Antimicrobial applications of treatments using light pulses emitted from light emitting diodes (LED)
DownloadSpring 2022
Low water activity (aw) foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls. Eradication of foodborne microorganisms like Salmonella and Escherichia coli from low aw foods is challenging, as they are resistant to conventional decontamination practices. High intensity light...

One of the central puzzles concerning the interaction of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) fluid transport with bacterial biomass is the formation of filamentous structures called bacterial streamer. Bacterial streamers can be tethered at one or both ends to solid surfaces, while the rest of the...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that forms chronic biofilm infections in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. A major component of the biofilm during these infections is the exopolysaccharide alginate, which is synthesized at the inner membrane as a homopolymer of 1–4-linked...

We study the evolution of chaotic mixing in an initially stratified circular vessel. The bottom and top halves of the vessel are filled with viscoplastic and Newtonian fluids. A circular stirrer in the vessel promotes the mixing. We considered three different viscosity ratios to understand the...

Determination of biokinetic parameters of wastewater biofilms from oxygen concentration profiles
DownloadFall 2011
The process of scale-up and rational optimization of biofilm processes for effective wastewater treatment and reuse require better understanding of the biokinetic behavior of microorganisms in the biofilms. At present, no fast and accurate methods exist for determining kinetic parameters for...

Efficacy of conventional and novel antimicrobial treatments on the inactivation of desiccated cells and biofilms of Salmonella
DownloadSpring 2024
Repeated isolation of Salmonella from the dry and wet environments of the food industry poses a significant concern to human health. It is crucial to understand the influence of the various environmental conditions on Salmonella’s survival. The overall objective of this research was to evaluate...

Recently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been used in many monitoring applications, e.g., environment monitoring. A WSN consists of a set of nodes, each having one or more sensors to measure a phenomena. Nodes are connected to each other using wireless radio communications. Typically, there...
