Val[a]idating the efficacy of commercial foaming cleaner and sanitizer for controlling Listeria innocua (surrogate for Listeria monocytogenes) in drains and potential translocation from the drain to the food contact surfaces

Saini, Jasdeep Kaur (Kansas State University, 2008)

Listeria monocytogenes is known to be an environmental contaminant in food processing facilities. Floor drains in processing environments harbor Listeria spp. due to continuous presence of humidity and organic substrates. ...
Validating the User-Centered Hybrid Assessment Tool (User-CHAT): a comparative usability evaluation

Elgin, Peter D. (Kansas State University, 2007)

Usability practitioners need effective usability assessment techniques in order to facilitate development of usable consumer products. Many usability evaluation methods have been promoted as the ideal. Few, however, fulfill ...
Validation and implementation of a remote three-dimensional accelerometer monitoring system for evaluating behavior patterns in cattle

Robért, Bradley Duane (Kansas State University, 2010)

We performed research that investigated the ability of three dimensional accelerometers to classify cattle behavior and also describe the circadian patterns within that behavior. The first of three studies (validation ...
Validation of the Fung double tube to enumerate Clostridium perfringens from the intestinal contents of broiler chickens raised on different diets

Barrios Godoy, Miguel Alejandro (Kansas State University, 2012)

Clostridium perfringens causes necrotic enteritis (NE), resulting in decreased feed efficiency and increased mortality, costing the poultry industry USD 2 billion a year worldwide. The objective of the first trial was to ...
Validation of tilling populations in diploid and hexaploid wheat

Rothe, Nolan (Kansas State University, 2010)

TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) is a high-throughput, reverse genetics strategy for scanning mutagenized populations for point mutations in loci of interest. Originally, TILLING was used to investigate ...
Valuation of country of origins of organic processed food: a comparative study of consumer demand for soymilk in the United States and China

Zheng, Yue (Kansas State University, 2011)

The organic food market in the United States expanded rapidly at annual rates between 12% and 21% from 1997 to 2008, yet the adoption rate of organic farming remained stagnant. Industry sources suggest that the degree of ...
The value of administrative behaviors: a comparative study of special education teachers and building administrators in Kansas

Ewy, Casey L. (Kansas State University, 2007)

Finding qualified teachers is a growing concern to school districts nationwide. Special Education is one of those areas that is highly in need. Researchers have suggested the reason for these shortages is not recruitment ...
Value of animal traceability systems in managing a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in southwest Kansas

Pendell, Dustin Lester (Kansas State University, 2006)

Concerns regarding management of animal disease and related perceptions about food safety have escalated substantially in recent years. Terrorist attacks of September 2001, discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in ...
Variation among grain sorghum genotypes in response to nitrogen fertilizer

Mahama, George Yakubu (Kansas State University, 2012)

Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important crop in the semi-arid regions of Africa, Asia and United States. Productivity of grain sorghum is limited by soil fertility, especially nitrogen (N). Sorghum ...
Variation in single kernel hardness within the wheat spike

Miller, Christopher L. (Kansas State University, 2008)

Variation in wheat kernel hardness is influenced by several factors including genetic expression and environmental conditions. However, these factors explain only a portion of the observed variation. Thus, there are ...
Various factors involved in control, treatment, and investigation of bovine respiratory disease in high risk feedlot cattle

Torres, Siddartha (Kansas State University, 2013)

Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex (BRDC) is the most common and costly disease in feedlot cattle in North America. Annual economic losses are estimated to be US$1 billion due to mortality, reduced performance, and treatment ...
Vehicle highway automation

Challa, Dinesh Kumar (Kansas State University, 2009)

Vehicle Highway Automation has been studied for several years but a practical system has not been possible because of technology limitations. New advances in sensing and communication technology have now brought a realistic ...
A vehicle-based laser system for generating high-resolution digital elevation models

Li, Peng (Kansas State University, 2010)

Soil surface roughness is a major factor influencing soil erosion by wind and water. Studying surface roughness requires accurate Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data. A vehicle-based laser measurement system was developed ...
Verification of FlexRay membership protocol using UPPAAL

Mudaliar, Vinodkumar Sekar (Kansas State University, 2008)

Safety-critical systems embedded in avionics and automotive systems are becoming increasing complex. Components with different requirements typically share a common distributed platform for communication. To accommodate ...
Verification of mechanistic prediction models for permanent deformation in asphalt mixes using accelerated pavement testing

Onyango, Mbakisya A. (Kansas State University, 2009)

Permanent deformation (rutting) is the most critical load-associated distress that develops on asphalt pavements significantly affecting their performance. Past research work focused on estimating permanent deformation of ...
Verification of universal surface scaling behavior in critical binary liquid mixtures with neutron and x-ray reflectometry

Brown, Matthew D. (Kansas State University, 2007)

We have studied two critical binary liquid mixtures in the mixed phase regime with x-ray and neutron reflectometry to verify universal critical scaling at a non-critical interface. We compared our results with previous ...
Veterinary Public Health Activities in Nebraska

Bredthauer, Annette (2005)

Activities of a state public health veterinarian.
VHF & UHF energy harvesting radio system physical and MAC layer considerations

Zhang, Xiaohu (Kansas State University, 2009)

Wireless Sensor Network industrial and civilian applications have been moved closer to us since they were originally developed for defense applications. They have been or will be widely used in industrial process monitoring ...
Violent delinquency in America the determinants of carrying firearms among juveniles: a theoretical comparative analysis

Wallace, Douglas Scott Larson (Kansas State University, 2009)

This study examined three of the prominent theories of juvenile delinquency to determine principle juvenile firearm carrying behaviors. The theories investigated were Differential Association/Social Learning, Social ...
Virtual vision quest: second life and the digital self

Harlow, Megan Jean (Kansas State University, 2009)

This thesis examines the production of identity within post web 2.0 virtual communities. Second Life, the community which this study focuses on, is a growing home of educational institutions. To better understand the process ...
