Food irradiation is a process of exposing food to ionising radiation such as gamma rays emitted Stop Switch Wire from the radioisotopes 60Co and 137Cs, or high energy electrons and X-rays produced by machine sources.The use of ionising radiation to destroy harmful biological organisms in food is considered a safe, well proven process that has found

OBJECTIVES: This paper proposes imaging with 3-dimensional vibroacoustography for postoperatively assessing the uncovered cup area after total hip arthroplasty as a quantitative criterion to evaluate implant fixation.METHODS: A phantom Stop Switch Wire with a bone-like structure covered by a tissue-mimicking material was used to simulate a total hi

We introduce a simplified version of the soccer ball model (SBM) developed by Niedermeier et al (2014 Geophys.Res.Lett.http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058684 41 http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058684 ) into the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5).It is the first time that SBM is used in an atmospheric model to parameterize the heterogeneou

Background A rapidly growing body of research demonstrates that conspiratorial ideation is related to less accuracy, more overconfidence, and more reliance on intuition.Yet, the bulk of this research has focused on belief in conspiracy theories rather than conspiracy theorists.As such it remains unclear whether all conspiracy theorists are equally

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is expected to revolutionize the manufacturing process and business model and offer a significant competitive advantage.The Industry 4.0 Maturity Model (I4.0MM) is applied to guide organizations in I4.0 adoption.Nevertheless, most present models have certain limitations, including the absence of standardization, limited scope or
