Aspects of modelling variability of single cell lag time for Cronobacter spp. after exposure to sublethal heat treatment in normal and stressful environments by Xu, Yizhi

“…The growth profiles of five strains of Cronobacter spp. at low temperature (4 oC to 8 oC) and their thermal resistance to mild heat treatment (48 oC to 50 oC) were investigated with a view to developing a model to predict lag times of individual cells, using a strain with a relatively high thermotolerance and able to grow well at refrigeration temperature (7 oC). The effect of heat stress (49 oC for 7 min) and subsequent recovery temperatures (7 oC to 22 oC) on the individual cellular lag times of one strain of Cronobacter turicensis were analysed using optical density measurements. …”

The association between the housing structure and continued breastfeeding in two Southern African countries by Khanyile, Ntuthuko, McLaren, Shawn, Fairbrother, Una

“…Duration of breastfeeding (months) was the outcome variable and the number of rooms used for sleeping, place of dwelling, whether the household has a refrigerator and early initiation of breastfeeding were used as predictor variables. …”
