abstract background: and soils with which it comes in contact. there is dual exposure from radon in water i.e. due toinhalation of the radon released from the water into the ambient air and through ingestion whenwater is used for drinking. as radon contaminated water adversely affects the health, it istherefore fundamental from health and hygiene point of view to measure radium concentrationand...

Milk from different animal species has variable levels of antimicrobial factors against some of spoilage bacteria. For example, they are significantly present in higher concentration in she-camel's milk than in cattle or buffalo and they are more heat-resistant than their counterparts in cattle and buffalo. Spoilage bacteria are known to communicate with each other by release of signaling molec...

Background. Various sources of mammalian milk have been tried in CMA. Objectives. To determine whether camel milk is safer than goat milk in CMA. Methods. Prospective study conducted at Hamad Medical Corporation between April 2007 and April 2010, on children with CMA. Each child had medical examination, CBC, total IgE, cow milk-specific IgE and SPT. CMA children were tested against fresh camel ...

background: everyone is exposed to radon because it is present everywhere with varying concentrations. radon and its progeny are well established as lung carcinogenic. materials and methods: track etch technique using lr-115 plastic track detectors has been used to measure the effective radium content and radon exhalation rates in soil samples collected from urban area of etah district of uttar...

background: radon concentration was measured in 50 drinking water samples in mashhad - iran. b the tap water used for drinking and other household usages can increase the indoor radon level. drinking water samples were collected from various places and supplies of public water used in mashhad. then radon concentration has been measured by portable radon gas surveyor silena (prassi) system. resu...

introduction cr-39 detectors are widely used for radon and progeny measurement in the air. in this paper, using the monte carlo simulation, the possibility of using the cr-39 for direct measurement of radon and progeny in water is investigated. materials and methods assuming the random position and angle of alpha particle emitted by radon and progeny, alpha energy and angular spectrum that arri...

In this preliminary study we evaluated the effect of different donkeys’ milk additions in cheese making on acceptability fresh Caprino, a typical goat produced region southern Italy. three batches were considered: A1 only goats’ milk, A2 and A3 with addition 5% 10% respectively. With exception colour, lowest improved Caprino cheese. particular, significant highest ratings (P < 0.05) observed od...

This study contributes to the agribusiness supplier relationship management literature both empirically and theoretically. The paper presents results from a survey of 133 dairy producers in Malaysia, and paper identifies how Malaysian milk buyers can build a loyal customer base with their suppliers as a means to secure uninterrupted milk supplies. A structural equation model was conducted to te...

Certain aldehyde and ketone compounds can be used as indicators, at a molecular level, of the oxidized flavor of milk powder instead of sensory evaluation. This study investigated the formation of aldehyde and ketone compounds as affected by the heat-related processing and storage of milk powder. The compounds were extracted by solid phase microextraction fiber and determined using gas chromato...
