Abstract:
Vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide (VPHP) was used to disinfect prunes. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution (35%, wt/wt) was volatilized into a stream of dried air to approximately 3.1 mg/l (wt/vol) of hydrogen peroxide. Dried prunes obtained from commercial dehydrators were treated with VPHP and compared to untreated prunes. Microbial populations were determined for treatment comparisons. Untreated dried prune microbial populations were 155, 107, and 111 CFU/g of prunes on aerobic plate count agar, potato dextrose agar, and dichloran rose bengal agar, respectively. In contrast, VPHP-treated prune microbial populations were reduced to near zero on all media after 10 minutes of VPHP exposure. The color of prunes exposed for 20 min or longer, however, showed oxidation damage. No hydrogen peroxide residues were detected 90 days after treatment.

Abstract:
In order to expand the range of flour confectionary for healthy nutrition, documentation on new gingerbread products with increased food value was developed in 2017-2018. They are Prune gingerbread (kovrizhka) and gingerbread (pryanik) "Zabava", "Fantaziya", "Vdokhnovenie". The nutrition value of new gingerbread products is defined by the content of medium rye flour, sunflower oil, prunes, dried apricots, cocoa powder which enrich the products with many micronutrients necessary for a human body such as food fibers, mineral substances, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Prune gingerbread exceeds the production analog (Tula gingerbread) in the content of food fibers (3.6%), vitamin E (2.9 mg%) and vitamin B1 (0.11 mg%) by 2.25; 4.1 and 1.37 times, respectively. It also has more mineral substances (K, P, Ca, Mg, Fe) in comparison with the control - 2.0; 1.3; 1.4; 2.4; 1.4 times, respectively. Energy value of Prune gingerbread is 8.8% lower than that of the production analog (Tula gingerbread). In 100 grams of Prune gingerbread and gingerbreads "Zabava", "Fantaziya", "Vdokhnovenie" there are from 2.9 to 4.0 g of polyunsaturated linoleic acid that satisfy the minimum body need a day. Gingerbreads "Zabava", "Fantaziya", "Vdokhnovenie" exceed the production analog (gingerbreads “Festivalnye”) in the content of mineral substances (K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe) in total – by 46.4; 98.4; 45.0%, respectively; in food fibers – by 1.7-2.2 times; in vitamin E – by 1.9-2.0 times. New gingerbread products are functional as they contain 26.4-36.4% of average daily body need in PUFA and 29.0-37.0% of vitamin E. Gingerbreads 'Zabava' and 'Fantaziya' contain respectively 17.0 and 20.0% of average daily body need in food fibers and 15.7% – in iron.

Abstract:
AbstractThe relation of hand-harvesting cost in plum and prune production to the total costs amounts to 25-40%. Mechanical harvesting makes it possible to cut drastically both the harvesting and total costs. To test the suitability of plum and prune species to be mechanically harvested, an experimental grove (area 0.8 ha) was established in 2008. Three plum cultivars and one prune cultivar grafted on semi-dwarf and vigorous rootstocks were planted at high density (1250; 1666; 2500 trees·ha−1). During the span of full yielding (2012-2014), fruits were harvested mechanically with a canopy contact, straddle harvester in continuous motion, designed at the Institute of Horticulture in Skierniewice, to harvest tart cherry, and later adapted to harvesting plums and prunes. Trees grafted on semi-dwarf rootstock (‘Wangenheim Prune’) appeared to be more suitable for mechanical harvesting than strong-growing trees grafted onPrunus cerasiferaclone ‘Myrobalan’. Cumulative yield per ha (years 2012-2014) was the highest at the highest planting density. Trees grafted on the semi-dwarf rootstock had a higher productivity index than trees grafted on the vigorous rootstock. There was no significant difference in fruit quality related to planting distance. Mechanical harvesting was nearly 40 times more efficient than hand picking. The efficiency of mechanical harvest was from 85% to 90%. Over 5% of fruits were lost on the ground and from 1 to 5% of fruits were left on the tree. Up to 18% of the plums and no more than 10% of the prunes harvested mechanically showed some damage. They can be fully acceptable for processing, for up to 10 days, providing the potential deterioration processes are inhibited by cold storage. The large-fruited cultivars seem to be more susceptible to bruising than the small-fruited ones. For the latter, the share of marketable quality fruits within the mechanically harvested crop amounted to about 80%, which could be a good prognostic justifying further trials on the prune harvester.

