A note on two uses for impedimetry in brewing microbiology

Abstract

Abstact The forcing test used in the brewing industry is shortened from a few weeks to a few days using a new protocol employing impedimetry. The generation times of four different brewing yeasts growing in brewery wort were calculated from measurements obtained using impedimetry.

“…2. Nell'industria della birra il tempo necessario per determinare i microrganismi alteranti nel prodotto è stato ridotto da 3 settimane o più a soli 2-4 giorni con l'uso dell'impedenza 52 . Su 380 campioni valutati, 323 (pari all'85%) sono stati correttamente stimati mediante impedenza.…”

The UN Peacebuilding Commission and Transitional Justice

“…Aside from co-financing these institutions using assets from the Peacebuilding Fund, the PBC should provide expertise and experience gained from similar processes such as the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the gacaca court system in Rwanda or the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation as well as the Special Panels for Serious Crimes in East Timor. 114 Hence, Burundi provides the opportunity for the Peacebuilding Commission to show its strength and seriousness when it comes to the promotion of transitional justice. It would be highly desirable that the country-specific mission on Burundi includes justice and reconciliation efforts as one of its major considerations and complies with its mandate to invite civil society institutions with their remarkable knowledge and experience on the relevant subject in order to participate in carving out strategies and support programs for the advancement of transitional justice in Burundi.…”
