The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of fortification of soymilk with standardized milk for the production of fortified nutritive milk formulation. The functional properties of cattle milk can be enhanced by blending of soy milk. The soymilk was obtained by using standard procedure by grinding soaked seeds of soybean with hot water (bean to water ratio, 1: 4 w/v). In the present study three formulations of soy and standardized milk were prepared as follows T<sub>1</sub> (100% soymilk), T<sub>2</sub> (50% soymilk: 50% standardized milk), T<sub>3</sub> (60% soymilk: 40% standardized milk), and T<sub>4</sub> (70% soymilk: 30% standardized milk) and Control as T<sub>0</sub> (standardized milk). The changes in physico-chemical, sensory and rheological properties were recorded. The results revealed that overall organoleptic acceptability scores of formulated milks formulations were 6.9, 8.06, 7.65, 7.04 and 8.49 for the formulation T<sub>1</sub>, T<sub>2</sub>, T<sub>3</sub>, T<sub>4</sub> and T<sub>0</sub>, respectively. Fat, total solids, titratable acidity, pH, ash and solid non fat content were decreased with increasing soymilk proportion, while moisture and protein content were increased. The blending of different ratio of soymilk with standardized milk had significant affect on colour attributes (L*, a* and b*). Yellowness and greenness increased while lightness decreased as the proportion of soymilk increased.

Gas turbine-based power plants generate a significant portion of world’s electricity. This paper presents the modeling of a gas turbine-based cogeneration cycle. One of the reasons for the relatively low efficiency of a single gas turbine cycle is the waste of high-grade energy at its exhaust stream. In order to recover this wasted energy, steam and/or hot water can be cogenerated to improve the cycle efficiency. In this work, a cogeneration power plant is introduced to use this wasted energy to produce superheated steam for industrial processes. The cogeneration system model was developed based on the data from the Whitby cogeneration power plant in ASPEN PLUS®. The model was validated against the operational data of the existing power plant. The electrical and total (both electrical and thermal) efficiencies were around 40% and 70% (LHV), respectively. It is shown that cogenerating electricity and steam not only significantly improve the general efficiency of the cycle but it can also recover the output and efficiency losses of the gas turbine as a result of high ambient temperature by generating more superheated steam. Furthermore, this work shows that the model could capture the operation of the systems with an acceptable accuracy.

Water use for antimicrobial intervention application for beef harvest has come under increased scrutiny in recent years in an effort to enhance water conservation during beef harvest and fabrication. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of beef safety interventions for reducing surrogates of the Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) on beef cuts while lowering intervention-purposed water use for a Small or Very Small beef establishment. Beef briskets, shoulder/clods, and rounds were inoculated with a gelatin-based slurry containing 6.8±0.3 log CFU/g non-pathogenic E. coli . After 30 min of attachment, inoculated cuts were treated by: conventional lactic acid spray (LA; 2.5%, 55°C), lactic acid spray delivered by an electrostatic spray handheld wand (ESS; 2.5%, 55°C), hot water spray (HW; 82°C), recycled hot water spray (RW; 82°C) wherein previously applied hot water was collected, thermally pasteurized to 82°C, or left untreated (CON). 100 mL of each treatment was sprayed onto marked surfaces of inoculated cuts, after which surviving surrogate E. coli were enumerated. LA and ESS treatments produced greater reductions (1.0-1.1 log CFU/300 cm 2 ) versus hot water interventions (0.3-0.5 log CFU/300 cm 2 ) ( p =&lt;0.0001). Recycling of water reduced water losses by no less than 45% on RW-treated beef cuts. Low water beef safety interventions offer Small and Very Small inspected beef establishments opportunities to incrementally reduce water use during intervention application, but not necessarily without loss of pathogen reduction efficacy.

If an atom bomb is detonated in an aquifer, superheated steam will be produced, giving rise to a pressure front in the capillaries. The high‐pressure vapor will force the neighboring fluid through capillary channels generating streaming electric potentials which we have called the thermotelluric potentials. In this note a preliminary study is made of the pressure front transient and a nonlinear differential equation is obtained. This equation can be solved, if necessary, numerically by difference methods utilizing a digital computer. However, instead some experiments were performed and the streaming potential was measured on a few very porous and permeable sandstones. The order of magnitude of the signal to be generated by such phenomenon is estimated using the experimental data, and some assumptions. It appears that in some cases the signal superimposed on the natural telluric field might be above the noise level. Thermo‐telluric potentials should also be present during an igneous intrusion and during the diffusion of hot water in geysers, etc. The possible use of the phenomenon of thermo‐telluric potentials in the study of underground geological activities is intriguing.