Abstract:
Constipation is a common public health concern experienced by all individuals during their life affecting the quality of life. In this paper, we aimed to provide an overview of the existing evidence regarding the role of food ingredients, including bran, prune, fig, kiwifruit, and flax-seed in constipation treatment. We searched Scopus, Pub Med, and Science Direct by using the keywords, “laxative foods” and “constipation”, for searching studies assessing laxative food ingredients and their beneficial effects on constipation treatment and/or control. Lifestyle modifications such as increasing dietary fiber and fluid intake and daily exercise are the proposed first line treatments for constipation. Optimizing ‘diet’ as an efficient lifestyle factor may contribute to the well-being of patients. The use of laxative food ingredients including bran, prune, fig, kiwifruit, flax-seed, probiotics, and prebiotics is a convenient alternative to cope with constipation. According to previous findings, laxative food ingredients could be considered as effective treatments for subjects suffering from constipation. Many studies have assessed the pharmacological and non-pharmacological roles of these ingredients in treating constipation, however, their importance has not been thoroughly investigated.

Abstract:
Abstract A collaborative study was conducted to validate a method to determine the Insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) contents of foods and food products by using a combination of enzymatic and gravimetric procedures. The method was basically the same as that for determining total dietary fiber, which was adopted as final action by AOAC and further modified to Include changes in the concentration of buffer and base and substitution of hydrochloric acid for phosphoric acid. Thirty-nine collaborators were each sent 7 test samples In a staggered design for duplicate blind analysis. They were also sent a standard containing 4.3-5.4% IDF and 1.5-2.7% SDF. The 22 foods that were analyzed for IDF and SDF were cabbage, carrots, French beans, kidney beans, butter beans, okra, onions, parsley, chick peas, brussels sprouts, barley, rye flour, turnips, soy bran, wheat germ, raisins, Callmyrna figs, prune powder, Black Mission figs, apple powder, peach powder, and apricot powder. Both IDF and SDF values were calculated as the weight of residue minus the weight of protein and ash reported on a dry weight basis. The reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSDR) of the IDF results ranged from 3.68 to 19.44% for the foods analyzed; almost half the test samples had an RSDR <10%. The RSDR values for the SDF results were somewhat higher. Approximately 50% of the foods analyzed had an RSDR >20%, and 45% had an RSDR between 10 and 20%. An RSDR approaching 45% was calculated for the 2 test samples with the lowest SDF content, 1.35 and 1.90%. Raisins and prune powder had high RSDR values for both SDF and IDF. A major reason for high RSDR values seems to be filtration problems, which are avoidable by analyzing 0.5-0.25 g test samples. The method for the determination of SDF requires further study, but the method for the determination of IDF was adopted first action by AOAC International.

Abstract:
This study examines rural household food security and its determinants in drought-prone Amhara Region of Ethiopia by focusing on Lay Gaint district as a case study site. A range of factors from physical environmental circumstances to policy and institutions-related issues determine households‟ vulnerability to food insecurity and livelihood outcomes. The survey results showed that the majority (74%) of the sampled households experienced food insecurity. The situation was worse among female-headed households such that 86% of them were food insecure. The study revealed that, despite the low level of productivity related to local environmental constraints, rural livelihoods remain undiversified with small scale rain-fed agriculture to provide the primary source of livelihood for the large majority of households (~93% of respondents). Only about 25% of the respondents participated in some form of non-farm or off-farm activities, but with only little contribution to their total annual incomes. Food insecurity is a chronic problem in that, on average, households in the study area consume from own production for only about six months. The study found out that the majority of households (about 80%) perceived annual rainfall to be inadequate to support the growing of crops and grazing of animals. The main adaptive strategies employed by the majority of households included diversifying livestock kept, planting trees and diversifying crops. The study revealed that incidence, depth and severity of food insecurity of the food insecure households showed that Woina-Dega and Kolla agro-ecologies are prone to vulnerability to food insecurity. This suggests that development interventions that are geographically differentiated; and build household assets will improve household food security in the study area, and in other similar environments in the country.

Abstract Following an overview of agricultural sector performance, climate change, and variability in Uganda, this chapter presents a study examining the food security effects of weather shocks by gender in the country. The results show that the incidence of food insecurity increases with an increase in all measures of weather shocks (drought, floods, and irregular rains). In addition, the findings reveal that female-headed households are more vulnerable to climate change than male-headed households and hence are most likely to suffer from food insecurity. The results also show that refugees and rural households are more prone to food insecurity than national- and urban-based households.

