A Public Health Response to Street-Based Prostitution

Street sex workers face a number of closely interrelated and mutually exacerbating challenges that jeopardize their physical, mental and emotional health. A review of the literature shows that women engaged in street-based prostitution are at significant risk for STI and HIV infection, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, physical and sexual assault, and homelessness. Addressing any of these issues in isolation is not sufficient to improve the health and safety of these women. The purpose of this paper is to examine the concurrent issues that street sex workers experience, explore why this is an issue that the public health field needs to be involved in, and discuss what would be necessary to create effective interventions to meet these closely intertwined needs.Master of Public Healt

Lipid oxidation in mayonnaise and the role of natural antioxidants: a review

Background Mayonnaise, a high-oil containing product, is susceptible to oxidation resulting in quality deterioration and the formation of undesirable components such as free radicals and reactive aldehydes. A better understanding of the factors affecting lipid oxidation and ways of retarding oxidation in mayonnaise is essential in order to improve the shelf-life of mayonnaise. Scope and approach This review presents up-to-date knowledge on the factors affecting lipid oxidation and strategies to retard lipid oxidation in mayonnaise, with an emphasis on natural antioxidants, and application to other similar emulsions. Eliminating possible factors, which will reduce the induction period and hasten rancidity, can increase the shelf life of mayonnaise but one of the most effective means of retarding lipid oxidation in mayonnaise is to incorporate antioxidants. Due to the negative effects and perceptions of synthetic antioxidants, there has been a growing interest in improving oxidative stability of food products with natural ingredients. Therefore, to provide a better base for food engineers to design an effective natural antioxidant system for mayonnaise, in this review the emphasis is given to using natural antioxidants in mayonnaise. Key findings and conclusion Recent studies showed that incorporation of natural antioxidants in mayonnaise could increase its oxidative stability. However, natural antioxidants may exert a negative effect on sensory properties and further studies are needed to identify, quantify and overcome this problem. Manipulating the interfacial layer of the oil droplet also shows promise for retarding oxidation; however, there is a lack of literature addressing this area

Online Monitoring Technical Basis and Analysis Framework for Large Power Transformers; Interim Report for FY 2012

The Light Water Reactor Sustainability program at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is actively conducting research to develop and demonstrate online monitoring (OLM) capabilities for active components in existing Nuclear Power Plants. A pilot project is currently underway to apply OLM to Generator Step-Up Transformers (GSUs) and Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs). INL and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) are working jointly to implement the pilot project. The EPRI Fleet-Wide Prognostic and Health Management (FW-PHM) Software Suite will be used to implement monitoring in conjunction with utility partners: the Shearon Harris Nuclear Generating Station (owned by Duke Energy for GSUs, and Braidwood Generating Station (owned by Exelon Corporation) for EDGs. This report presents monitoring techniques, fault signatures, and diagnostic and prognostic models for GSUs. GSUs are main transformers that are directly connected to generators, stepping up the voltage from the generator output voltage to the highest transmission voltages for supplying electricity to the transmission grid. Technical experts from Shearon Harris are assisting INL and EPRI in identifying critical faults and defining fault signatures associated with each fault. The resulting diagnostic models will be implemented in the FW-PHM Software Suite and tested using data from Shearon-Harris. Parallel research on EDGs is being conducted, and will be reported in an interim report during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013
