A microbiological safety cabinet was evaluated to determine conditions under which microorganisms might escape. Tests were conducted under three cabinet-closure conditions, various airflow velocities, and different laboratory operations, with 10(5), 1.1 x 10(5), and 10(6) microorganisms per cubic foot of cabinet space released per min for 5 min. The data revealed that (i) escape of a human infe...

The development of a low temperature storage cabinet for the preservation of viruses and other infectious agents some years ago (Horsfall, 1940) led to the use of similar solid C02 cabinets in numerous laboratories. The original cabinet has been in continuous operation for more than 11 years, and others more or less like it have been operating for almost as long. Despite the generally satisfact...

During the period of 2001–2006, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) adopted a market-oriented policy under the Koizumi cabinet. In 2006, following the formation of the first Abe cabinet, the LDP returned to a traditional redistributive policy. We assume that the supporters of the Koizumi cabinet had an expectation of upward income mobility via the market. On this assumption, using data covering ...

BACKGROUND Infection control is a key issue in podiatry as it is in all forms of clinical practice. Airborne contamination may be particularly important in podiatry due to the generation of particulates during treatment. Consequently, technologies that prevent contamination in podiatry settings may have a useful role. The aims of this investigation were twofold, firstly to determine the ability...

The product temperature in the refrigerated display cabinets is very variable and it influences directly the safety and quality of the food products. This variability is due to the type of display cabinet (vertical, horizontal), the position of the product inside the equipment, the fluctuation of the ambient air temperature in the supermarkets (day/night, opening hours, seasons, air conditionin...

OBJECTIVE "Classic" articles remain an important resource in teaching psychiatry. But, such materials are often buried in a faculty member's filing cabinet, effectively lost in today's world of instant access. We attempt to recover these materials through a marriage of traditional reading lists and contemporary technology. METHOD The authors created a sharable electronic filing cabinet to sto...

in recent years immense interest has been focused on the use of solar dryers especially when taking into consideration economical and ecological aspects and increasing in fuel costs. the aim of this study was to compare the qualitative factors of raisins made by five different drying methods. at the first step, pretreatments were applied to grapes (var. sultanas) and then the grapes were dried ...

Six species of grass (four C3 and two C4) from southeastern Australian native pastures were grown in controlled environment cabinets at current (~370 !!mol CO2 mol-I) and twice current (~750 !!mol CO2 mol-I) cabinet [C02l. Photosynthetic gas exchange and aboveground biomass were estimated after seven weeks. Cabinet [C02l had a highly significant impact on above-ground biomass (P<0.0003) with pl...
