Ready-to-eat lettuce is a food commodity prone to contamination by pathogenic microorganisms if processing and distribution conditions as well as handling practices are not effective. A challenge testing protocol was applied to ready-to-eat iceberg-lettuce samples by inoculating different initial contamination levels (4.5, 3.5 and 2.5logcfu/g) of Escherichia coli strain (serotype O158:H23) subsequently...
This paper focuses on the application of risk-based models to cogeneration system planning in the presence of uncertainties. Starting from the electrical and thermal load patterns, and the electricity and gas prices for a reference year, the uncertain variables for the successive years of analysis (demand and energy prices) are represented by using average values and covariance matrices, taking into...
Ideally, planning and managing the design and development of complex systems should: 1) consider the entire lifecycle (design, development, testing, integration, deployment, operation and decommissioning). 2) Take risk and reliability into account, as well as more traditional measures such as cost and performance, when making tradeoff decisions. A key enabler to all of the above is the ability to...
