Listeria monocytogenes contamination of cantaloupes has become a serious concern as contaminated cantaloupes led to a deadly outbreak in the United States in 2011. To reduce cross-contamination between cantaloupes and to reduce resident populations on contaminated melons, application of sanitizers in packing shed wash water is recommended. The sanitizing agent of 5% levulinic acid and 2% sodium...

We theoretically investigate pump-dump photoassociation of ultracold molecules with amplitudeand phase-modulated femtosecond laser pulses. For this purpose a perturbative model for the light-matter interaction is developed and combined with a genetic algorithm for adaptive feedback control of the laser pulse shapes. The model is applied to the formation of Rb2 molecules in a magneto-optical tra...

The recent deployment of complex and capital intensive equipment in mines has resulted in increased interest in the maintenance and operational reliability of these equipments. This is because random equipment failure has consequences that influence the total operating cost of this system. This case study analyses the reliability of a fleet of load haul dump machines in a Coal India mine situat...

One of the core components of live forensics is to collect and analyze volatile memory data. Since the dynamic analysis of memory is not possible, most live forensic approaches focus on analyzing a single snapshot of a memory dump. Analyzing a single memory dump raises questions about evidence reliability; consequently, a natural extension is to study data from multiple memory dumps. Also impor...

The environmental waste problem in southern Italy is now reaching epic proportions and the problem has been linked to increasing rates of cancer. At the end of June, 2004, protestors blocked the rail links between northern and southern Italy, complaining about the re-opening of a previously condemned rubbish dump. The dump was brought back into service after household waste built up in the stre...

A superconducting electron linac together with an energy-recovery system, which has been demonstrated as a useful driver for high-power IR-FELs, seems to be an attractive device for a future X-ray FEL facility as well, because the energy-recovery enable one to reduce the RF generator power required for the operation and also reduce the radiation from the beam dump. Automatic cancellation of bea...

This paper introduces the problem of non-coal mine open pit waste dump in Shandong province, puts forward plant ecological restoration mode as solution, analyzes through adopting GIS and RS technology, from four aspects: elevation, slope, slope direction sensitivity design area, combines field investigation to carry out structural reinforcement on abandoned dump, design. The different species l...

We propose a novel way to search for feebly interacting massive particles, exploiting two properties of systems involving collisions between high energy electrons and intense laser pulses. The first property is that the electron-intense-laser collision results in large flux hard photons, as behaves effectively thick medium. second emitted photons free-stream inside thus them very thin Combining...

The authors have been conducting development of an autonomous loading system by wheel loader. As a part of the development, a detection method of location of the dump truck will be described in this paper. In the process of loading to the truck in the operation, the loader approaches to the dump truck in very close distance. The function for collision avoidance between the loader and the truck ...

Samples of soil, water, aluminum, copper and iron were irradiated in the stray radiation field generated by the interaction of a 28.5 GeV electron beam in a copper-dump in the Beam Dump East facility at SLAC. The specific activity induced in the samples was measured by gamma spectroscopy and other techniques. In addition, the isotope production in the samples was calculated with detailed Monte ...