Abstract:
AbstractRecent studies in biology, ecology, and medicine make it clear that relationships between living organisms are complex and comprise different forms of collaboration and communication in particular in getting food. It turns even out that relations of collaboration and valuing are more important than those of aggression and predation. I will outline the ways organisms select and value specific items in their network of living and non-living entities. No organism eats everything; all organisms prefer certain foods, companions, and habitats. Relations between organisms are established on the basis of communication, exchange of signs, actions and goods, through mutual learning processes on all levels of life. Micro, meso and macro organisms participate in this process of valuing and communication. Animals and plants therefore show features that were traditionally attributed only to humans, like selfless assistance. The usual distinction between humans and other living beings on the basis of human’s sensitivity for altruism, language and values crumbles down due to the circumstance that also non-human living beings are prone to selfless assistance, communication and valuing.

Abstract:
AbstractAnimals, like human beings, are prone to suffering harms, such as disease, injury and death, as a result of anthropogenic and natural disasters. Animals are disproportionately prone to risk and adversely affected by disasters, and thus require humane and respectful care when disasters strike, due to socially situated vulnerabilities based on how human communities assess and value their moral standing and function. The inability to integrate animals into disaster risk and management practices and processes can sometimes be associated with a lack of understanding about what animal ethics and animal health and welfare require when designing disaster management programs. This chapter seeks to reimagine human responsibility towards animals for disaster management. The pervasiveness of disasters and their impacts on animals, human-animal and animal-environment relationships underscore the importance of effective animal disaster management supported by sound ethical decision-making processes. To this end, we delineate six ethically responsible animal caretaking aims for consideration when developing disaster management plans and policies. These aims, which address central vulnerabilities experienced by domesticated animals during disasters, are meant to be action-guiding within the disaster management context. They include: (1) Save lives and mitigate harm; (2) Protect animal welfare and respect animals’ experiences; (3) Observe, recognize and promote distributive justice; (4) Advance public involvement; (5) Empower caregivers, guardians, owners and community members; (6) Bolster public health and veterinary community professionalism, including engagement in multidisciplinary teams and applied scientific developments. To bring about these aims, we offer a set of practical and straightforward action steps for animal caregivers and disaster management teams to ensure that animals’ interests are systematically promoted in disaster management. They include: (1) Respect and humane treatment; (2) Collaboration and effective disaster communication; (3) Strengthening systems of information sharing, surveillance, scientific research, management and training; (4) Community outreach and proactive contact; (5) Cultural sensitivity and attitudes check, and (6) Reflection, review and reform.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Stunting is a condition where the height index according to age is below -2 SD based on World Health Organization standard. Children under five are one of the age groups who are prone to experiencing nutritional problems and diseases. In 2019, the most common nutritional problems for children under five at Gunung Labu Community Health Center were stunting (27.12%). Nutritional problems in farmers can occur because of the poverty factor which is the root of the nutrition problem. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between household food security, feeding pattern, and household income with the incidence of stunting among children under five. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional was conducted at Gunung Labu Community Health Center, Kerinci Regency, Jambi, in February-March 2020. The study subjects were 98 children under five from farmer families. Data were carried out using height measurement and questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The prevalence of stunting among children under five was 32.34%. There was a relationship between household food security, feeding pattern, and stunting in children under five, and they were statistically significant. While, household income not related with the incidence of stunting, and it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Stunting incidence among children under five is associate with household food security and feeding pattern among farmer families.

Abstract:
An investment firm located in Peru has partnered with Western New England University to develop a novel, motorcycle mounted fast food delivery system for international markets. The project afforded students the opportunity to work on an international product development team, exposing them to the design requirements and constraints of international customers and companies. The often damp and cool climate in many countries makes food prone to becoming soggy during delivery as the moisture escaping from the hot food quickly fills the food containers and delivery box mounted to the back of the motorcycle, saturating the food. Delivery times, often in excess of 45 minutes, can also cause the food to become cold, resulting in decreased customer satisfaction, product returns and lost business. The project was conducted over a three year period using nine mechanical engineering students. The project began in 2014 when a team of two students was tasked with developing a benchtop method of keeping food hot and preventing it from becoming soggy while being delivered. They determined that the use of ceramic heaters and small fans effectively kept the food warm and dry. In 2015, two teams of two students competed to develop a box design with integrated heaters and fans which could be powered using an alternator mounted to a delivery motorcycle. While effective fans and heating elements were found, it was decided that the mounting of an additional alternator was cumbersome and motorcycle dependent, rendering the concept poorly suited for field installations. In 2016 another team of two students integrated a hand-made lithium ion Battery pack and two 300W ceramic heaters and computer fans into a production delivery box. While the system maintained food quality for up to 50 minutes, the battery pack was unable to reliably provide the required power to the system. Finally, in the fall of 2016, a student improved this design by improving the heater and fan performance while adding urethane insulation into the box. Temperature was controlled using a commercially available thermistor, and all components were integrated into a retrofit kit which could be installed by a technician in the field.

