Rapid serotype-independent differential detection of biofilm-positive and biofilm-negative Salmonella using Fourier transform infrared biotyping by Asmita Shrestha, Smriti Shringi, Devendra H. Shah

“…Foodborne illnesses caused by Salmonella represent a global one health challenge, with biofilm-forming strains exhibiting enhanced public health risks due to their ability to persist due to resistance to antimicrobial agents, disinfectants, and environmental stresses. While food-safety and public health investigation primarily focus on Salmonella identification and source tracing, they often overlook the biofilm-forming capacity of isolates, limiting their predictive value for risks posed by biofilm producing Salmonella. …”

Optimising ice flow law parameters using borehole deformation measurements and numerical modelling by David Chandler, Bryn Hubbard, Alun Hubbard, Tavi Murray, David Rippin

“…Results suggest that a linear rheology dominated by diffusion creep (n = 1) is more appropriate for modelling ice flow in this relatively thin (generally <80 m thick) glacier than the conventional n = 3, and that ELZ is ∼2. For n = 1, the predicted ice crystal size and value of ELZ are both consistent with measurements made on ice cores recovered from the glacier, providing independent support for the optimization technique and the linear creep model.…”

STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS OF OIL FIELDS IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE VOLGA-URAL ANTECLISE by S. Yu. Kolodyazhny, A. I. Nekrasov

“…The proposed structural-dynamic model and ideas about compression – decompression regularities of hydrocarbon redistribution in the shear zones can be used for prediction and detection of new deposits. In particular, the dynamic analogues of the Arlan oil field in the east part of the SK zone can be found within the poorly studied western flank of this zone.…”
