  • An analysis of older-driver involvement in crashes and injury severity in Kansas
    Perera, Hewage Loshaka Kumara (Kansas State University, 2009)
    The older population (>65 years) numbered 36.8 million in the United States in 2005. By 2030, the number is estimated to be 71.5 million, almost twice as many. An increase in the older population means an increase in older ...
  • Beef safety - current research and summary of progress

  • The real story about food safety
    Kastner, Curtis L. (American Society of Animal Science, 1995)
    Students should be thoroughly aware of the safety issues that affect the food industry and we should be prepared to summarize the issues in our classes. Food safety covers areas including nutrition, chemical residues, ...
  • Semi-quantitative evaluation of protein residues in foods using the FLASH™ rapid cleaning validation method
    Olds, David A.; Fung, Daniel Y.C.; Shanklin, Carol W. (2005)
    Cross-containination of food contact surfaces in retail foodservice establishments may result in outbreaks of foodborne illness. Traditional microbiological sampling collection methods that use swab tests or agar surface ...
  • The use of narratives in safety and health communication
    Ricketts, Mitchell S (Kansas State University, 2007)
    Unintentional injuries represent the leading cause of death among Americans aged 1-44 years. While there have been many life-saving advances in engineering, attempts to save lives by changing people's behavior have been ...
  • Use of visual appearance as an indicator of degree of doneness in ground beef patties
    Warren, K.E.; Hunt, M.C.; Hague, M.A.; Kropf, D.H.; Stroda, S.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