Abstract:
It is estimated that the global population will reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050 and 66% of the world population will live in urban areas. This growth in cities creates demand for fresh products to maintain a healthy population, a product that often exposed to a long journey to reach the consumer, not only losing quality and nutritive value in the process, but also requiring a significant cost of fossil fuel for transportation and storage. However, the world’s agricultural land among being limited, is also facing major problems such as pollution, salinization and drought that do not favor crop production. The need for food security has paved the way for landless agriculture, becoming more popular in the urban area and becoming a part of urban farming. This article aims to examine hydroponic technologies to help expand the knowledge of their application in terms of science, origin, dynamics and farming systems. Among the benefits of soilless cultures; reservation of cultivated land for main crops; saving at least 90% of irrigation water; use of almost constant amount of recycled water; successfully growing almost every vegetable crops and having highest productivity compared to conventional agriculture. Therefore, it is an indispensable solution in areas where arable land is not available or in saline-prone areas, in short, wherever there is competition for land and water. The purpose of this study is an overview of soilless farming systems, explaining the most widely used hydroponic system, the importance of water quality, nutrient content, grown crops and ultimately cost benefit in terms of economics.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present an effective method to craft text adversarial samples, revealing one important yet underestimated fact that DNN-based text classifiers are also prone to adversarial sample attack. Specifically, confronted with different adversarial scenarios, the text items that are important for classification are identified by computing the cost gradients of the input (white-box attack) or generating a series of occluded test samples (black-box attack). Based on these items, we design three perturbation strategies, namely insertion, modification, and removal, to generate adversarial samples. The experiment results show that the adversarial samples generated by our method can successfully fool both state-of-the-art character-level and word-level DNN-based text classifiers. The adversarial samples can be perturbed to any desirable classes without compromising their utilities. At the same time, the introduced perturbation is difficult to be perceived.

Abstract:
The successful Naval use of the TF50 and TF40 variants as high horsepower power plants has demonstrated a high degree of utility. Engineering analysis has shown that aspects of their design could be improved to increase reliability and increase platform availability while reducing the cost of ownership. As each year passes, electronic systems that can be housed in the current form factor improve in both reliability and capability. With that in mind, TES have developed a field replaceable, foot print and pin compatible upgrade to the existing FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronic Control). The upgraded unit has all of the capabilities of the old unit with many enhancements. The enhancements include: full rate diagnostics with user controlled viewers, modular design, removal of maintenance prone components, improved statistical analysis, and the ability to extend data collection. The result of these enhancements will not only improve FADEC reliability but will also allow improved engine prognostics and health monitoring.

Abstract:
Many energy pipelines traverse hilly and mountainous terrains that are prone to landslides and other geohazards. The mapping, identification, and monitoring of geohazards along pipeline right-of-ways are essential in effectively managing the risks they may pose to pipeline integrity and human safety. One approach to monitoring potential geohazards is to use space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). SAR is an effective and proven technology used to monitor ground surface change over vast areas and can be used in a cost-efficient manner, especially in areas that are remote or challenging. This paper focuses on aspects of a novel three-fold approach for monitoring geohazards using satellite radar imagery. This is accomplished by combining interferometric SAR (InSAR), automated amplitude change detection, and polarimetric change detection. The resulting analyses are to be merged into a new geohazard index map that will provide a simplified overview of the change influence for given pipeline segments over an extensive area. It is anticipated that the geohazard index map would be used to support operator decision-making in proactively mitigating the potential adverse effects identified. A brief introduction to the methodologies employed and a discussion of the validation that is currently underway as a joint project between MDA Geospatial Services and Southern California Gas Company is provided by this paper.

