local food production can be seen worldwide, and there are several local wisdoms on food production. there are many problems on local food production, including the problem of microbiological contamination, which is considered a great concern. the safety consideration is required. in the tropical world, the problem of local tropical food production should be specially discussed. there are many ...

The possible effect of contrails in modifying the weather is reconsidered in the light of information obtained from ground-level contrails in Alaska. It appears likely that inadvertent cloud seeding b y jet aircraft may be of the same order of magnitude as that attained in commercial cloud seeding operations. Further investigation is needed; but in the meantime, the possibility of contrail cont...

OBJECTIVE To study factors possibly associated with tumor contamination in the biopsy path of primary malignant bone tumors.

The present study was designed to monitor the microbiological quality of beef from local and imported cattle in the main slaughterhouse of Al Baha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the effect of seasonal variation on it. The total aerobic viable count (TAVC) was calculated on samples collected from six different sites of carcasses during winter and summer. The mean TAVC (log 10 CFU/cm2), during wint...

This paper describes the building of an integrated simulation tool based on a systems approach, and its contribution to local political discussion of the mitigation of microbiological contamination of the water in a coastal area. Local management schemes view water quality as a high-priority environmental objective. In practice, how far this objective is achieved depends on trade-offs between t...

ingestion of infective metacercariae, attached to watercress or other various species of water and terrestrial plants, has been implicated as the main source of human contamination by fasciolid flukes. presence of several species of aromatic wild grown plants, which are eaten fresh on the table or used for preparation of some plant-made foods (delar, mixture of salt and ground local plants, as ...
