In addition to a dynamic show of leaves, students, and pumpkins, October also brings a fresh new plate of events honoring Oregon Archives Month to the OSU campus!
The OSU Archives hosted a showcase of historical recipes from the collections. Drawing from Extension publications, USDA Farmer’s Bulletins, and other gems...
Bloomy rind cheeses, including Camembert and related varieties, can he produced using alternative processes that vary based on milk preacidification, cutting, curd handling, and ripening parameters. Modification of these parameters creates distinct cheeses such as lactic curd, stabilized curd, and hybrids of the two. The objective of this study was...
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes the right to clean water, entitling everyone to “sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses”. This rationale is the inspiration for comparing the effects of clean water strategies. A comparison between Tunisian and Egyptian approaches will evaluate...
The sustainability of the food system is at the forefront of academic and policy discussions as we face the challenge of providing food security to a growing population amidst environmental uncertainty and depletion, social disruptions, and structural economic shocks and stresses. Crafting a sustainable and resilient food system requires us...
Bloomy rind cheeses, including Camembert and Brie type cheeses, are highly susceptible to contamination by environmental pathogens during their manufacture and ripening. These cheeses undergo many physiochemical changes during ripening that provides these pathogens with a suitable environment to grow. One example of this change is an increase of pH...
A recipe as a piece of text can tell a variety of stories as well as any other. Using a feminist rhetorical analysis, I read my grandmother’s personal recipe journal to show that her writings contain valuable information about women’s lives in twentieth century Poland. Through the close examination of...
We investigate electron transport properties in large-area, single-layer graphene embedded in dielectric media, using free-space terahertz (THz) imaging and time-domain spectroscopy. Sandwiched between a thin polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) layer and a Si substrate, graphene layers of different growth recipes exhibit distinctive spatial inhomogeneity of sheet conductivity. The non-contacting, non-destructive THz...
Meat from big game animals (such as deer, antelope, elk, moose, and bear) is a nutritious choice for family meals. You'll enjoy eating it when it's good quality and well-prepared. For best flavor, it's important to handle game carcasses carefully and to butcher and store the meat correctly. This publication...
Lentisphaera araneosa is a marine microorganism, and its production of expolymer plays an important role in marine ecosystem. The exopolymer production in L. araneosa is studied by measuring the growth of bacteria (in cells/mL) and the viscosity of the medium (in centistokes) under different treatments. The treatment without serine and...
In current nanotoxicology research, there is a lack of standardization in reporting of zebrafish exposure media and sonication practices. This lack of standardization in use and reporting methods has made reproducing nanoparticle (NP) toxicity results between labs a common issue. It is important to have a standardized way of reporting...
