ACETATE DIFFERENTIAL AGAR. Medium used for the differentiation of Shigella from E. coli and non-fermentative gram-negative bacilli. ... is used to test the ability of an organism to use acetate as the sole source of carbon. ... Typical cultures of Shigella are unable to use acetate and fail to grow. Therefore, the medium remains unchanged. The majority of Escherichia coli grow well within 24-48 hours, but some strains grow more slowly and may give a false negative reaction if results are observed at 24-48 hours only. 3, record 1, English, - acetate%20differential%20agar

Transport correction. Much of the error due to the diffusion approximation comes from the assumption of isotopic scattering.(This assumption is necessary to reach the simple form of the integral transport [and] was also made to establish Fick's law when we assume that when a neutron leaving dV had probability d2 omega/4[ pi] of hitting dS where d2 omega was the solid angle under which dS is seen from the point of emission). The transport correction established from the differential form of the transport operator can compensate for most of this error. Because it is simple to introduce, it is always used in practice. It consists of replacing the total cross-section [sigma] with the so-called “transport” cross-section in the expression for the diffusion of the coefficient. 1, record 8, English, - %20transport%20correction

Correction de transport. Éliminer [oméga] des équations est évidemment une simplification incontestable! Mais a-t-on le droit de supposer que les neutrons sortent des collisions de façon isotrope? Ce n’est évidemment pas exact en toute rigueur, mais on constate qu’en général l’erreur due à cette hypothèse est peu importante, surtout si l’on fait une correction dite de transport consistant à remplacer la section efficace totale [oméga indice t], par la section efficace de transport […] 1, record 8, French, - correction%20de%20transport

Altering the composition of the gaseous environment which a food product contacts reduces the rate of microbiological growth and enzymatic action, reduces the rate of oxidation, and also retards the loss of product water content through respiration of differential water-vapor pressure.... Controlled atmosphere packaging(CAP) means actually controlling the total gaseous environment the product experiences. In commercial practice, it usually means lowering the oxygen and raising the CO2 and assuring that O2 does not diminish to extinction while the respiratory gases are swept out. Controlled atmosphere packaging implies constant control over all gases : O2, CO2, H2O, and ethylene and other trace gases. 4, record 9, English, - controlled%20atmosphere%20packaging
