Products produced by an agricultural chemical company, bloated in their product containers due to microbial fermentation. Products and their components were tested for the presence of microbes, with Pseudomonas spp. and Enterbacter spp. the most prevalent.

Hydrogen peroxide, six antibiotics (Vancomycin, Ampicillin, Doxycline, Ciprofloxacin, Streptomycin, and Gentamicin) and two preservatives (Proxel BN and Proxel GXL) at various concentrations were examined to determine their disinfection efficacy against Pseudomonas stutzeri and Enterobacter gergoviae. The results suggest that hydrogen peroxide, and the two preservatives were …

I am looking at how the media coverage portrayed the events of Easter Week 1916 both in their immediate aftermath and during the Centenary celebrations that recently occurred. I am investigating this to determine if the more recent interpretations of what happened over romanticize the events that took place or if they provide the proper weight to events that are the first steps toward the birth of a modern nation free of colonial domination. To do this I plan to look at newspaper accounts from the period, both from …
