  • Television in infancy and early childhood--Uses & effects
    Murray, John P.; Murray, Ann D. (Elsevier/Academic Press, 2008)
    The use of television and other media—such as video, computer programs, and CD material—in infancy and early childhood can have both positive and negative influences on the intellectual and social development of young ...
  • Temperature accuracy of an electric belt grill, a forced-air convection oven, and an electric broiler
    Lawrence, T.E.; King, D.A.; Dikeman, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2001)
    We evaluated the temperature variation of an electric belt grill set at four temperatures, a forced-air convection oven set at three temperatures, and an electric broiler that has no temperature control. After finding that ...
  • Temperature Boundary Condition Models for Concrete Bridge Members
    Riding, Kyle A.; Poole, Jonathan L.; Schindler, Anton K.; Juenger, Maria C. G.; Folliard, Kevin J. (2007)
    The temperature development of mass concrete elements is strongly dependent on constituent materials and mixture proportions, as well as the formwork type, geometry, and environmental conditions. This paper presents a ...
  • Temperature changes in a low-profile, cross-ventilated building in the high plains
    Harner, J.P.; Smith, J.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2009)
    Performance of an evaporative cooling system was evaluated in the High Plains in a low-profile, cross-ventilated dairy facility housing 4,200 lactating cows. The temperature decrease across the 6-inch cellulose evaporative ...
  • Temperature management to minimize ground beef aerobic and lactic acid bacteria growth
    Mancini, R.A.; Hunt, M.C.; Kropf, D.H.; Hachmeister, K.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2002)
    Increasing storage and display temperature and time of ground beef significantly increased microbial counts but lean level had no effect. Prolonged storage at abusive temperatures (48°F) caused up to 90% unacceptable ...
  • Ten-year summary of K.S.I.A. swine testing station data
    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1969)
    Swine testing stations "performance prove” breeding lines for genetic progress in the swine industry. The phenotype of a boar is a combination of his genetic ability and environment (nutrition, health, and etc.). Thus by ...
  • Tenderness and cooking characteristics of beef cooked by electric belt grill, forced-air convection oven, or electric broiler
    Lawrence, T.E.; King, D.A.; Obuz, E.; Yancey, E.J.; Dikeman, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2001)
    We used an electric belt grill, a forced-air convection oven, and an electric broiler to cook 170 bottom round, 142 brisket, 177 top sirloin, 176 strip loin, and 136 eye of round steaks from USDA Select carcasses to ...
  • Tenderness and intramuscular lipid of most major muscles from Bos indicus cattle are less than Bos taurus cattle
    Highfill, C.M.; Font, O.E.; Dikeman, M.E.; Kropf, D.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2011)
    In semitropical climates in the United States, Bos indicus breeds of cattle, primarily the Brahman breed, are utilized in crossbreeding programs with Bos taurus cattle to improve productivity by increasing disease and ...
  • The Tenderometer as a tool for evaluating beef tenderness
    Dikeman, M.E.; Tuma, H.J.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Numerous instruments have been developed to objectively measure tenderness, an important eating characteristics of beef. The Kramer shear press and Warner-Bratzler shear show the best relationships to taste panel tenderness ...
