چکیده
The Office of Public Health and Science in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS)—with input from other federal agencies, industry, and the public—conducted an assessment of the risk of illness associated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground beef. This risk assessment details our current state of knowledge about (1) the occurrence of E. coli O157:H7 in cattle, carcasses, and beef trim; in retail ground beef; and in ground beef servings consumed in the United States; and (2) the subsequent risk of illness associated with consuming ground beef contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. This Interpretive Summary provides an overview of the E. coli O157:H7 risk assessment. Its purpose is to briefly describe the material covered in the complete risk assessment, including background information on E. coli O157:H7 and related illness, the techniques and data used to develop the risk assessment, the results of the risk assessment, and the limitations and implications of those findings.

متن کاملInterpretive Diversity as a Source of Metaphor-Simile Distinction
In this paper, we argue that the metaphor form of a comparison (i.e., a topic-vehicle pair) is preferred over, and more comprehensible than, the simile form when the interpretive diversity for that comparison is high. Interpretive diversity refers to the richness of the figurative meaning of a comparison; it is high to the extent that more features or properties are related to the figurative me...
