Intestines are used for the production of natural casings as edible sausage containers. Derived from animals (pigs and sheep) experimentally infected with FMDV (initial dosage 10(7.3) PFU/ml, strain O(1Kaufbeuren)), these natural casings were treated with sodium chloride or a phosphate salts/sodium chloride mixture and the residual FMDV titres measured. After storage at about 20 degrees C, no r...

Centrifugal compressors are a key piece of equipment for modern production. Among the components of the centrifugal compressor, the impeller is a pivotal part as it is used to transform kinetic energy into pressure energy. Blade crack condition monitoring and classification has been broadly investigated in the industrial and academic area. In this research, a pressure pulsation (PP) sensor arra...

ement integrity achieved in the Gulf of Mexico Marco Polo development in Green Canyon block 608 is putting innovative slurry systems on the map of sought-after technologies for deepwater plays. These new slurries help reduce the known risk of shallow flow and combat possible formation of gas hydrates. While Anadarko considered conventional foamed slurries in the planning phase of this 20-in. co...

Development of defect free software is one of the primary concerns of any software industry. The main objective is to ship a high quality software product to their customers in order to attain total customer satisfaction. This is the only strategy through which industry can continue to sustain in the dynamic market. Hence, several defect management techniques are followed to reduce the defect l...

Abstract This study evaluated the micro-enterprise production practices and microbiological properties of Philippine pork sausage. It was noted that most sausage manufacturers fall under said business category require workers to take a bath prior operation wear aprons while few hand washing use hairnet facemask. No one used gloves. Meat materials are sourced locally undergo no grinding which mo...

The contents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in Frankfurtertype sausages were investigated in depency on hot smoking conditions (glow smoke), type of casing, back fat content and different types of wood chips. For the smoking experiments three different types of smoke densities and ventilator velocities, three types of casings, four different back fat contents (10%, 20%, 30%, and 39%)...

RWTH participated in the System Combination task of the Fifth Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT 2010). For 7 of the 8 language pairs, we combine 5 to 13 systems into a single consensus translation, using additional n-best reranking techniques in two of these language pairs. Depending on the language pair, improvements versus the best single system are in the range of +0.5 and +1....
