The study objective was to identify the circumstances where there was risk of contamination of food (hot dogs) prepared and sold on the streets and to establish a preventive action through the creation of key surveillance sites. Data were collected from 20 vending sites using interviews, questionnaires, observations of food handling and storage, and temperature and pH measurements of both meat ...

Unconventional discourse is a noteworthy feature in schizophrenia. Semantic priming methodology underlies the influential theory that abnormalities accessing semantic representations — through spreading activation within a network — are the core mechanism for subsequent problems forming meaningful and coherent speech (Goldberg and Weinberger, 2000). These tasks demonstrate faster responses to w...

The study of sterile neutrinos has recently acquired a different flavor: being now excluded as the dominant solution for the solar or atmospheric conversions, sterile neutrinos, still attractive for many other reasons, have thus become even more elusive. The present relevant questions are: which subdominant role can they have? Where (and how) can they show up? Cosmology and supernovæ turn out t...

This paper introduces a new semantics for FIFO buffers (usually called channels) in a parallel programming language, B(PN). This semantics is given in terms of M-nets, which form an algebra of labelled high-level Petri nets. The proposed approach uses the asynchronous link operator, newly introduced in the algebra of M-nets, and repairs some drawbacks of the original M-net semantics. Channels a...

The aim of the study was to investigate preservative effect turmeric paste on African catfish in tomato sauce with a view producing ready-to-eat and reduce stress processing. microorganisms associated products were enumerated, isolated identified, lipid oxidation monitored, organoleptic properties assessed. microbial load ranged between 0.000 2.635 log cfu/g during storage. Bacillus subtilis co...

background: mahyaveh is an iranian salted-fermented fish sauce which due to its high amount of protein has risk of histamine production. this study was carried out to determine effect of zataria multiflora essential oil (eo) on histamine production in mahyaveh. methods: dried anchovies (stolephorus sp.), refined-salt and mustard seed (brassica juncea) were purchased from the local market in ban...

Aspergillus oryzae is the most important fungus for the traditional fermentation in China and is particularly important in soy sauce fermentation. We report the 36,547,279-bp draft genome sequence of A. oryzae 3.042 and compared it to the published genome sequence of A. oryzae RIB40.
