MICROORGANISM IDENTIFICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANING EFFECTIVENESS IN RADIOLOGY SETTINGS: CROSS-SECTIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES

Microorganism identification and environmental cleaning effectiveness in radiology settings: cross-sectional and experimental studies

Introduction: Despite the large number of patients passing through and some invasive procedures, radiology may still be considered unlikely to transmit pathogens.However, radiation protection aprons touched by radiology professionals and shared between patients could be prone to contamination.Our goals were to (1) assess qualitatively and quantitat

Aerosol Shock Tube Designed for Ignition Delay Time Measurements of Low-Vapor-Pressure Fuels and Auto-Ignition Flow-Field Visualization

An aerosol shock tube has been developed for measuring the ignition delay times (tig) of aerosol mixtures of low-vapor-pressure fuels and for visualization of the auto-ignition flow-field.The aerosol mixture was formed in a premixing tank through an atomizing nozzle.Condensation and adsorption of suspended droplets were not observed significantly i

Host plant flooding stress in soybeans differentially impacts avirulent and virulent soybean aphid (Aphis glycines) biotypes

Abstract Insect herbivore evolution is tightly linked to changes in their host plants.Many plants have defensive traits that enable them to naturally tolerate and/or deter insect herbivory (host plant resistance; HPR).Some insects have adapted to overcome or resist these defenses (virulence).Global climate change may exacerbate insect virulence, al
