Between 30 May and 1 June 2001, 10 cases of Salmonella Bovismorbificans infection were reported to Public Health Services, Queensland Health. Investigations included enhanced surveillance, case interviews, a matched case control study, environmental audit and microbiological testing of faecal isolates (phage typing) and implicated food products. Forty-one cases of S. Bovismorbificans infection ...

Partial cutting is required in areas where forest cover must be maintained to meet silvicultural objectives or to support non-timber values. The Okanagan has an arid climate and water quality is often a concern, requiring cut-and-leave patterns to meet hydrological considerations. Large areas of mature pine are harvested in sections (two or more passes) to meet cutblock size and green-up requir...

Automation of agricultural harvesting equipment in the near term appears both economically viable and technically feasible. This paper describes the Demeter system for automated harvesting. Demeter is a computer-controlled speedrowing machine, equipped with a pair of video cameras and a global positioning sensor for navigation. Demeter is capable of planning harvesting operations for an entire ...

A study was undertaken to determine if it might be possible to prepare tissue sections on slides without the use of paraffin embedding, microtome sectioning, or cryostat sectioning which involve equipment and training not always available to scholars or professionals wishing to examine tissue microscopically. After evaluating many different reagents, cutting instruments and solid supports, we d...

Product quality is the most important issue in the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) process. Hence, with exercise equipment parts Surface Roughness as the target, this study selected Spindle speed, Cutting depth, Feeding, and Tool runoff, as control parameters in CNC parametric optimization of target quality. By using the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) to define the Cause and Effect...

The manufacturing of fitness equipment involves several processes, including the cutting and punching of iron tubes followed by welding. Welding operations produce hazardous gases and particulate matter, which can enter the alveolar, resulting in adverse health effects. This study sought to verify the particle size distribution and exposure concentrations of atmospheric air samples in various w...

The development of high-speed metal cutting has resulted in the use of emulsion-type cutting oils which incorporate the cooling properties of water with the lubricating and anticorrosive qualities of fatty oils. Emulsion-type cutting oils are subject, however, to bacterial degradation and usually contain considerable numbers of bacteria. Lee and Chandler (1941) found the bacterial content of cu...
