On the morning of 6th October 2002 the French tanker LIMBURG (299,364 DWT) suffered an explosion and fire as she approached the SBM at the Ash Shihr terminal in Yemen. Initially the cause of the explosion and subsequent fire was unclear but it is now considered likely to have been the result of a terrorist attack. Damage was sustained to No. 4 Starboard tank, which at the time contained some

A leaking oil tanker split in two and sank Tuesday off Spain's northwestern coast, spewing thousands of tonnes of fuel oil into the sea and adding to a growing environmental disaster along one of Europe's most picturesque and wildlife-rich coasts. The two halves of the 26-year-old single-skinned vessel went down in deep

‘Genetically modified food’ has become the object of a heated debate by con￾sumer activists and replaced irradiation’s leading role as a target. In this debate the term irradiation is frequently confused with radioactive contamination, espe￾cially after the Chernobyl accident. The allegation is made that the nuclear indus￾try needs food irradiation badly in order to find some use for the waste from

Generally, the effects of microwave energy can be classified as either ‘macro￾scopic’ or ‘microscopic’. When the energy is used for heating food the effect is macroscopic and results in a specific heating pattern. However, the causes of certain features are due to microscopic effects, i.e. to physics at the atomic level

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) may be defined as ‘the enclosure of food products in gas-barrier materials, in which the gaseous environment has been changed’ (Young et al, 1988). Because of its substantial shelf-life extending effect, MAP has been one of the most significant and innovative growth areas in retail food packaging over the past two decades. The potential advantages and disadvantages of MAP have been presented by both Farber (1991) and Parry (1993), and summarised by Davies (1995) in Table 16.1

Extrusion cooking is a relatively recent form of food processing. Forcing material through a hole is the process of extrusion. Sausage extruders were devel￾oped in the nineteenth century as simple forming machines. Eventually pasta was produced in extruders. Flour and water were added at one end of the machine

5.1 Introduction In this chapter, copper is considered as a case study for the measurement of the effect of nutrient intake. The importance of the role of copper in biological systems is first explored in a brief review of selected human cuproenzymes

Preliminary remarks Administrative law in the Netherlands is applicable to any action with regard to the execution of public law power. Public law power is defined as authority to decide on the behaviour of another person. Application

It may here be taken for grantedthat since the second half of the 20th century the Information Society may now be considered as running parallel to the 19th century Industrial Society. One of the striking effects of this development particularly made possible by the spread of digital technology is the commodification of information
