The effect of face fanning during recovery from exercise hyperthermia
No full text Hyperthermia was induced in nine subjects on two separate occasions by a progressive treadmill run, which resulted in an average esophageal temperature (Tes) of 39.77 ± 0.07 °C after 30–57 min. Fanning the face during exercise to simulate conditions during running (wind at 3.75 m∙s−1) maintained a tympanic temperature (Tty) that was lower than Tes; the difference was 1.5 °C at the end of exercise. In one session, face fanning was interrupted at the end of running, whereas in the other it was maintained for 15 min after exercise stopped. Face fanning had no significant influence on the fall of Tes during recovery, but it markedly influenced the course of Tty during this period. When face fanning was stopped at the end of the run, Tty rose by nearly 0.5 °C, peaked after 4.5 min. and thereafter decreased slowly to a value close to Tes. In contrast, when face fanning was maintained throughout the recovery period, Tty rose only slightly (0.1 °C) and remained significantly lower than Tes at all times. The results suggest that following hyperthermic exercise, face fanning could be helpful in preventing acute cerebral hyperthermia. </jats:p

Shrimp dating of zircons in eclogite from the Hercynian basement from north eastern Sardinia (Italy)
No full textSHRIMP (Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe) U–Pb ages of zircons from a single sample of mafic eclogite (Punta de li Tulchi, Sardinia, Italy) are reported. The study under cathodoluminescence (CL) reveals two groups of metamorphic zircons and the SHRIMP analyses allow recognition of three stages: 1) 453 +/- 14 Ma; 2) 400 +/- 10 Ma; and 3) 327 +/- 7 Ma. The age of 453 +/- 14 Ma could be that of the magmatic protolith and an age of 327 +/- 7 Ma can reasonably be attributed to the main Variscan collisional event in Sardinia, which produced Barrovian-type metamorphism, and retrogression of eclogite under amphibolite-facies metamorphism. The intermediate age 400 +/- 10 Ma is difficult to interpret and it could represent either the age of the eclogite facies metamorphism or it is a result of Pb-loss during the main Variscan event at 327 +/- 7 Ma
Characterization of velocity and shear rate distribution in a continuous mixer
No full textComputers simulations have been increasingly used to model mixing for uses in many industries. These simulations have given much insight into the mixing that takes place in different types of mixers. However, most computer simulations are unvalidated. Experiments have not been performed on the same systems to compare the results therefore the accuracy of a simulation is not precisely known. Validation is most important in complex systems or when working with fluids of a non-Newtonian nature. Understanding the mixing that takes place within the mixer allows for changes to be made to the mixer for different materials and aids in mixer design. In order to quantify the mixing taking place in a Readco two inch continuous processor, laser Doppler anemometry was used to measure fluid velocity. This velocity was compared to computer simulation results and was used to calculate the shear rate, length stretch, area stretch and mixing efficiency at different points within the mixer. With this information, the accuracy of the computer simulations was determined. Differences among the mixing of three fluids with different rheology were found. The mixing taking place in different areas of the mixer was assessed. Shear thinning fluids were found to be better mixed with the paddle configuration used. The fluids were mixed best in the intermeshing region and between the tip of the paddle and the barrel wall.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 88-90)by Lindsay M. Fannin

Screening forCronobacterSpecies in Powdered and Reconstituted Infant Formulas and from Equipment Used in Formula Preparation in Maternity Hospitals
No full textBackground/Aims: Cronobacter spp. have been identified as being of considerable risk to neonates. The occurrence of organism in infant formulas is therefore of considerable interest. Methods: The occurrence of Cronobacter spp. in infant feeds (formulas and fortified cow’s milk) was determined using most probable number (MPN) analysis, and from formula preparation utensils. Ninety nine samples were analyzed, of which 42 were unopened cans of powdered infant formula (PIF), 25 reconstituted infant formulas in feeding bottles, 27 utensils used from the preparation of infant formula, and 5 samples of fortified cow’s milk. Presumptive Cronobacter spp. isolates were identified using the 7 allele multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme. Results: C. sakazakii, C. malonaticus and C. muytjensii were recovered from PIF. Although the incidence of Cronobacter in PIF was 29% (12/42), the level was low with an average of 0.54 MPN/100g. According to MLST profiling, C. sakazakii was the most frequently isolated Cronobacter species, and C. sakazakii ST4 (associated with neonatal meningitis) was recovered from 2/42 PIF samples at 0.51 and 0.92 MPN/100g. Conclusions: Cronobacter spp. can be isolated from PIF and therefore strict hygienic practices during PIF preparation are important to minimize neonate exposure and reduce the risk of severe infections
Comparison of multidrug resistance gene regions between two geographically unrelated Salmonella serotypes
No full textObjectives: The aim of this study was to identify chromosomally integrated genes conferring multidrug resistance to a Salmonella enterica (S.) serotype Typhimurium isolate, phage type DT193, isolated in Ireland and to compare them with resistance genes conferring plasmid-mediated multidrug resistance to a S. Enteritidis isolate from Italy. Methods: A complete DNA sequence of the regions containing the resistance genes was obtained from the chromosome of the S. Typhimurium DT193 isolate and from the IncI plasmid of the S. Enteritidis isolate. The plasmid was also characterized by conjugation and incompatibility grouping. Results: Two 10 kb multidrug resistance non-Salmonella Genomic Island 1 type clusters were indepen-dently identified in the S. Enteritidis plasmid and in the chromosome of the S. Typhimurium isolate. Detailed characterization identified an IP-type 2 integron containing a dfrA1-aadA1 gene cassette and other common resistance determinants derived from the RSF1010 plasmid. Conclusions: These multidrug resistance regions originate following chromosomal integration of key resistance markers encountered on plasmids circulating in other Salmonella serotypes. This mechanism of marker acquisition may have future implications for the evolution of similar structures in previously susceptible serotypes, leading to an increased public health risk
