UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS v FOREWORD
FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD
Lalit R. Verma, Professor and Department Head
I am pleased to share the progress made in 2017 through the accomplishments of our faculty, students and staff. The mission of our department is “to develop and disseminate engineering knowledge to address problems dealing with sustainable food, water and energy systems.” This mission supports the land-grant mission of our land-grant university and aligns well in addressing the grand challenges facing our society. Our Biological Engineering curriculum prepares engineers to solve problems in sustainable water, food and energy systems. A common thread noticed in the career goals of our students is their desire to “make a difference” and the program gives them the opportunity to do so by working to design engineering solutions for water, food and energy systems. The program continues to have a steady growth and attracts incoming engineering freshmen wishing to pursue careers closely aligned with sustainable systems. Our department has the opportunity to contribute to the programs of both UA System Division of Agriculture’s agricultural research and extension programs, and the UA College of Engineering. We are housed in the Engineering College and our departmental support budget is provided by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service, while our academic programs are funded by the College of Engineering. Some of our faculty is located off-campus in the state office of the UA System Division of Agriculture’s Cooperative Extension Service in Little Rock and at the Rice Research and Education Center in Stuttgart. Our faculty is engaged in providing engineering expertise for critically relevant issues to our state and nation, dealing with challenges in sustainable water, food and energy systems in support of the Arkansas agriculture enterprise.
Six outstanding alumni were inducted in the Arkansas Academy of Biological and Agricultural Engineering (AABAE) in April. They are Mr. Mark Christie, Dr. Tom Garrison, Mr. Adam Jokerst, Mr. Jim McNeal, Dr. Kati Migliaccio and Ms. Amber Meisner. AABAE provides valuable financial support to our students annually and is engaged in raising funds to endow the Carl Griffis Memorial Scholarship. Our undergraduate enrolment was 106 (sophomores to seniors) and 19 graduate students. We are committed and working to increase enrollment in our graduate programs also. Dr. Kieu Le joined our department as an Instructor. She completed her graduate education at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Dr. Tom Costello organized an industry tour for our students. Drs. Scott Osborn and Ben Runkle accompanied 38 students to food, energy and water related industries in Arkansas in late October. Three undergraduates, Ali Ezell, Casey Gibson and Kendrick Hardaway were honored as Seniors of Significance by the Arkansas Alumni Association. Twenty four students in seven teams showcased their senior design projects. Professor Jin-Woo Kim and Distinguished Professor Yanbin Li were inducted as new 2017 Fellows of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) at the National Academy of Sciences in March in Washington, D.C. Our student club leaders Ms. Hailey Flatte and Ms. Bailey Smith organized and hosted the ASABE SE Student Rally during March 17-19 with 125 students from 11 universities and presentations by ASABE President Mr. Maynard Herron and Executive Director Mr. Darrin Drollinger. They put on a great program with tours, workshops and social activities. Mr. Mike Shook, (BSAGE 1982) of AgriProcess Innovations was recognized as a “Distinguished Alumnus” and Ms. Toni Peacock McCrory (BSBE 2007) was recognized as an “Early Career Alumnus” of the College of Engineering. Dr. Scott Osborn was named the Faculty Academic Advisor of the year by the University of Arkansas for his outstanding service as a student advisor and mentor. Distinguished Professor Yanbin Li was recognized with the “Dean’s Award for Excellence-Collaborative Faculty Research Award” in the College of Engineering in May for his multiple research collaborations. Drs. Scott Osborn, Sammy Sadaka and Tom Costello were recognized for excellence in teaching, research and service to students in our department, respectively.
This annual report provides an overview of the programs, contributions and accomplishments of our faculty, students and staff. We welcome your interest in our programs and look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The department’s mission is: Healthy Planet, Healthy People. Biological engineers improve people’s lives today and help assure a sustainable quality of life for tomorrow. They create solutions to problems by coupling living systems (human, plant, animal, environmental, food, and microbial) with the tools of engineering and biotechnology. Biological engineers improve human health; ensure a safe, nutritious food supply; and secure a healthy and safe environment. The department focuses on engineering design that promotes sustainable production, processing and management of food water and energy. A Bache- lor of Science degree in biological engineering is a job-ready degree with opportunities in many indus- tries, government agencies, and consulting firms. It is also excellent preparation for medical, veterinary, dental or other health science professional school as well as M.S. and Ph.D. studies in engineering in oth- er areas.
Biological Engineering is an ABET accredited program leading to the B.S. degree. The M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are also offered. The curriculum is under the joint supervision of the dean of the College of En- gineering and the dean of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences. The B.S. in Biological Engineering is conferred by the College of Engineering and is granted after the successful completion of 128 hours of approved course work.
The educational objective of the Biological Engineering Program at the University of Arkansas is to pre- pare students to successfully practice engineering involving the design and management of sustainable food, water, and energy systems.
Diverse applications of biological engineering can be pursued through elective coursework such as:
Integrating ecological principles into the design of sustainable systems to treat, remediate, and pre- vent pollution to the environment. Applications include stream restoration, watershed management, water and wastewater treatment design, ecological service management, urban greenway design and enclosed ecosystem design. Food processing, food safety and security, biosensing and bioinstrumentation, biotechnology at the micro and nanoscale, developing new products from biomaterials, and biotransformation to synthe- size industrial and pharmaceutical products. Sustainable design and management of finite resources with a broad perspective local and global and cradle to grave life cycle analysis of resource utilization, and environmental impacts with a view toward long-term prosperity.
The2 B.S.2 in2 Biological2 Engineering2 degree can lead to careers in consulting, ecological engineering and design, environmental engineering, sustainable agriculture and food production, low impact devel- opment, water quality and watershed management, human health, biotechnology, natural resource en- gineering, nanotechnology, and biofuels development to name but a few.