Abstract:
Synthetic dyes are widely used in textile, printing, leather tanning, cosmetic, drug and food processing industries. The printing and dyeing industry is considered as one of the most polluting industrial sectors. The printing process is very versatile and includes printing on paper as well as printing on textile, plastic and other materials. After the printing process is completed, various chemicals such as ethers, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, benzene, and esters are used in the cleaning procedure. Resulting wastewater often contains a variety of solvents, surfactants, dyes, and other chemicals, thus greatly increasing the difficulty of wastewater treatment. Improper discharge of printing and dyeing wastewater into water bodies will have several effect, beginning with aesthetical issues followed by destruction of the aqueous ecosystem due to light attenuation, oxygen consumption and toxicity effects. Therefore, it is very important to find out and optimize printing and dying wastewater treatment techniques. Processes for dye removal from wastewater can be physical, chemical, biological and more recently hybrid treatments. Physical processes such as adsorption, based on mass transfer mechanism, are commonly used method mainly due to ease of operation and high efficiency. Chemical processes including coagulation and flocculation, advanced oxidation processes and electrochemical treatment are usually more expensive due t chemicals use, equipment requirements and electrical energy consumption. However, these techniques are destructive and may lead to total mineralization of dye molecules and accompanying pollutants. Biological treatment is a low-cost and environmentally friendly process that produces less sludge. This method has significant advantages but dye molecules are less prone to this kind of treatment as they are made to be stable and reluctant. So, the adjustment and optimization of biological treatment, for dye removal, is an ongoing field of research. In recent studies hybrid processes are gaining more attention, combining different techniques. Integrating treatments, as a cost-saving and time-saving process, can represent optimal solution for printing wastewater treatment.

Abstract:
Abstract The ability to predict the response of a drill bit to the topside axial and rotational velocities of the drill-string is a prerequisite for any system aimed at automatically controlling the drilling parameters to optimize the rate of penetration and the overall quality of the well construction process. When drilling with a Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) bit, even the steady-state response can exhibit complex behavior, characterized by the presence of (at least) three different regimes whose range and parameters depend upon the bit characteristics and the mechanical properties of the formations being drilled. Transient effects significantly complicate the situation, especially when vibrations (axial, rotational or lateral) disturb the drilling process. Often, the root cause of these vibrations lies in the bit-rock interaction itself, while the drill string, through its elasticity and interaction with the borehole wall, may amplify or attenuate these vibrations. Therefore, continuous calibration of the drill string and bit-rock parameters from available surface and downhole measurements is critical for any automated control system relying on dynamic models of the drilling process. We present a calibration procedure whose goal is two-fold: first, to identify the time-varying parameters involved in the bit-rock interaction, and second, to provide a low-order, transfer function model approximation of the drill string axial and rotational dynamics. Our approach is based on particle filter techniques and a refined instrumental variable method for transfer function model estimation, and allows for real-time estimation of the various model parameters. We illustrate its behavior against recorded drilling data, where the proposed methods are shown to capture the different dynamics in place. We explain, in addition, how the calibrated drill string and bit-rock interaction models can be integrated in a framework to identify drilling parameter regions prone to axial or rotational vibrations.

Abstract:
Safety assurance of railway tracks is an important task because defects on the railway track may cause trains to be derailed. Unfortunately, there are many fatal train crashes reported in Turkey, Spain and India caused by derailment of the trains. Besides the fatalities, derailment of the trains causes significant economic losses, delay of the timetables and discomfort. Manually investigating the railway tracks are substantially time consuming and expensive. In addition to this, it is human dependent so that the task is prone to error, which may end up without noticing important defects. In this study, a robust and economical method, which automates the investigation of railway tracks, is proposed. The proposed method scans the railway track by a high-resolution optic camera mounted on an UAV. Obtained optic images of the railway track are georeferenced by automatically extracting the Ground Control Points (GCP). The railway track is extracted from the optic image by edge detection. Afterward, any defect on the railway track such as missing bolt or damage on the sleepers and any impropriety of ballasts can be detected by performing image analysis techniques. Advantages of the optic system are its lightweight, higher georeferencing accuracy, and low power consumption. Sony HX300 DSLR camera with 20.4 MP resolution is calibrated on the ground and optical images are obtained at similar imaging geometry. For this reason, flight altitude is fixed as 12 foot above the railway track. The optical camera is mounted on quadcopter, which has 6 kg of maximum take-off weight. The system is tested in Pittsburgh and satisfactory initial test results are obtained. Consequently, site tests showed that the proposed robust and economic system is a good candidate to be implemented for monitoring the railway tracks.
