The calculated thickness of the adhered dismantled and examined. slag layer was appreciably lower than measured experimental values. Calculated horizontal slag Characteristics of glaze infiltration depths were in reasonable agreementThe following observations were made from examinations with values measured on plant, but measured of the specimens of refractory plus glaze: vertical infiltration depths were much lower than (i) the glaze thickness was 10-15 mm in the bottom calculated values.

Hazard analyses (which included watching operations, measuring temperatures of foods throughout preparation and display, and sampling and testing for microorganisms of concern) were conducted of vending operations at a railway and a bus station in a large city in Pakistan. Commonly prepared foods which were surveyed included: rice, pulses, chick peas, ground meat and potato mixtures, meat stew, and okra. Temperatures were measured and samples were collected from a variety of other foods. Large numbers (104–7) of Clostridium perfringens were isolated from samples of pulses, ground meat dishes, and chick peas collected during display, 8 to 10 h after cooking. Aerobic colony counts were also high in these and other foods that were held for several hours, unless hot, at temperatures >55°C throughout the holding periods or periodic reheating practiced (which was done by a few vendors). Cooking was usually thorough, but spores survived which germinated during the display period. High temperature holding or periodic reheating maintained safe foods, and hence, are critical control points for these operations. Education about these matters ought to be directed at health and transportation authorities, vendors, and the public.
Hazard analyses (which included watching operations, measuring temperatures of foods throughout preparation and display, and sampling and testing for microorganisms of concern) were conducted of vending operations of chicken, rice, pulse patties, and ice cream in a resort town in Pakistan. Salmonellae were isolated from ground meat, chicken flesh (from all operations surveyed), cutting boards, egg shells (eggs used in pulse patties), and buffalo milk (used for milk shakes). Greater than 105 coliform bacteria were isolated from raw milk, ice-cream mixes and products, and pulse-patty mix. Time-temperature exposure during cooking was adequate to kill salmonellae, but there were potentials for recontamination from cutting boards, knives, and hands of the vendor. Buffalo milk was held in a freezer and not boiled by the vendor as is usual in Pakistani homes to retard spoilage. Hence, because pathogens were not killed, milk shakes were a health risk. Pulse patties were not always thoroughly cooked, so pathogens could have survived. Holding stacks of them on a griddle for several hours would have allowed germination and growth of bacterial spores and growth of resulting cells. Health agency personnel in developing countries, vendors, and consumers of these foods need to be informed of the hazards and appropriate preventive measures.
N Annual publication rate N Geographical origin of the work N Nature of the research (e.g. thermodynamics, kinetics) N Nature of the slag studied.This study has revealed that slag research in the USA and Europe has decreased to about a half over the last 20 years and that there has been a significant decrease in Japanese research in this area in recent years. However, these decreases have been offset by significant increases in Chinese and Korean research activity. There has been a significant increase in the amount of work carried out on recycling and environmental aspects of slags in recent years.
A hazard analysis (which included watching operations, measuring temperatures of foods throughout preparation and display, and sampling and testing for microorganisms of concern) was conducted of a street vendor's operation. Chat is a popular dish in certain areas of Pakistan. It consists of sliced cooked potatoes, fried graham and pulse dough, and chick peas or red beans garnished with lasi (a fermented milk) and a fruit syrup. Staphylococci reached the cooked potatoes during peeling, cutting, and other handling. These bacteria increased up to 105 while the contaminated foods were held for several hours. Counts up to 105 Bacillus cereus were isolated from the cooked doughs after a 6-h or longer holding period. Large numbers (usually >105) of coliform bacteria and aerobic mesophilic colonies (106–9) were isolated from all foods after handling and holding for several hours. Ingestion of these foods must be considered high risk unless handling of cooked items can be kept to a minimum and the time of holding reduced to less than 6 h. Critical control points are handling after cooking and holding on display. Health agency personnel in developing countries, vendors, and consumers of these foods need to be informed of the hazards and appropriate preventive measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
