world particularly when COVID-19 pandemic becomes main nowadays. is essential to human population worldwide because food primary energy source and nutrition for humans. Therefore, handlers' personal hygiene one of factors that are necessary maintain safety. The purpose this study was assess handler’s compliance with practices in randomly any outlets ...

Software-only directory cache coherence protocols emulate directory management by handlers executed on the compute processor in shared-memory multiprocessors. While their potential lies in lower implementation cost and complexity than traditional hardware-only directory protocols, the miss penalty for cache misses induced by application data accesses as well as directory accesses is a critical ...

Building a rich internet application (RIA) requires the programming of various callbacks and listeners. AJAX like server requests require callback handler objects that react to the asynchronous server response. Active GUI elements like buttons or menu entries require action handlers. Using a timer queue requires appropriate event handlers, too. Programming all these handlers is tedious and erro...
