Around
campusCooler engines is the
goal Iowa State engineers are developing new tests and
technologies to cool turbine blades and improve
engines for aircraft and power
plants. How to handle fresh produce Give
your fresh produce a shower, rather than a bath advises professor
and extension specialist Catherine Strohbehn. You're more likely
to wash away potential contaminants if you wash fruits and vegetables under
running water and drain, rather than washing in a container of
water.
