ARTICLES SUMMARY Predictive microbiology and quantitative microbial risk assessment are rapidly developing disciplines that use mathematical models to quantitatively estimate the presence and growth of microbes in food products. This report explains how these techniques were used in troubleshooting a milk spoilage problem. The central objective of this article is to demonstrate the concept and ...

Fluorescence than Ferrous Hb In the absence of haemoglobin (Hb) products, no cisparinaric Acid (PnA) fluorescence is lost. However, upon addition of ferrous Hb, there is an increasing amount of fluorescence lost. Substantial fluorescence quenching is seen on the addition of extracellular mHb, with significantly less using an intracellular product. This suggests that the cellular membrane is an ...

An efficient method for obtaining longitudinal relaxation time (T1) maps is based on acquiring two spoiled gradient recalled echo (SPGR) images in steady states with different flip angles, which has also been extended, with additional acquisitions, to obtain a tissue water content (M0) map. Several factors, including inhomogeneities of the radio-frequency (RF) fields and low signal-to-noise rat...

Abstract In a posteriori error analysis, the relationship between and estimator is usually spoiled by so-called oscillation terms, which cannot be bounded error. order to remedy, we devise new approach where has following two properties. First, it dominated error, irrespective of mesh fineness regularity data exact solution. Second, captures in terms part residual that, general, quantified with...

Compressed sensing (CS), parallel imaging and partial Fourier (PF) acquisition are all effective methods to reduce k-space sampling and therefore accelerate MR acquisition. The combined use of these methods gives us more options to balance the needs for scan speed and image quality. We conducted simulations on full k-space data to demonstrate the potential use of combining CS-SENSE with PF acqu...

We present a Pauli-Villars approach to the definition of the path integral and the calculation of anomalies in two-dimensional conformal field theory. By comparing the different path integral measures, we explain the consistency, despite different origins, of the conformal anomaly in the Pauli-Villars and the Fujikawa approaches. We show that the natural energy-momentum in the Pauli-Villars app...

People are becoming more health conscious and paying attention to food safety in recent years. Instead of the fresh meat that is needed, spoiled increasingly being sold marketplaces. Meat spoilage a major issue affects everyone globe. Million instances food-borne disease recorded globally each year. This result eating rotten meat. has been includes number toxic volatile organic chemicals. Thus,...

An experiment was conducted to develop a plant extracts based quality indicator for monitoring aerobically packed chicken meat quality during storage at room temperature (25±1oC) until spoiled. Ripen black mulberry (Morus nigra) fruit extracts containing anthocyanins was used for developing quality indicator. Filter paper based indicator was exposed to the closed fresh meat environment. Changes...

BACKGROUND Renal allograft retrieval from live donors requires an accurate determination of kidney anatomy including the renal arterial supply. Traditionally, conventional angiography has served as the gold standard for obtaining this information. More recently, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has been compared with conventional angiography. Although MRA has been shown to be more cost effe...