Electronic chickens were installed in modules on trailers with live chickens during commercial live-haul process under various environmental conditions and different management practices. Measured heat losses from electronic chickens were in the range of 8.2 to 20.3 W (28 to 69 Btu hr-1) under ambient temperature of -17 to 3.0°C (2.5 to 37°F) in winter or 4.5 to 6.7 W (15 to 23 Btu hr-1) under 28 to 34°C (83 to 93°F) in summer. From measurements made using E-chickens, a trailer temperature range of 11°C-25.1°C (52°F-77°F) during transit (ambient temperature range of 1.7°C – 22.2°C or 35°F – 72°F) appeared to be a preferred range, allowing a sensible heat loss between 26 and 43 Btu hr-1 of 6 lbs broilers, a thermoneutral condition reported by literature.

Algorithms were developed to detect burned fields in the spring and fall, corresponding to wheat and rice harvest, using normalized burn ratio index derived from the Near Infrared and the Short-wave Infrared bands. Phenocam photographs of pre-harvest, post-harvest burning, plowed and flooded fields as well as GPS coordinate information collected by extension agents were used to classify burned and unburned fields. A year-specific crop map was employed to identify the satellite detection as crop residue burning and the type of crop. Results show that approximately 44%, or about 640,000 acres of harvested rice fields, were likely burned in the fall of 2016.

Row-crop farmers IMPACT: (mainly rice, soybean and corn) are keen to start using the A cost-effective technology to treat poultry litter and recycle locally produced litter to fertilize their crops. Due to the nutrients for the Arkansas poultry industry is highly needed to likelihood that the timing of broiler house cleanout and litter support the growth of the industry while still protecting the generation may not be at the exact time that fertilizers could be environment.

Therefore, development of cost effective technologies to treat poultry litter is critical to avoiding and Jun Zhu, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering minimizing the potential for water quality degradation. This [email protected] / 479-575-2883 challenge requires researchers to conduct in-depth and translational research to develop applicable technologies and make these technologies available to poultry producers in a timely manner.
ACTION: One of the common treatment techniques of animal wastes, i.e., anaerobic digestion, has not been widely and extensively studied for treating poultry litter and most of the research on anaerobic digestion of poultry wastes published so far has been centered on chicken or layer manure. The only difference in terms of substrate characteristics is that poultry litter contains a higher solid content (lower moisture content, 25% on average) than those from a liquid handling system and thus may need to be diluted prior to digestion. Using water to dilute poultry litter to make it digestible is apparently not an option according to the current Arkansas regulations on poultry litter handling and management. Therefore, our research has focused on co- digestion of poultry litter with another liquid waste stream, and also with another carbon source such as crop residues to improve the carbon to nitrogen ratio. Models are also developed to simulate the digestion process using batch experiments of anaerobic co-digestions of poultry litter and wheat straw at 2% total solids level, which consist of 100, 75, and 50% VS of poultry litter. The maximum specific methane volumes were obtained to be 207, 134, 5.18 mL (g VS)-1 for 50, 75, and 100% VS co-digestion, respectively. The developed model for bio-products was successfully applied to cumulative methane volumes produced from anaerobic co-digestion. The model parameters obtained from the bio-products model combined with the corresponding yield coefficients were
