and tough times as many see it as affordable. In 2014 GEA’s strongest growth region was Western Europe followed by North America. In terms of countries, USA had the strongest sales followed by China. Due to increase in sales in USA and China sale transactions in various currencies increases exposure to fluctuations in the foreign currency rate which could result in lower revenues and expenses derived from sales in foreign currencies. Majority of GEA’s products are manufactured in Germany as well…

become a problem that has substantial costs, causing United States losing billions in tax receipts each year. It is not an easy task to stop this “both the US and European nations are working toward a system where asset information and bank transactions are automatically recorded and duly shared” (Horowitz, 2015, p.1); countries need to continue working together to stop this trend. The policy would be about how to choose clients who want to open account in the bank. First, I would wisely…

of Mechanical Engineers, 2013), so, the increase of food production is important to combat that issue. However, before that, food loss reduction is essential in order to avoid excessive costs and save money for governments and companies. All food processing, from the harvest of crops to their arrival on supermarket, involves many stages that can minimize its wastage. Some measures include improvement of technologies during the cultivation, management, storage…

A trip to Georgia, the grocery shop, and the Washington hotel were the key events that drove Michael Moss’s motivation to educate the media on the food industry with his bestseller, Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us. In his work, Moss attempts to simulate the impact the events had on him so that readers can make their own food changes and think differently from the fabricated information food industries give off. His simulation consists of a mixture of cold hard facts and…

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a nonthermal technology that has been recently adopted by the food industry with the perspective of expansion into new markets and products. The potential of maintaining the nutritional, sensory, and functional quality while inactivating deteriorative microorganisms and enzymes turns this technology very appropriate for matching the increasing consumer demand for healthier and safer products. High pressure in many applications has little or no effect on…

The Jungle During the 1880-1910 times, a lot of tragic events occurred relating to urbanization, industrialization, and immigration. Workplace safety, treatment of immigrants, and child labor were events that changed America as a whole the worst way possible. Numerous of areas in the United States were settled as a trading post and transportation routes. As the industries and technology improved, cities in America became the center of products. Cities grew in populations and in size. Countries…

The Omnivore’s Dilemma, written by Michael Pollan, and published in 2009 made quite an impact on the food industry and nearly everybody who so happened to read it. The book details what happens behind closed doors of supermarkets, how the food is made, how the animals soon to be meat are handled and treated, and asks the question, how do we know if what we’re eating really is healthy? Chapter 8 of the book: The Modern Omnivore, highlights this question, among others, especially what we’ve been…

Engineering Design Project: “Bread Maker” Introduction to the Project Parker (2017) claims that bread makers are highly controversial kitchen units. Most critics declare that the loaves produced by the existing commercially available brands often resemble self-kneaded bread. Notwithstanding, this appliances tend to cut down considerable effort and time needed to produce a sufficient quantity of home-made loaves. Worth noting, the pieces of bread produced are cheaper than those sold in commercial…

E-number food additives, their chemistry and role in food Since the dawn of time, humans had using several simpler and yet natural food preservation techniques such as preserving meat using salt, or immersing onions and cucumber in a jar of vinegar to keep the food fresh and last longer. The method of preserving food had been evolved over a significant period of time. (Heldman, 2003) Food additives are either a natural or synthetic substances which was added intentionally to food to improve the…

\chapter{Multiview Geometry} This chapter deals with the camera models, projection of scene into image plane and two view geometry. \section{Pin Hole Camera Model} A camera is a mapping between the 3D world (object space) and a 2D image. The principal camera of interest in this thesis is central projection. This describes about Pin Hole camera model which are matrices with particular properties that represent the camera mapping.\\ \begin{figure}[h] \includegraphics[scale =…
