The environmental impacts of global food supply chains are growing with the need for their measurement and management. This paper explores the operations of a global supply chain for extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) according to a life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The LCA assessment methodology is applied to determine the environmental impact categories associated with the bottled EVOO life...

Until now, there have been various studies concerning bottle-fed and breast-fed children. Prevalence of allergic manifestations like eczema and asthma among bottle-fed children is much higher than healthy controls. In this study, we found that respiratory infection for breast-fed children was 3.1%, whereas in bottle-fed children it was 25.1%for gut disorders, 9.2% in breast-fed vs.13.1 % f...

The aim was to investigate the fate of injection and monitoring material after its use by diabetic patients in different countries (France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzeland and Tunisia). Some suitable containers are available for disposal but little is known about the attitudes of patients and physicians to them. 1 070 questionnaires were completed by patients (age: 50 +/- 18 years; diabetes dura...

A multisurface glass roller bottle has been constructed for the growth of animal cells in culture. This bottle contains five concentrically placed glass cylinders that provide additional surfaces for the growth of animal cells. The bottle occupies the same space as a standard roller bottle, but it contains nine times the surface area of a standard bottle. L and HeLa cells can be grown in the bo...

The current BacT/Alert standard aerobic (VA) blood culture bottle was redesigned and designated a nonvented aerobic (NVA) culture bottle; this bottle does not require venting. A total of 3,873 sets of blood samples for culture were obtained from adult patients with suspected bacteremia or fungemia. The NVA bottle showed performance equivalent to that of the VA bottle for recovery and speed of d...

The study examined the problem of waste disposal and management in Ughelli. A field survey was undertaken to determine the types, volume, effects and methods of managing solid waste in the Ughelli. The volume of waste was measured at dumpsites in the four existing quarters and from household bins. Appropriate waste characterization methods were employed in classifying the waste into various com...
