1. INTRODUCTION Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy is an effective method of analyzing the intricate electrical resistance of a process and it is sensitive to surface phenomena and changes in the bulk properties. Thus it plays a major role in electrochemical research. It has been diligently used for the interpretation of corrosion mechanisms and in the characterisation of charge transport over the membrane. In the area of biosensors, it is especially appropriate for the detection of…

Bacterial Meningitis Meningitis is an infection that affects meninges, membrane coverings of the brain and spinal cord. Due to Bacterial meningitis’ close proximity to the brain and spinal cord it is potentially life threatening. If not treated promptly it may lead to life-long complications such as deafness, epilepsy, hydrocephalus and cognitive deficits. Bacterial meningitis is contagious and prolonged close contact can spread the bacteria that cause meningitis. The bacteria can spread from…

014). For that, Myrter and Castle Cheese employees should not be held accountable for adding cellulose, when it is perfectly allowed by the FDA. As for the Listeria issue, in this case, all the blame should not fall into the hands Michelle Myrter. For example, the FDA sent inspectors to Castle Cheese, the inspectors found Listeria on their property (Beach, C. 2016). The FDA states that Castle Cheese continued to manufacture fake and real cheese products from March 22, 2012, through November 9,…

In an effort to defend themselves, many organisms in the macroscopic world have developed lightning-fast reflexes, sharp claws, or clenchable fists. Animals use their adaptations to help them survive in nature. In the microscopic world, however, organisms such as bacteria and fungi do not have the ability to ward off enemies with brute force, so they have to produce chemical defenses. In the case of fungi, specifically the Penicillium genus, their chemical defenses are against bacteria, in the…

Ben and Jerry’s ice cream started as two guys serving ice cream in a converted gas station, but today the ice cream company distributes its ice cream products internationally through grocery stores, franchisees, and grocery delivery services. The ice cream maker has two production facilities, both in Vermont. The Ben and Jerry’s headquarters is in Waterbury, VT. This is where tourists and ice cream fans can take tours of how the ice cream is made. The second facility is much larger and located…

The main advantage of eating pasteurized cheeses is simply that it is healthier for you to consume than unpasteurized cheeses. This is because during the pasteurization process, when the milk is heated to between one-hundred-and-forty to one-hundred-and-fifty degrees Fahrenheit and then cooled to fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit, any pathogens like harmful bacteria in the milk are killed. You are less at risk of contracting salmonella and E.Coli if you consume pasteurized cheeses. However, though…

especially if people are dying from it. In the article “Food Sickens MIllions,” I read about a man named Mr.Beach who died from listeria which could have been prevented if the food was checked properly. Mr. Beach died a day before the health agency alerted the Federal CDC that people were getting listeriosis from food (Armour et al.). Mr. Beach was one of 35 People that died from listeria. All these deaths could have been prevented if the food was inspected properly (Armour et al.). In the…
