A comparison was made of the recovery of Salmonella species from brewers' yeast, dried active yeast, onion powder and soy flour after preenrichment of samples under rapid (swirling) and slow (soaking) conditions of rehydration. The soak method gave improved recovery only with soy flour. Examination of soy flour by the soak method should be limited to 25-g amounts, however, since 100- and 375-g composites were not completely wetted.

Dilute povidone-iodine (polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine [PVP-I]) irrigation in spine surgery and total joint arthroplasty has seen a rapid and substantial increase in its use during the past decade. Yet, most surgeons do not know the chemistry and biochemistry that explain its efficacy in preventing infections. PVP-I forms a complex with molecular iodine (I2), facilitating the delivery of I2 to the membrane of the infectious organism.

Purpose: To compare the biomechanical performance of a suture with proposed dynamic self-tensioning properties with that of commonly used high-tensile sutures by evaluating suture loop length changes, responses to cyclic loading, and failure testing with intermittent saline soaks.
Methods: Six knots each of 4 different sutures were studied: 3 high-tensile sutures (ORTHOCORD, FiberWire, and ETHIBOND), and a dynamically self-tensioning suture (DYNACORD). After we measured loop length, knots were soaked in 37°C saline for 24 hours.

As a pre-fermentative practice, cold may facilitate the extraction of grape compounds, resulting in differentiated wines. To explore the potential of these practices, extensive research has been conducted on scientific publications since 2004. There are four main ways to apply cold in pre-fermentative practices: ice wine production, berry freezing, cold maceration of grape must, and cryoconcentration of grape must.

Extracellular matrix sponge plays a positive role in the wound healing process, but requires proper structural strength and biological properties. In order to solve the problem of lyophilized dissolution of placenta-derived sponge, glutaraldehyde was selected for use in the lyophilized crosslinking process to improve the necessary mechanical properties of the placental decellularization matrix sponge. In this work, the effects of three cross-linking methods of glutaraldehyde (Fumigation/Slurry/Soak) on the physical and biological characteristics of lyophilised sponges derived from placental acellular matrix was investigated.

A large amount of heat accumulates in the engine bay for a short time after the engine runs at high load and shuts down, that will lead to thermal damage and thermal fatigue caused by the temperature rise of some heat sensitive components. This paper uses an aero-thermal coupling approach to study the heat transfer problem in the engine bay of an SUV model under thermal soak conditions. Due to the transient characteristics of the heat transfer process, the natural transient CFD software developed based on the LBM method is used to study the engine bay heat transfer during the 400 s key-off soak process.
