Tracing the development of food law through these updates, which appear in each issue of the Journal of Food Law & Policy, also provides historical context for the development of significant food law issues over time. New developments in state law, while certainly important and deserving in …


Creating Balance: Problems Within Dshea And Suggestions For Reform, Jennifer Akre Hill Dec 2006

Creating Balance: Problems Within Dshea And Suggestions For Reform, Jennifer Akre Hill

Journal of Food Law & Policy

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) was signed into law on October 25, 1994. At the signing, President Clinton endorsed the "intense efforts" of manufacturers and legislators to change the "treatment of dietary supplements under regulation and law." Further, the bill was signed with the hope that it would benefit consumers by permitting more access to dietary supplements and more choices for consumer directed healthcare. In support, politicians on both sides of the aisle claimed the DSHEA as a victory for consumer freedom, populist protection, and preventative medicine.


Animal Identification And Traceability Under The Us National Animal Identification System, Margaret Rosso Grossman Dec 2006

Animal Identification And Traceability Under The Us National Animal Identification System, Margaret Rosso Grossman

Journal of Food Law & Policy

The identification of animals has a long history in the United States. Since the late nineteenth century, livestock producers have used brands to mark their animals. Ear tags and other marks now identify individual animals or animals from a specific producer, but not all livestock are identified to facilitate traceability.

Bovine Immune Response To Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia Coli O157:H7, Mark A. Hoffman, Christian Menge, Thomas A. Casey, William Laegreid, Brad T. Bosworth, Evelyn A. Dean-Nystrom Dec 2006

Bovine Immune Response To Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia Coli O157:H7, Mark A. Hoffman, Christian Menge, Thomas A. Casey, William Laegreid, Brad T. Bosworth, Evelyn A. Dean-Nystrom

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Although cattle develop humoral immune responses to Shiga-toxigenic (Stx+) Escherichia coli O157:H7, infections often result in long-term shedding of these human pathogenic bacteria. The objective of this study was to compare humoral and cellular immune responses to Stx+ and Stx- E. coli O157:H7. Three groups of calves were inoculated intrarumenally, twice in a 3-week interval, with different strains of E. coli: a Stx2- producing E. coli O157:H7 strain (Stx2+O157), a Shiga toxin-negative E. coli O157:H7 strain (Stx-O157), or a nonpathogenic E. coli strain (control). Fecal shedding of Stx2+O157 was …

Analysis Of Nmr Spectra Using Digital Signal Processing Techniques., Jason Aaron Gearheart Dec 2006

Analysis Of Nmr Spectra Using Digital Signal Processing Techniques., Jason Aaron Gearheart

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since its development, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become one of the primary methods of chemists for structure elucidation, which is the determination of a compound's molecular structure. Current software packages enable scientists to visualize the raw data produced by the spectrometer so that they can manually determine a compound's component parts. This is accomplished by manually comparing the spectrum of the mixture with various reference materials believed to be present. But these software packages can be expanded to do even more. It is the purpose of this thesis to provide an automated analysis package capable of analyzing a mixture …

Design Of An Interface For A Decision Support System For Dairy Collection., Charles Milan Braidich 1983-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based tool that extends an operator's cognitive abilities and makes him more effective in decision-making situations. This thesis discusses the characteristics and historical applications of decision support systems. It also discusses the contexts, operator requirements, and policies surrounding a SS for dairy security; in this instance security includes both the physical security of the product and the integrity of the data concerning the product. Finally, this thesis discusses the methodology and resulting design of the DSS for dairy security. Specific tools and considerations involved in the design include the human centered design cycle …


The Effect Of Modular Tapered Fluted Stems On Proximal Stress Shielding In The Human Femur., Justin Steve Conway Dec 2006

The Effect Of Modular Tapered Fluted Stems On Proximal Stress Shielding In The Human Femur., Justin Steve Conway

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Modular hip implants are currently being used in total hip arthroplasty revision procedures because it is common to have little or no bone left in the proximal region of the femur and it is difficult to accurately size implants based off of radiographs or other medical imaging techniques. The effect of modular systems using tapered fluted stems on proximal stress shielding in the human femur is the focus of this study. Seven modular implants were press-fit into seven femurs, where there was little or no contact between the modular body and the test femur. Finally, hydroxyapatite bone cement was added …


Geomorphic Considerations For Restoration Of Headwater Streams Impacted By Mountaintop Mining Hollow Fills., Ben Mater 1982- Dec 2006

Geomorphic Considerations For Restoration Of Headwater Streams Impacted By Mountaintop Mining Hollow Fills., Ben Mater 1982-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Within the Appalachian hills of eastern Kentucky, large-scale coal mining operations are directly altering the headwater landscape through the construction of hollow fills. These man-made landforms and their associated in-stream structures alter a longterm, continuous morphologic evolution driven by the natural interaction of erosive forces and material of the earth's surface. Post-mining channel morphology, hillslopes, and hollow fills continue to actively evolve in response to erosive forces. Aquatic ecosystem functionality and hollow fill stability may be jeopardized by this condition, yet they may be preserved through efforts to restore or re-create channel morphology more representative of the natural headwater stream. …


A Robotics Testbed : The Design & Implementation With Applications., Travis Alan Riggs Dec 2006

A Robotics Testbed : The Design & Implementation With Applications., Travis Alan Riggs

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In order to study the movements of autonomous mobile robots, a tool is needed to quantify those movements. A testbed is an apparatus that provides a designated space for multiple mobile robots while tracking their position in real-time. That tracking information can also be communicated to the robots themselves to serve as closed-loop feedback. With this tool, many techniques can be developed and validated through various control experiments. A design and implementation of a testbed is presented here. The testbed is analyzed for its performance and several applications are presented to demonstrate its usefulness.


Current Account Balances, Financial Development And Institutions: Assaying The World “Saving Glut”, Menzie David Chinn, Hiro Ito Dec 2006

Current Account Balances, Financial Development And Institutions: Assaying The World “Saving Glut”, Menzie David Chinn, Hiro Ito

Economics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We critically assess several of the key assertions underlying the global saving glut hypothesis. First, we investigate whether the behavior of the U.S. current account behavior is anomalous in light of previous industrial country experience. Second, we determine whether East Asian current account balances are predictable using standard macroeconomic variables, augmented with institutional factors. Finally, we investigate whether higher levels of financial development in key East Asian economies would result in smaller current account surpluses. We find that a one percentage-point increase in the budget balance would increase the current account balance by 0.10 to 0.49 percentage-points for industrialized countries, …
