To examine the association between ambulatory activity (AA), body composition measures and hip or knee joint replacement (JR) due to osteoarthritis.At baseline, 1082 community-dwelling older-adults aged 50–80 years were studied. AA was measured objectively using pedometer and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The incidence of primary (first-time) JR was determined by data linkage...
A decontamination trial on the effectiveness of hot water or acidified sodium chlorite (SANOVA™) treatment on Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Total Viable Count (TVC) was undertaken on pork carcases prior to primary chilling in two large pork abattoirs in Australia using belly‐strip excision sampling. A total of 123 samples from Abattoir A and 400 samples from Abattoir B were cultured and analysed...
Control system coordination in today's manufacturing facilities is crucial to achieve performance objectives. Cement facilities daily consumption can exceed 15,000 tones limestone rock, 1,100 tones of coal, and 1 Gig watt-hour electrical demand. With huge facilities the equipment availability becomes a key indicator to overall facility performance. Control systems need to help production and maintenance...
Cement producers have faced a significant rise in energy costs with the introduction of dry-process kilns, with a record average consumption of 100-200 kwh per ton of cement (The Cement Plant Operations Handbook, 2009*). This complex challenge, coupled with rising fuel and energy costs, has prompted cement manufacturers to implement energy management programs to help reduce costs while maintaining...
The opportunity to develop a real life IEC 61850 [1] GOOSE [2] application arose during the initial stages of substation refurbishment projects. Existing software based interlocking systems were identified as having to be replaced. This paper details the development of the solution and replacement strategy. It is not the intention to describe interlocking rules.
