Analisis Strategi Penerapan Sistem Manajemen Keamanan Pangan HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) Di PT. Sierad Produce Tbk. Parung
Quality and safety food products problem was usually after thought in the food industry development issues, accordance with the consumer\u27s desirability that understand the importance of product quality and food safety. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) certification is one way for company to implementing food safety. Sierad Produce Corp. at this moment has obtained HACCP certificate to produce chicken carcasses.But the implementation need to be controlled, as the case of foodborne illness and foodborne disease can occur easily if not properly controlled. The main objective of this research is to develop the best strategy to implement HACCP and to maintain the food safety quality system at Sierad Produce Corp. The information and data that has been collected within this research were covering both the primary and secondary data based on the date of September 2012 to December 2012. The methods used in this research are descriptive analysis, Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE), External Factor Evaluation (EFE), Internal External (IE), Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat (SWOT) and Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP). Based on this research, the best strategy for implementing HACCP and sustain the system on Sierad Produce are Critical Control Points (CCP) evaluation and improvement of production room
Agreement of pyrotags assigned as functional bacteria among RDP classifier, BH and LCA methods.
<p>The inner, middle and outer rings are corresponded to the remediators, operational groups and potential pathogens, respectively. The percentages in the pies are the ratios of pyrotags assigned by all the three methods to total tags. Higher shared tag portions and percentage of assigned pyrotags suggested higher efficiencies of the variable regions.</p
Evaluation of taxonomic precision of RDP Classifier for the moderately abundant genera by referring to Best-Hit and the lowest common ancestor methods.

Shifts in the Microbial Community, Nitrifiers and Denitrifiers in the Biofilm in a Full-scale Rotating Biological Contactor
The objective of this study was to
investigate the microbial community
shifts, especially nitrifiers and denitrifiers, in the biofilm of
two rotating biological contactor (RBC) trains with different running
times along the plug flowpath. The microbial consortia were profiled
using multiple approaches, including 454 high-throughput sequencing
of the V3âV4 region of 16S rRNA gene, clone libraries, and
quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The results demonstrated
that (1) the overall microbial community at different locations had
distinct patterns, that is, there were similar microbial communities
at the beginnings of the two RBC trains and completely different populations
at the ends of the two RBC trains; (2) nitrifiers, including ammonia-oxidizing
archaea (AOA), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB, <i>Nitrosomonas</i>) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB, <i>Nitrospira</i>), increased in relative abundance in the biofilm along the flowpath,
whereas denitrifiers (<i>Rhodanobacter, Paracoccus</i>, <i>Thauera</i>, and <i>Azoarcus</i>) markedly decreased;
(3) the AOA were subdominant to the AOB in all sampled sections; and
(4) strong ecological associations were shown among different bacteria.
Overall, the results of this study provided more comprehensive information
regarding the biofilm community composition and assemblies in full-scale
RBCs
The consistencies between the RDP-classifier and other two methods under different confidence thresholds for different multi-variable regions.
<p>Raw results from RDP classifier were filtered with different confidence thresholds by a Python script, and then compared with the other two methods through another script. The percentages of consistently classified tags were increased with more strict thresholds, while the solely classified tags showed the opposite trend.</p
Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Solid Nitromethane Impact on (010) Surfaces Induced and Nonimpact Thermal Decomposition
Which is the first step in the decomposition process
of nitromethane is a controversial issue, proton dissociation or CâN
bond scission. We applied reactive force field (ReaxFF) molecular
dynamics to probe the initial decomposition mechanisms of nitromethane.
By comparing the impact on (010) surfaces and without impact (only
heating) for nitromethane simulations, we found that proton dissociation
is the first step of the pyrolysis of nitromethane, and the CâN
bond decomposes in the same time scale as in impact simulations, but
in the nonimpact simulation, CâN bond dissociation takes place
at a later time. At the end of these simulations, a large number of
clusters are formed. By analyzing the trajectories, we discussed the
role of the hydrogen bond in the initial process of nitromethane decompositions,
the intermediates observed in the early time of the simulations, and
the formation of clusters that consisted of CâNâCâN
chain/ring structures
List of functional groups in activated sludge.
<p>a. Genus names with single quote marks were candidate genera that could not be classified by RDP classifier. They are kept in the final database.</p><p>b. The first number indicates the sequences that could be identically classified in RDP at genus level (except for the candidate genera) and thus are kept in the final database. The second is the number of total downloaded sequences from Greengenes database. Percentage showed the portion of identically classified sequences.</p
Percentages of pyrotags identified as concerned genera for various multi-variable-regions by three methods.
<p>The cluster among columns was based on the mean Bray-Curtis distances calculated by the percentages of each genus to total pyrotags. The outer, meddle and inner rings are corresponding to remediators, operational group and potential pathogens.</p
[pt] UM FRAMEWORK PARA GERAĂĂO DE SPLITS BINĂRIOS EM ĂRVORES DE DECISĂO
<div><p>Autotrophic CO<sub>2</sub> fixation is the most important biotransformation process in the biosphere. Research focusing on the diversity and distribution of relevant autotrophs is significant to our comprehension of the biosphere. In this study, a draft genome of a bacterium from candidate phylum SBR1093 was reconstructed with the metagenome of an industrial activated sludge. Based on comparative genomics, this autotrophy may occur via a newly discovered carbon fixation path, the hydroxypropionate-hydroxybutyrate (HPHB) cycle, which was demonstrated in a previous work to be uniquely possessed by some genera from <i>Archaea</i>. This bacterium possesses all of the thirteen enzymes required for the HPHB cycle; these enzymes share 30âŒ50% identity with those in the autotrophic species of <i>Archaea</i> that undergo the HPHB cycle and 30âŒ80% identity with the corresponding enzymes of the mixotrophic species within <i>Bradyrhizobiaceae</i>. Thus, this bacterium might have an autotrophic growth mode in certain conditions. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene reveals that the phylotypes within candidate phylum SBR1093 are primarily clustered into 5 clades with a shallow branching pattern. This bacterium is clustered with phylotypes from organically contaminated environments, implying a demand for organics in heterotrophic metabolism. Considering the types of regulators, such as FnR, Fur, and ArsR, this bacterium might be a facultative aerobic mixotroph with potential multi-antibiotic and heavy metal resistances. This is the first report on <i>Bacteria</i> that may perform potential carbon fixation via the HPHB cycle, thus may expand our knowledge of the distribution and importance of the HPHB cycle in the biosphere.</p></div
