Dr. Srivastava was lead author on ASABE's 2nd Edition publication of "Engineering Principles of Agricultural Machines". Other authors were Carroll E. Goering, Roger P. Rohrhach and Dennis Buckmaster. Congratulations!
We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Steve Safferman has been selected as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Environmental Engineering (JEE). This journal is one of the most prestigious in the environmental engineering field (if not the most prestigious). Dr. Safferman is the first BAE faculty to be selected. Please join us in congratulating him.
High School Honor Science Program participant, John Zhou (BAE faculty mentor: Dr. Evangeline Alocilja), has been named as a finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search. John, a high school student at Detroit County Day School was one of only 40 finalists in the nation to be chosen. He will be traveling to Washington, D.C. in March to present his work in the final stages of the competition.
What an accomplishment!
Washington State University has funded Dr. Kirk Dolan, for his proposed project entitled "Improving Methods to Remove Sand from Asparagus”
On December 2, 2005, Voice of America Mandarin interviewed Dr. Kirk Dolan, Associate Professor with joint appointment in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition and in the Department of Biosystems & Agricultural Engineering, for a fifth time. The topic was binge eating during the holidays. The interview lasted 25 minutes, and was conducted in Mandarin Chinese by conference call from Washington, D.C. to E. Lansing at 6:30AM to allow live call-in from listeners from China.
VOA interviewer Cheng Yang discussed the following topics with Dr. Dolan:
- Why people binge eat during holiday season?
- Is it a disorder?
- How can binge eating be prevented?
- What are the caloric contents of the different food components?
- What do you think of holiday eating contest, like the turkey eating contest before Thanksgiving when a 100 pound woman ate 4 pounds of
turkey meat in 12 minutes?
Many callers were trying to get through, but VOA could take only four. The four callers from China asked for examples of foods that are nutrient dense with low caloric content, and what foods were best to eat during the holidays, when it is easy to gain weight. Many Chinese listeners are paying more attention to the food they eat as the standard of living in China rises.
The Voice of America (VOA) is an international multimedia broadcasting service on short-wave radio funded by the U.S. government. VOA Mandarin is the number one international broadcaster in China with three times as many listeners as the second place BBC. The average listening audience of VOA Mandarin is about five million, based on 2002 survey data. VOA Chinese also sends out 17+ million emails every week through the internet.
