Thermal process for jerky provides proper lethality for controlling pathogens

New Interventions and Validation for the Control of Pathogens in the Processing of Jerky

Jerky is a common ready to eat product that can be purchased at just about any gas station, grocery store and small processing facility in the United States. Many small and very small plants manufacture jerky. It is important that these small and very small plants be able to validate that the product they manufacture is safe and free from pathogens. Many of the small processors use smokehouses ...

Thermal Process Maps for Controlling Microstructure in Laser-Based Solid Freeform Fabrication

The ability to predict and control microstructure in laser deposited materials requires an understanding of the thermal conditions at the onset of solidification. The focus of this work is the development of thermal process maps relating solidification cooling rate and thermal gradient (the key parameters controlling microstructure) to laser deposition process variables (laser power and velocit...

Online Dimensional Controlling System for Drilling

The drilling is well known as one of the most common hole making processes in the industry.Due to close tolerance requirement for drilled holes in the most of work pieces, onlinecontrolling of the diameter of drilled holes seems to be necessary. In the current work, an onlinedimensional controlling system was developed for drilling process. Doing this, drilling processwas executed in different ...

Antibiotic Adjuvants: Diverse Strategies for Controlling Drug-Resistant Pathogens

The growing number of bacterial pathogens that are resistant to numerous antibiotics is a cause for concern around the globe. There have been no new broad-spectrum antibiotics developed in the last 40 years, and the drugs we have currently are quickly becoming ineffective. In this article, we explore a range of therapeutic strategies that could be employed in conjunction with antibiotics and ma...
