A simple theoretical model was developed to assess the contribution of the pathogens and group D pharmaceutically active waste to the toxicity of the fire plume from an accidental fire in the stored material. The method was applied to stored waste at an authorised incinerator site and the study showed the additional hazard of the pathogen biohazard and pharmaceutically active material to be neg...

In this paper, I describe multiple aspects that are closely related to the release of S-Store system, including dockerized S-Store system, new benchmark MIMIC2BigDAWG, dockerization of the integrated streaming processing system, verification of new S-Store scheduler and collection of stored procedures statistics.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has established standards for the composition and shelf stability of various readyto-eat meat products. These standards may include product pH, moisture:protein ratio, and water activity (aw) values. It is unclear how closely these standards are based on the potential for pathogen growth or toxin production. Because the vacuum packaging used on most ready-to-e...
