Phosphates offer a range of possibilities when used in meat and poultry productions. Food grade phosphates are used in meat products for several reasons such as changing and/or stabilizing of pHvalue, increasing water holding capacity in order to lead to higher yields, decreasing losses of weight in cooking, improving texture and sensory properties (tenderness, juiciness, color and flavor), ext...

We describe an ODE model and a PDE model. A nonlinear diffusion system of partial differential equations is analyzed for investigation of bird flu transmission process within a poultry farm. Effect of threshold number that gives measure of infectious intensity is investigated. It depends on three factors: removal of infected birds, vaccination, and capacity of the farm. Our analysis shows that ...

Evidence about the mental health consequences of unaffordable housing is limited. The authors investigated whether people whose housing costs were more than 30% of their household income experienced a deterioration in their mental health (using the Short Form 36 Mental Component Summary), over and above other forms of financial stress. They hypothesized that associations would be limited to low...
