...3 Basic plate count techniques for the enumeration of microorganisms 3.1 Introduction Most of the recommendations and guidelines contained in this chapter are taken from American Public Health Association (APHA), as described in the Chapter 6 of the 4th Edition of the Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods (Swanson et al., 2001). When different from or complementary to those of the Compendium, they were complemented with information and recommendations from ISO 6887-1:1999 and ISO 7218:2007, recommended for performing tests using methods developed by the International Organization for Standardization. Microbiological examination of foods is predominantly based on culturing techniques, to detect and enumerate living microorganisms. In view of the huge variety and multiplicity of groups, genera and species that may be present, a great number of tests are used, and which can be of one of two types: qualitative tests, which are aimed at detecting the presence or absence of the target microorganism(s), without quantifying, and quantitative tests which determine the quantity of the target microorganism(s) in the sample, generally per unit of weight or volume. Each of these tests follow differentiated procedures, which in turn depend on the target microorganism(s), but most of them utilize the same basic microbiological culturing techniques. These techniques are the detection of presence/absence (Chapter 5), the Most-Probable-Number counts (MPN)...

...of the Filtration Unit, Peter Vyas, asks for $ 2 million to launch RIMOS, that from my point of view is the right thing to do. He should handle the expenditure request by stressing all the improvements that his team has been able to bring to the mini-oxidation system (in terms of design, functioning, sustainability and efficiency). Moreover he should underline the increased probability of success given by the first-mover advantage that is obtainable in the new specified market (U.S. regions with governmental restrictions for irrigation). Vyas knows that he’s facing a critical decision, but he’s confident that his project is going into the right direction and that is necessary to go forward for the survival of the division and to recover full trust. In order to obtain the additional $ 2 million funds, he needs to satisfy Cynthia Jackson’s request, adding specific data about costs, sales and targets, so that the business plan will be clearer. To convince the vice-president, Vyas should demonstrate how the additional investment could be useful to implement the project, for example: an increase of $ 2 million in advertising expenditures, will educate customers to the new technology and will help people understand how their lives will be simplified by RIMOS, with a consequent increase in demand. Cynthia Jackson, vice-president of ART’s Water Management Division, has to decide on the commercialization of the mini-oxidation system, compromising the survival of the Filtration Unit....

...cream mix supply company called Eastern Dairy. George is working at Eastern Dairy for the summer and he works the night shift. The night shift is unsupervised and ran by 4 or 5 assembly workers. George has gotten along with all his fellow employees and together they have formed quite the comradery. Paul, one of the assembly workers on the night shift, has become somewhat of a self elected supervisor of the shift. All of the employees of the night shift get along very well and enjoy their time together thoroughly which has allowed George to really enjoy his time at work. One night they are faced with a problem regarding the filtration of the mix. All the filters are getting clogged up due to a bad batch of mix filled with maggots. Now, the employees can either repeatedly unclog the filters and reattach them over and over until all the mix has completed the filtration process or they can remove all the filters and allow the maggots to stay in the mix until it has gone through the homogenizer and the pasteurization process, which according to Paul will “Pulverize” all solid matter and destroy any bacteria. The issue with constantly removing, unclogging and reattaching the filters is that it will slow down the filtering process so much that George and his fellow employees will have to stay past the end of their sift. Paul advises George to take the filters out so that they all can get home after their shift but George does not feel comfortable doing so. This leaves George with a difficult...

...Opportunity: The Applied Research Technologies’ general manager, Peter Vyas alongside his team tried to launch the Filtration Unit Program twice but failed. Peter still managed to rebuild a low morale and a high turnover Unit selecting entrepreneurial minded people and the team was awarded two million dollars to finish their project. He ensured that it is a success after all their unsuccessful attempts it faced. They would at least for the first time celebrate a great innovation and achievement that is designed to help a lot of people both in developed and developing countries. Business and management strategy: first of all, they have to implement steps that would enable the plan to accommodate the two million dollar funding from the division for RIMOS. Secondly, the unit needs to go through extensive testing to pick out any possible flaws before it tries to launch the product for the third time. The unit should ask for assistance from its other IT specialists in other divisions within the organization to conceptualize if they can come up with the perfect product. Management venture, stage, and industry: The management exemplified a team that was right for this venture. Peter Vyas possessed knowledge by realizing the need and purpose for this project. Although, he had experienced two failed junctures in hopes of introducing the RIMOS idea but he was determined to resolved the kinks which contributed to his previous failures. Despite the pressure and uncertainty of his job depending...

...about the availability of clean drinking water and contaminants entering their water supply. Through our research we have found that although there are many ways to solve these issues it is imperative that we design a solution that is cost effective, sustainable and easily maintainable by the local villagers. The villagers of Devikulam have raised the issues of saline water, lack of constant supply of water due to power shortages, poor condition of taps and bacteria in the water supply. The poor conditions of the taps and plumbing, has been rectified in July 2010 (Buzza, 2011). The concern of bacteria within the water supply, we believe, is the most pressing issue that needs to be resolved. As a group we each collected data on different filtration options looking at ease of use and maintenance, power requirements, costs, if the process will remove the bacteria that are present in the Devikulam water supply, availability of materials and the life expectancy of each process. This data was collated into a trade-off analysis template and the criteria was weighted from most important requirements i.e. the removal of the bacteria to the least important. This template then calculated the best options for the village from the information we entered. Due to the simplicity but effectiveness, slow sand...

...10/3/12 “Judge Lifts Ban on U.S. Sales of Samsung Tablet,” The Wall Street Journal, 10/2/2012 This article is concerned with a patent law matter. After she had issued a preliminary injunction in June requiring Samsung to halt sales of its Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Judge Lucy Koh lifted the ban on Monday. Koh had based the injunction on the Samsung’s likely violation of Apple’s tablet design patent. The jury found Samsung in violation of six other patents, but the tablet design patent, which was the basis for the injunction, was not one of them. The jury reached a verdict in August, but Samsung simultaneously asked for the injunction to be lifted and appealed the case, which created a question of who had jurisdiction to lift the injunction. On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that Koh could decide on whether or not to lift the injunction. This ruling is the latest significant event in an ongoing legal patent war between Samsung and Apple. Both sides have filed posttrial motions, which Koh will rule on in December. Apple is seeking a higher reward for the patent infringement damages and a permanent ban on the sale of infringing products, while Samsung is looking to eliminate the reward and the sales ban altogether. Although the temporary ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was lifted, a posttrial ban that Apple is seeking could still ban sales of the device because the jury did find that it infringed on some of Apple’s patents – just not the tablet design patent which...

...Application Software Application software, also known as an "app", is computer software designed to help the user to perform specific tasks. Application software is contrasted with system software and middleware, which manage and integrate a computer's capabilities, but typically do not directly apply them in the performance of tasks that benefit the user. The system software serves the application, which in turn serves the user. Application software is usually designed for end users and most are user friendly. Application software applies the power of a particular computing platform or system software to a particular purpose. There are many ways to obtain application software including paid commercial software, shareware, freeware, and rental ware. Commercial software is copyrighted and if you don’t pay for it, you can be prosecuted. Shareware is also copyrighted but available for free download with a requirement t pay as you use it. Freeware is copyrighted and available free with no further requirements. Rental ware is copyrighted and can be leased for a fee. Application software itself is divided into five categories. Entertainment software Entertainment software is usually known as video games or PC game and even mobile gaming on smart phones. Personal computer games are an electronic game that involves personal interaction with an interface to generate visual feedback on a monitor or other screen.
