Analysis of safety indicators for poultry products produced in subsidiary farms in penitentiary facilities

The production of poultry, eggs and their processed products is growing rapidly worldwide. Poultry products are in great demand; however, they are a source of a number of risks: physical, chemical, as well as microbiological. Ensuring food safety is currently the main aspect for the global food industry, including for the production of poultry products. The article discusses the safety and quality of poultry products produced in subsidiary farms of correctional facilities of the penal system. Attention is drawn to the risks and threats of sanitary and epidemiological well-being that arise in connection with the intensification of the impact of negative environmental factors. In the subsidiary farms of correctional facilities, the cage-type bird keeping system and the frequency of feeding are regulated depending on the age of the bird. The results of the analysis have shown that poultry and chicken eggs comply with established sanitary standards. Thus, the average heavy metal content in poultry meat was: Hg - 0.0061 mg kg-1 , Cd - 0.0233 mg kg-1, As - 0.0501 mg kg-1, Pb - 0.1765 mg kg-1; in the egg: Hg - 0.0072 mg kg-1 , Cd - 0.0198 mg kg-1, As - 0.0485 mg kg-1, Pb - 0.1812 mg kg-1. Antibiotics, radionuclides and dioxins were not found in poultry meat. The pesticide content in poultry meat was below the permissible level: by 2.2 times of DTM and its metabolites, and hexachlorocyclohexane (a, b, g - isomers) - by 5 times. Coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus, as well as pathogenic salmonella, listeria were not found in poultry meat and eggs. NMAFAnM in meat amounted to 0.5×104 , in the egg - 1×103 CFU g-1 incl. In general, poultry products produced in correctional facilities are of high enough quality and can be used to prepare various dishes not only for adults but also for baby food. These estimates allow us to conclude about a fairly high level of quality and safety of this product

The change of surface wind in the north Western Siberia since 1966

The statistical analysis of near-surface wind characteristics has been performed in the territory of the North of Western Siberia. The conclusion on wind speed decrease of different intensity for different directions and increase of calmness frequency is made. The maximum changes in wind speed are observed in winter and summer seasons, in transitional seasons these values are lower. The most intensive changes in wind direction frequency occur in summer; the less intensive ones are typical for winter

Big data analytics for continuous assessment of astronaut health risk and its application to human-in-the-loop (HITL) related aerospace

© 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved. The man-instrumentation-equipment-vehicle-environment ecosystem is complex in aerospace missions. Health status of the individual has important implications on decision making and performance that should be factored into assessments for probability of success/risk of failure both in offline and real-time models. To date probabilistic models have not considered the dynamic nature of health status. Big Data analytics is enabling new forms of analytics to assess health status in real-time. There is great potential to integrate dynamic health status information with platforms assessing risk and the probability of success for dynamic individualized real-time probabilistic predictive risk assessment. In this research we present an approach utilizing Big Data analytics to enable continuous assessment of astronaut health risk and show its implications for integration with HITL related aerospace mission

On Sound Reflection in Superfluid

We consider reflection of the first and the second sound waves by a rigid flat wall in superfluid. Nontrivial dependence of the reflection coefficients on the angle of incidence is obtained. Sound conversion is predicted at slanted incidence.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
