متن کاملReuse Limits and Regeneration of Solutions for Cleaning Dairy Equipment
Usable life of cleaning solutions in a model heat processing unit was studied by evaluation of the nature and quantity of residue remaining on the surface of the equipment after cleaning. Lipoidal residue was recovered from equipment surfaces by ether rinsing. A surface displacement technique was used to quantify the lipoidal material, which was characterized by gas-liquid chromatographic analy...
متن کاملReuse of haemodialysis equipment: convenience and cost effectiveness.
The shortage of resources for providing renal replacement makes it essential to reduce revenue costs wherever possible. Assuming that haemodialysis is likely to remain a mainstay of renal replacement, a policy of reusing the expensive disposable dialysers and blood lines could offer substantial cost savings.

In the context of a federal government program...
متن کاملComing Clean: Understanding and Mitigating Optical Contamination and Laser Induced Damage in Advanced LIGO
The cleanliness of optical surfaces is of great concern as the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) project transitions from installation to operation at full power. More particulates than expected were observed on and near the core optics as a result of assembly and installation work, prompting a re-evaluation of longheld contamination control practices. Even low...
