The European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control have just published their Community Zoonoses Report for 2007, analysing the occurrence of infectious diseases transmittable from animals to humans. Campylobacter infections still topped the list of zoonotic diseases in the European Union and the number of Salmonella infections in humans decreased for the fourth year in a row. Cases of listeriosis remained at the same level as in 2006, but due to the severity of the disease, more studies on transmission routes are warranted. The report highlights the importance of continued co-operation between veterinarians and public health specialists, both at the EU level and within Member States.

This work presents the development of a data reduction algorithm for non-nulling, multihole pressure probes in compressible, subsonic flowfields. The algorithm is able to reduce data from any 5- or 7-hole probe and generate very accurate predictions of the velocity magnitude and direction, total and static pressures, Mach and Reynolds number and fluid properties like the density and viscosity. The algorithm utilizes a database of calibration data and a local least-squares interpolation technique. It has been tested on four novel miniature 7-hole probes that have been calibrated at NASA Langley Flow Modeling and Control Branch for the entire subsonic regime. Each of the probes had a conical tip with diameter of 1.65 mm. Excellent prediction capabilities are demonstrated with maximum errors in angle prediction less than 0.6 degrees and maximum errors in velocity prediction less than 1 percent, both with 99 percent confidence.
