Application of Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) for Quality Control of Swiss Cheese
Swiss-type cheese has many problems in its manufacturing. Split and variability are two most important problems in Swiss cheese. And traditional cheese grading is time consuming and costs a lot. The objective of this study was to find indicators for split formation and to show the sources of …

Evaluation of Flavor Variation in Swiss Cheese from Five Factories Using Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS), Descriptive Sensory Analysis, and Consumer Testing
Variation in Swiss cheese flavor is a problem in the Swiss cheese industry. The objective of this study is to identify the compounds and flavor attributes causing variation in Swiss cheese flavor by using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS), descriptive sensory analysis, and consumer …

A sytemic study of mining accident causality : an analysis of 91 mining accidents from a platinum mine in South Africa
… understanding of accidents at workplaces. The Swiss Cheese Model of accidents has proven to be a very efficient way of analysing industrial accidents. In this model, an accident is seen as a combination of unsafe acts by front line operators and latent conditions in the organization. The model …

A system theoretic safety analysis of U.S. Coast Guard aviation mishap involving CG-6505
… System (DOD HFACS) which is based on the 'Swiss Cheese' accident causal analysis model. Individual MAB results did not identify common causal or contributing factors that may be causing systemic failures within the aviation safety system. Subsequently, the Coast Guard completed a more …

The Paradox of Youth, Dark Matter Accretion and Void Models
… through its role in void models. Among them, the Swiss-Cheese Universe and central void models will be analysed in order to evaluate the impact of inhomogeneities on the determination of cosmological parameters. -- All three parts are similarly structured: conceptual introduction, analytical and …

The system theoretic accidental analysis of a crude unit refinery fire incident
… identification from the use of traditional Swiss cheese base accidental model compared to a structured system-based method. This thesis applies Prof. Leveson's System Theoretic Accident Model and Processes, STAMP-CAST, on a case study of the August 2012 Richmond Refinery fire involving a …

Developing system-based leading indicators for proactive risk management in the chemical processing industry
… that are mainly based on the concepts of the "Swiss Cheese Model" and the "Accident Pyramid." The current guidelines lack a systemic approach for developing process safety indicators; the guidelines view indicators as independent measures of the safety of a system (e.g. a failure of a barrier), …

A systemic study of mining accident causality: an analysis of 100 accidents from a copper mining company in Zambia
… industrial accidents has been proven by the Swiss Cheese Model, which is also applicable to this study. The Swiss Cheese Model describes an accident as an event which happen within organization due to the combination of different unsafe acts which may include latent conditions and front-line …

Digitizing a Three-Dimensional Brain Atlas: Image Sequence Alignment and Volumetric Encoding
… in atlas construction. The commonly existed Swiss-cheese type image defect is treated with wavelet-based method and long range correlation. An octree variant, scalable hyperspace file (SHSF), was developed to encode the volumetric data set. SHSF can facilitate volume accessing so that …

Manifold joins and jump conditions in general relativity
… apparent Universe - the prototype of this is the Swiss-Cheese model, used to study light transmission in an inhomogeneous Universe. Thirdly, discontinuities in the fundamental quantities in Relativity are of prime importance in the study of singularities and in particular, it is of prime …

Constructing trust in acute inpatient mental healthcare facilities : the role of physical, social and symbolic environments of care in supporting therapeutic safety
… were incorporated into James Reason’s (1995) Swiss Cheese Model of Accident Causation to illustrate how environments emphasizing surveillance and technical safety do not create therapeutically safe environments but introduce latent error, leading to patient harms such as violence, seclusion …

A Resilience Modelling Approach for Oil Terminal Operations Under High Uncertainties
… (1) the integration of Utility Theory and Swiss Cheese Model (UtiSch_+), to evaluate the relative importance of the identified hazard factors (HFs), (2) a Bayesian network (BN), to calculate the overall probability that a specific hazard is present and, (3) an Analytical Hierarchical …

Social patterns in knowledge evolution and health policy
… differential facets of social capital imply a Swiss cheese model of pandemic control planning where, e.g., institutional health and community health, provide partially overlapping behavioral benefits. Not only we looked at association patterns, but also we looked at the causal effects of …

Ultrasonic cutting of cheese and apples -- effect on quality attributes during storage
… the surface appearance and quality of selected cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese) and fresh cut apples (red delicious and golden delicious) during storage. To examine the effect of ultrasonic cutting on quality of cheese products, cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheeses were chosen …

Gel-based proteomic comparison of two strains of Propionibacterium freudenreichii ssp. shermanii
The literature review describes the characteristics, uses and probiotic potential of propionibacteria and gives an overview of proteomic methods focusing on 2-DE studies related to probiotic bacteria and P. freudenreichii. The aim of the experimental part was to use 2-DE to obtain proteome maps of …
