Proceedings of the Third Biochemical Engineering Symposium (April 28, 1973)

This report presents the proceedings of the Biochemical Engineering Symposium held at Kansas State University, April 28, 1973. Since a number of the contributions will be published in detail elsewhere, only brief summaries of each contribution are included here. Requests for additional information on projects conducted at The University of Nebraska should be directed to Dr. Peter J. Reilly, and those at Kansas State University to the editors.

Proceedings of the Nineteenth Annual Biochemical Engineering Symposium

The nineteenth symposium was held at the University of Missouri–Columbia on April 22, 1989. A total of eighteen papers were scheduled for presentation, of which nine were in poster session. Finally, fifteen papers were presented and sixteen were submitted for this proceedings. It was attended by 53 participants from five institutions. A sixth group (from Colorado State University) was kept from attending the symposium due to mechanical problems on the road and we missed them. Since they worked hard at their presentations, I requested CSU-group to submit their papers for the proceedings and I am happy that they did. ContentsMathematical modelling of a flour milling system.
