Efficacy of conventional growth dependent methods to determine pulsed-light lethality kinetic data: a review
(Elsevier, 2015-07)The purpose of this timely review is to critically appraise and to assess the potential significance of best-published microbial inactivation kinetic data generated by pulsed light (PL). The importance of selecting different ... -
Inactivation of parasite transmission stages: efficacy of treatments on food of animal origin
(Elsevier, 2019-01)One third of parasitic outbreaks with known source in the US are attributable to food of animal origin (FoAO). Among 24 foodborne parasites ranked by FAO/WHO, 14 are associated with FoAO. Management of these biological ... -
Irish staff nurses perceptions of clinical incident reporting
(Academic Journals, 2011-02)Clinical incident reporting identifies actual and potential risks to patient safety and then eliminates those risks through a system of procedural changes, policy enactment or changes in staff education. This constitutes ... -
Efficacy of using harmless Bacillus endospores as novel surrogate organisms to indicate the inactivation performance of recalcitrant cryptosporidium parvus oocysts suspended in water using pulsed IV light
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2013-06)The need to use complex in vitro cell culture, expensive equipment and highly-trained technicians that are available only to specialist laboratories has significantly limited studies assessing the potential of pulsed UV ... -
Monitoring, sources, receptors, and control measures for three European Union watch list substances of emerging concern in receiving waters - a 20 year systematic review
(Elsevier, 2017-01)Pollution of European receiving waters with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), such as with 17-beta-estradiol (a natural estrogenic hormone, E2), along with pharmaceutically-active compounds diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory ... -
Occurrence and geodatabase mapping of three contaminants of emerging concern in receiving water and at effluent from waste water treatment plants - a first overview of the situation in the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2018-03)This constitutes the first study to address occurrence and geodatabase mapping of the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCL) and the natural (17-beta-estradiol or E2) and synthetic (17-alpha-ethynylestradiol or EE2) ... -
Pulsed-plasma gas-discharge inactivation of microbial pathogens in chilled poultry wash water.
(International Association for Food Protection, 2007-12)A pulsed-plasma gas-discharge (PPGD) system was developed for the novel decontamination of chilled poultry washwater. Treatment of poultry wash water in the plasma generation chamber for up to 24 s at 4C reduced Escherichia ... -
Emergence of Bacillus Cereus as a dominant organism in Irish retailed powdered infant formulae (PIF) when reconstituted and stored under abuse conditions
(Wiley, 2010-05-25)One hundred powdered infant formulae (PIF), representative of the 10 leading brands available in Ireland, were subjected to a variety of preparation and storage conditions. All PIF analyzed immediately after reconstitution were ...
