Hygiene procedures of trucks transporting live pigs: multi-assessment validation of a standardized C&D protocol [PDF]
Inadequately cleaned transport vehicles can act as reservoirs for pathogens jeopardizing pigs’ health status. Although effective cleaning and disinfection (C&D) of live-pig transport trucks is required by law, there is still no universally accepted ...

On Bose-Einstein condensation on closed Robertson-Walker spacetimes [PDF]
In this letter we summarize our analysis of Bose-Einstein condensation on closed Robertson-Walker spacetimes. In a previous work we defined an adiabatic KMS state on the Weyl-algebra of the free massive Klein-Gordon field.
