The dual purpose of the proposed modelling approach is not only to classify beef samples in the respective quality class (i.e. fresh, semi-fresh and spoiled), but also to predict their associated microbiological population directly from FTIR spectra.
Air samples collected from multiple aircraft over San Antonio, Texas, in 1965 revealed a stable microbiological population at high altitudes (3,127 m), and indicated that microbial abundance was heavily influenced by temperature inversions and frontal activity (surface and atmospheric turbulence) (Fulton 1966a, 1966b).
According to a 2003 study financed by Beef Products, the trimmings "typically includes most of the material from the outer surfaces of the carcass" and contains "larger microbiological populations".
Instrumentation was selected to measure matrix flow, geochemistry of pore water and drainage, gas-phase O2 concentration, temperature evolution, microbiological populations, waste rock permeability to air, and thermal conductivity, as well as to resolve mass and flow balances.
Natural transformation promotes the spread of genes, including those related to antibiotic resistance and virulence among microbiological populations.
Seasonal differences may, at least in part, be due to changes in ambient temperature, which can affect microbiological populations and therefore the efficacy of biological treatments and/or high rainfall, which can result in dilution of influent to the WwTW and a reduced retention time through the works.
It was concluded that supplementation of DSCY to zebu steers did not affect the intake, digestibility and microbiological rumen populations.
The microbiological ITT (MITT) population was the subset of the ITT population who had at least one Gram-negative pathogen identified on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or mini-BAL at a density >104 CFU/mL with an imipenem MIC <8 μg/mL.
Clinical and microbiologically evaluable population (CME): the population clinically evaluable in whom microbiological tests (blood and urine cultures where applicable) at the indicated follow-up visits were performed.
In the MITT population, microbiological success was 80.0% (32/40) in patients with anidulafungin-susceptible isolates and 81.1% (30/37) of those with voriconazole-susceptible isolates; the respective proportions for clinical success were 75.0% (30/40) and 75.7% (28/37).
First, overall clinical success analysis was performed on the ITT and CE populations; second, microbiological success was analysed for the microbiologically evaluable population; third, AEs were analysed for the ITT population.
