Microbial contamination commonly occurs in microgreens due to contaminated seeds. This study investigated the decontamination effects of water wash (control), 5% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), UV-C (36 watts), advanced oxidation process (AOP; H2O2 + UV-C), and improved AOP by combination with microbubbles (MBs; MBs MBs) on microbial loads, seeds’ viability, physio-biochemical properties from corresp...

background and objective: improved and modified automation will require the development of smart process control systems that provide on-line decisions to release patients’ test results based on high analytical quality assurance formula. materials and methods: we collected patients’ test results from 10840 healthy subjects based on 1.96z as truncation limit for 29 common haematochemical analyte...

This Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) describes the linkage between Deiodinase 1 inhibition and increased mortality via reduced anterior swim bladder inflation. The is a gas-filled organ found in many bony fish species typically consists of two chambers. posterior chamber inflates during early development (embryo), while late (larva). Both chambers are important for to control buoyancy has an addi...

During the past five years, the Java programming language has been steadily gaining ground against C++, and older, structured languages. Its major strengths are portability, strong typing, and built-in support of networking, threading, and distributed computation. Most often, poor performance, lack of operator overloading, and limitations in sub-classing, are cited as weak points of Java. With ...

Aspect Oriented Programming, is changing the way software is developed in various domains of computing and software engineering. In this article we discuss the main characteristics of AOP with a particular focus on distributed systems. The testbed for our investigation is our distributed algorithm framework, Algon. Our experiments support the hypothesis that the use of AOP will result in a bett...

Modularity is the single attribute of software that allows a program to be intellectually manageable [29]. The recipe for modularizing is to define a narrow interface, hide an implementation detail, keep low coupling and high cohesion. Over a decade ago, aspect-oriented programming (AOP) was proposed in the literature to “modularize the un-modularizable” [24]. Since then, aspect-oriented langua...

Some concerns in the design of operating systems are hard to modularize in the implementation and thus difficult to maintain. One of these “crosscutting concerns” is the interrupt synchronization strategy. Changing that strategy is typically expensive and risky. Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a promising approach to overcome these problems, but most aspect-oriented programming languages a...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are technologies based on the generation of highly reactive species, the hydroxyl radicals, used in oxidative degradation procedures for organic compounds dissolved or dispersed in aquatic media. These processes are promising alternatives for decontamination of media containing dissolved recalcitrant organic substances, which would not be efficiently removed b...

Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP) researchers have successfully developed a range of agent programming languages that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Unfortunately, despite the incommunity success of these languages, they have proven less compelling to the wider software engineering community. One of the main problems facing AOP language developers is the need to bridge the cognitive...
