Pozuelo Bonilla, Katia Cecilia

Even though swine-associated foodborne disease outbreaks have been reported less frequently than in other meat products, the potential that swine represent a source of Salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli ...
Validation of large eddy simulations for modeling micro-structured enhanced heat transfer surfaces

Li, Puxuan (2019-05-01)

The focus of this research is to investigate the relationship between the flow characteristics and heat transfer on enhanced surfaces. Internally enhanced surfaces, such as micro-fins, are an important class of heat transfer ...
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, 2012-04-30)

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, 2010-05-11)

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 ...
Validation of washing treatments to reduce Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Escherichia coli surrogates, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes populations on the surface of green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, and cantaloupes

Lopez Giron, Keyla Patricia (Kansas State University, 2015-12-01)

Produce such as tomatoes, lettuce, and cantaloupes have been associated repeatedly with food outbreaks connected to various Salmonella serovars, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli O157:H7. The aim of this research ...
