(North Dakota State University, 2017)Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is an approved cancer biomarker by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the early detection, diagnosis, and for the use in the regular screening of patients at high risk for the development ... -
Identification of Brassica Napus L. Sources of Resistance Against Blackleg (Leptosphaeria Maculans)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Blackleg, caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et de Not. [anamorph = Phoma lingam (Tode: Fr.) Desm.] has become the most important disease affecting canola around the world. A study was conducted to ... -
Identification of Delamination Defects in CFRP Materials through Lamb Wave Responses
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Delamination is currently a largely undetectable form of damage in composite laminate materials. This thesis will develop a method to more easily detect delamination damage within composite materials. Using finite element ... -
Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes and Gene Sets Using a Modified Q-Value
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Gene expression technologies allow expression levels to be compared across treatments for thousands of genes simultaneously. Statistical methods exist for identifying differentially expressed (DE) genes and gene sets while ... -
Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes When the Distribution of Effect Sizes is Asymmetric in Two Class Experiments
(North Dakota State University, 2017)High-throughput RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has emerged as an innovative and powerful technology for detecting differentially expressed genes (DE) across different conditions. Unlike continuous microarray data, RNA-Seq data ... -
Identification of Disordered Eating Behaviors in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Type 1 diabetes is a life-long chronic condition that typically presents in childhood, and approximately 193,000 Americans under age 20 are estimated to have either Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes. Additionally, approximately ... -
Identification of Factors Contributing to Traffic Fatalities in the United States
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Traffic accidents not only cause injuries and deaths but also result in significant property and economic losses. With annual 40,000 lives lost in United States and $80 billion in economic losses, research in minimizing ... -
Identification of Genomic Regions Associated With Color-Related Traits in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum Desf.) is one of the main crops for human consumption, and it is an essential ingredient for pasta production. The color of pasta can range from bright yellow to dim brown. Pasta ... -
Identification of Host Resistant Effective against the Barley Spot Form Net Blotch Pathogen
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Spot form net blotch (SFNB) caused by Pyrenophora teres f. maculata is a major foliar disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) worldwide. SFNB epidemics have recently been observed in major barley producing countries, ... -
Identification of Molecular Markers for Marker-Assisted Selection of Malting Quality and Associated Traits in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in North Dakota, which ranks second amongst all states for barley production in the United States. Barley is used for the production of malt, which is ... -
Identification of Molecular Markers Linked to X-Disease Resistance in Chokecherry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)X-disease, caused by phytoplasmas, is one of the destructive diseases in stone fruit trees, causing yield loss and poor fruit quality. So far no effective methods are available to control X-disease. X-disease resistance ... -
Identification of Multiple Virulence Loci in Pyrenophora Teres F. Teres Associated with Net Form Net Blotch in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres causes the foliar disease net form net blotch (NFNB) on barley (Hordeum vulgare). To investigate the genetics of virulence in the barley- P. teres f. teres ... -
