Do you think that OSHA serves a valued objective today?  Or should industry manage its own affairs without this type of regulation? Are there parts of OSHA that need improvement?

Abstract: On December 7, 2000, the Cincinnati OSHA Office heard through the media and through police reports that two fatalities had occurred at a nursing home in Bellbrook, Ohio. An OSHA compliance officer was sent up to the site to begin to determine what had gone wrong, whether or not there was occupational exposure to a hazard, and if OSHA should play a lead, supporting or no role in investigating this tragedy. The conclusion was reached that OSHA should not play a lead role in this investigation because the exposures and the deaths occurred only to patients, not to employees, of the nursing home. This determination was made as FDA was actively investigating the incident and taking a lead role in performing an investigation. The nursing home routinely ordered and received large compressed gas cylinders, or tanks, containing pure oxygen, for consumption by some of their residents, such as emphysema patients, who have unhealthy respiratory systems. Their supplier, BOC Gases,…

Why is there a need to study about the conversion of waste to value added products? What is its significance to the people and the environment? Please justify.

Why are there two bands in the first lane and only one band in the second lane?

The American Heart Association and other health organizations have concluded that consumers should get their antioxidants from foods rather than supplements. They add that taking supplements may even be harmful. Supplement manufacturers claim that such statements are unfair and that their natural botanical extracts provide numerous health benefits. In fact, some suggest that beneficial effects can only be achieved by taking high-dose supplements. Given that there are currently no DRI defining the kinds of antioxidants or the daily quantities needed, how might you ensure a healthy intake of antioxidants? If you decide to take an antioxidant supplement, how might you research the product to determine its safety and effectiveness?

Xylanase is a class of hydrolyase enzymes that can break down hemicellulose into fermentable sugars. Xylanase is widely used in the pulp and paper industry for chlorine-free enzymatic bleaching of wood pulp. Besides that, xylanase is also applied in several industries like feed, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages. At the industrial scale, xylanases are mainly produced by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. 1. Solid-state fermentation and submerged fermentation are the two major techniques applied in the production of xylanase enzymes. Outline how the xylanase enzymes are produced using these two techniques. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of these two techniques. 2. Select a suitable microorganism and substrate that could be applied to produce xylanase enzymes economically at industrial scale via the submerged fermentation techniques with justifications.
