It extended to the feet, and was often coated head to toe in suet or wax. A coating of suet may have been used with the thought that the plague could be drawn away from the flesh of the infected victim and either trapped by the suet, or repelled by the 7 wax. The coating of wax likely served as protection against respiratory droplet contamination, but it was not known at the time if coughing carried the plague. It was likely that the overcoat was waxed to simply prevent sputum or other bodily fluids from clinging to it. (Grand Gallimaufry homepage: http://sylvaansuz.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/the-plague-doctors- garb/) A wooden cane was used to both direct family members to move the patient, other individuals nearby, and possibly to examine patients without directly touching them.

be unjustified, since knife-trimming applies with hand-held hoses in small operations or to defined carcass segments, while washing by automated spraying systems in cabinets applies to whole carcasses. Compared with (Anderson et al. 1981), in which the nozzle cold water, which physically removes bacte- type and configuration, and the spraying ria, hot water-washing has an additional pressure determine the droplet size and tem- lethal effect on microbial contamination (see perature of water as it hits the carcass surface relevant section of this book chapter).

If the science gets too dense and you want the index card version, skip to "Ice Age Revisited-- Four Places to Start" on this page. I won't be offended. Fat-Burning Fat Not all fat is equal. There are at least two distinct types: white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). WAT is what we usually think of as fat, like the marbling on a steak. A WAT cell--an adipocyte --is composed of a single large fat droplet with a single nucleus. BAT, in contrast, is sometimes referred to as "fat-burning fat" and appears to be derived from the same stem cells as muscle tissue. A BAT cell is composed of multiple droplets that are brown in color because of a much higher volume of iron-containing mitochondria. Normally associated with muscle tissue, mitochondria are best known for producing ATP and oxidizing fat in muscle tissue. BAT helps dissipate excess calories as heat. These excess calories would
