The history of food preservation begins with the understanding that the spoilage of food

begins from the moment it is harvested and left in open air. The earliest of methods used by man included freezing meat in the winter or drying certain foods under the sun. One of the ways by which man could move from one place to another while carrying an ample supply of food was by preserving it and preventing meats and other food stuff from spoiling. The need to kill and eat foods all at one time was prevented by the idea of food preservation. It is noted that different civilizations used various methods of preservation, mainly those which ...

Process, SEQ Water (2016) The flash tank: The water from the river flows to the flash mixer where it is mixed with caustic soda and alum chemicals. The rate of chemical used depends on some sediments and wastes contained in the water. Flocculation chamber: In the flocculation chamber, smaller chemical particles undergo a gentle mixing process allowing them to mix and form large particles known as floccules made up of clay and silt. Floccules enter the sedimentation tank and settle at the bottom of the tank where they are separated and pumped out of the sedimentation tank through a ...

Bacteria refer to the regnum of prokaryotes (Sundararaj, Mudaliar, Anthoniraj, Kannan, Muthukaruppan). For the current moment, it accounts for more than ten thousand kinds of bacteria. The bacterium is recognized as one of the most ancient of living organisms, arising about 3.9 – 3.5 billion years ago. Bacteria have the substantial variation in the ways of metamorphic and energetic metabolism. Thus, autotrophs can synthesize all necessary organic molecules from non-organic compounds, whereas heterotrophs demand active organic compounds to transform them. The biggest degree of heterotrophs belongs to intracellular parasites. They are called saprophytes (Sundararaj, Mudaliar, Anthoniraj, Kannan, Muthukaruppan) and can ...

Why do people have problems with the life cycle of their goods? Perhaps all of them would like to use the only one device forever not to spend extra money on the purchase of the new technical equipment made to facilitate their busy life. Whose fault if the thing from the market broke the next day? There is the answer to all of these questions. People are too busy to read the instructions of the exploitation carefully. Instead, they prefer to learn everything by touching, pushing and turning different parts of the bought device. If only all customers would ...

Malibu is a coastal town located in the county of Los Angeles, California. The coast has about 24 beaches most of which are north of the area of Cross Creek (Malibu Local Coastal Program [MLCP]). Notable beaches include Escondido, Carbon, Surfrider, Zuma, Broad, Westward, and Broad Beaches, just to name but a few (MLCP). Like all beaches in the state, the beaches of Malibu below the high tide line are technically public. However, some beaches are private especially the smaller and more remotely situated beaches. The geographical setting of Malibu is diverse and unusual. It comprises of a narrow ...

Algae are a diverse group of organisms that are mainly autotrophs. Autotrophs are organisms that mainly produce complex organic compounds by using simple inorganic molecules and light or in other instances by chemical reactions. Algae can be broadly classified into two main groups which are unicellular or multicellular. Seaweeds form the largest and most complex marine type of algae (Olanrewaju, Wan Nik, & Kader, 2013). It should, however, be noted that algae can further be classified in many different ways. Below is an illustration of some of these classification representations. Green algae are classified into the Plantae kingdom and are, ...

Summary of the teaching plan

Health promotion is a vital activity across the lifespan of an individual. Thus, older people are not too old to start exercising, change their diets or stop smoking, etc. This teaching plan is aiming to teach older adults about the prevalence of diabetes, the risk factors, and the available prevention measures. It will focus on the teaching strategies to be adopted by the older adults so as to accommodate for the typical aging changes. This is because chronic illnesses tend to increase after 50 to 60 years old and hence, there is a need for seniors to focus on ...

Beauty is only skin deep, but that crucial layer is vitally important to many individuals, and its preservation is crucial at times. There are many uses for cosmetic surgery, not the least of which is to repair physical defects and damage done to an individual’s body through countless encounters that can leave scars and undesirable marks upon the body. The most noted use of such surgery however is that which is glamorized and showcased more often on newscasts and in regards to celebrities and those who can afford to go under the knife. Once a risky and rather ...

Literature review

Section 1: Background Context and rationale for research priorities Lens handling intensifies the incidence of lens contamination. When lens are aseptically removed from the eye, they still have a high probability of harboring microorganisms. During storage, the frequency of positive microbial bioburden remains high than 50%. The presence or movement of microorganisms from the lens to the ocular surface is a route factor for contact lenses related microbial keratitis and inflammation. There is need to priotise research in this area because the results of the studies help people to understand the factors concomitant to infectious and inflammatory complications. When ...

It has been a well-known fact that prostitution has been one of the oldest professions in the history for women. This profession does not only apply to specific women from another culture but rather this covers the lives of the women throughout the world. From the medieval times up to the late 19th century, prostitution became the booming industry reserved for women with no formal education, no family, and worst no dowry to gain a potential husband. Throughout their lives, women who worked as prostitutes had hard lives and often in poverty. Only very few of these women had ...

My two-year crop rotation plan will include seed corn and soybeans. Soybeans will be planted in the first year on a virgin land followed by seed corn in the second year. The inclusion of a leguminous crop, like soybeans, in crop rotation, improves the soil fertility as well as the structure (Mohler and Johnson, 2009). Legumes releases nitrogen to the soil, which will reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed for the sweet corn in the following year (Griffin, Liebman, and Jemison, 2000). These crops will be planted in North Carolina.

The soybean cultivar to be planted is Envy, ...

Discussion and Summary

The analysis of Process Capability of tablet compression process through the use of statistical control charts examines different parameters. Some of the parameters examined by the selected critical process step and quality control steps include; premix blending time, the drying time and method, oscillator screen size, comminutor screen size, loss of drying or granulation, final mix blending time and, final blend (Agalloco and Frederick 80). The analysis reported a consistent value of the premixing test. This indicated the level of efficiency of the process’s ability to maintain the components of premixing blending time within its performance limit. The ...

Abstract

In the experiment, the main objective was to compare the efficiency of two treatments in terms of Ajax and Hand sanitizer. The class was divided in two groups and Group A performed hand washing with Ajax while Group B used the hand sanitizer as hand washing agent. Cultures of the dominant hand by imprint method using Petri dish agar were done on each subject before and after the application of hand washing agents. The inoculated agar Petri dishes were incubated for a week at 37°C. Colony counts of the organisms identified were made. The mean change in the number ...

Introduction

Injections are among the most common health care procedures throughout the world but there is a general reluctance among some people to accept the injection without cleaning the location with alcohol swab. According to World Health Organization, there is a no need to routinely apply alcohol swab for the skin preparation before subcutaneous, intra-dermal and intramuscular injection. For the purpose of this survey, the term injection refers to intramuscular, intra-dermal and subcutaneous injections: it does not include intravenous or intra-articular injections. In medical health care, an injection is the introduction of a drug, vaccine, contraceptive or other therapeutic agent into the body ...
