This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella isolates recovered from processed poultry. Four hundred eighty pre- and postchill whole broiler chicken carcasses were collected from a poultry processing plant between July 2004 and June 2005. Water samples also were collected at the entrance and exit of the chiller. After preenrichment, carcass and...

An 80-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of near-drowning in a hot spring. Besides hypoxia, serum calcium was extremely high at 15.5 mg/dL on admission. After the treatment with normal saline infusion, furosemide and calcitonin, the hypercalcemia was transient and didn’t recur during the course. The hot spring water contained much calcium, so his hypercalcemia was considered to ...

The fuel efficiency of cooling air at the inlet marine low speed diesel engine with water-fuel emulsion combustion by ejector chiller utilizing heat exhaust gas along route line Mariupol– Amsterdam–Mariupol was estimated. values available refrigeration capacity chiller, intake temperature drop and corresponding decrease in specific consumption main varying climatic conditions were evaluated. Th...

Molecular couplings between DNA and water together with the accompanying processes of energy exchange are mapped via the ultrafast response of DNA backbone vibrations after OH stretch excitation of the water shell. Native salmon testes DNA is studied in femtosecond pump-probe experiments under conditions of full hydration and at a reduced hydration level with two water layers around the double ...

Polygeneration of hydrogen, heat, and power has been shown to improve overall plant efficiency by creating more products and introducing synergy which improve fuel cell performance (Figure 1). The integration of an absorption chiller with a high temperature fuel cell for polygeneration of combined cooling, heating, hydrogen, and power is studied. Steady-state and dynamic computer models are uti...

Increasing the energy efficiency of residential and non-residential buildings is a crucial point towards development sustainable cities future. To reach such goal, commonly employed intervention measures (for instance, on facades glass) are not sufficient efforts in reaching fully renewable generation mandatory. In this context, paper discusses applicability system with solar biomass as main so...

To detect degradation in energy efficiency of a chiller in a chiller plant, a multivariate Gaussian mixture model is applied. This classification technique was selected to take advantage of an expected correlation between measurable state variables and equipment and operation specifications and system control targets. The hidden variable is the faultiness of the chiller and can take on one of t...

Abstract In this study the first and second laws of thermodynamics are evaluated for a single effect absorption chiller. Entropy generation COP selected as objective functions their variations studied by varying generator temperature various condensing temperatures. For purpose, enthalpy entropy data super-heated steam, saturated steam water formulated in mathematical equations. Also to provide...
