The two schools have collaborated in the past for projects not unlike this. Along with Texas Tech University, and the University of Houston, they are partners in the Texas Digital Library and preservation storage in the High Density Repository on the J.J. Pickle Campus in Austin at UT.

Thousands of dollars were donated to the scholarship funds of Midland College, Odessa College, UTPB, and Texas Tech.

FEMA said much of its information is based on research conducted by the Wind Engineering Research Center based at Texas Tech University.

Shelters are “highly recommended” for storm-prone areas, according to Larry Tanner, research associate for the National Wind Institute at Texas Tech University who studies how shelters behave in fierce storms. He believes public buildings should have shelters or safe rooms in areas prone to large storms.

The finals will feature 12 teams with seven riders each working their way through seven different heats. Competing universities include Central Florida, University of Miami, Florida State University, Oklahoma State University, University of Louisiana at Monroe, University of Wisconsin, Louisiana Tech University, Texas Tech University, San Diego State, and Arizona State. Several riders from other universities will compete for individual honors.

“There are above-ground and below -round storm shelters that offer near absolute occupant protection from the worst-case tornado,” said Ernst Kiesling, professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.

…

Storm shelters certified by the National Storm Shelter Association are tested against 250-mph winds and debris traveling at that speed, says Ernst Kiesling, head of the NSSA and a research professor at Texas Tech University’s National Wind Institute in Lubbock. “They would have easily survived the 200-mph winds reported from Oklahoma,” Kiesling says. “We’re greatly chagrined that the message has been sent that the only safe place is underground. That’s simply not accurate. People can feel very safe in a modern storm shelter.”

The Texas Tech University Debris Impact Testing Lab certifies above-ground shelters as capable of withstanding EF5 storms. “If the shelter has been tested as an F5, it’s good for a 250 mile per hour tornado,” says Larry Tanner, a research associate at the National Wind Institute and Debris Impact Testing Lab.

The lab also recommends indoor shelters above cellars only accessible from the outside, since residents are less likely to use outdoor shelters and often encounter flying debris while trying to reach them.

“We believe food-safety research is critical to the current and future health of the cattle industry,” said Rob Kelly, vice president, U.S. Cattle and Equine Business Unit at Zoetis. “Consumers expect the food they serve their families to be wholesome and safe, and they are counting on everyone in the industry to work together to deliver safe food to families around the world.”

Establishing partnerships with top research institutions such as Texas Tech University is essential to managing foodborne pathogens like Salmonella during the preharvest stage, Kelly added.

“Salmonella continues to threaten human health. With new understandings of how it interacts with livestock populations, we can develop better tools that can lead to meaningful improvements in food safety,” said Guy Loneragan, BVSc, PhD, epidemiologist and professor of food safety and public health at Texas Tech University.
