Development of Real-Time PCR Method for Detection, Identification and Quantification of Five Different Fusarium Species
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease affecting cereal crops worldwide. FHB involves multiple Fusarium species that create food safety concerns by producing mycotoxins such as trichothecenes, zearalenone and ... -
Development of Sustainable Construction Material From Fly Ash C
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Environmental issues caused by the production of Portland cement have necessitated its replacement by waste materials like fly ash which has been proven to be quite beneficial environmentally and economically. Therefore, ... -
Development of the Jagim Lean Real Time Location Systems Model for Healthcare
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The critical challenge for healthcare today is to be a high quality/low cost provider. However, healthcare is struggling to meet the challenge in terms of quality, outcomes and cost. Healthcare is in need of a blueprint ... -
Development of the Stress Response in Fast (Coturnix Japonica) Versus Slow (Callipepla Gambelii) Growing Species
(North Dakota State University, 2012)In this study, we evaluated the development of stress response in (1) two different species of quail, one species that is relatively fast-growing (Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica) and one that is relatively slow-growing ... -
Development of the Youth
(North Dakota State University, 2013)This thesis presents research on the benefits well designed youth centers can have on children as they grow into adulthood. The typology of this project is a center for the study of children maturation. The site is in ... -
The Development of Works for Choir and Brass: A Study of Four Representative Works
(North Dakota State University, 2012)As brass instruments evolved from crude instruments limited to only a few notes into instruments that could play melodic passages within the vocal range, they began to be paired with the voice. The development traced in ... -
Development Tools for Content Creation in Virtual Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2010)lmmersive Virtual Environments (IVEs) for education are designed and implemented to enable students to learn complicated concepts in an exploratory and inquiry based manner. The environments are constructed so that ... -
The Development, Characterization and Testing of Mg-rich Primers
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Aluminum alloys are widely used in aircraft industry for their strength and light weight. Those alloys that are hardened by precipitation, especially the Copper-rich of the 2000 series, are prone to corrosion and are ... -
Development, Validation and Reliability of the Chrononutrition Profile
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Chrononutrition, or the circadian timing of food intake, has garnered attention as a topic of study due to its associations with health (e.g., weight gain); however, a valid assessment of chrononutrition in daily life has ... -
Developmental Changes in Fat Metabolism of Tobacco Hornworm, Manduca Sexta
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Insects fed high carbohydrate diets have increased fat storage, and excess fat storage in insects may have fitness costs. M. sexta larvae reared on 5.6% fat diet had lower body mass and growth rate compared to those on ... -
Developmental Effects on Immunity: Hormonal and Proteinase Control
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Insects are ubiquitous, diverse, and able to combat infections despite their lack of adaptive immunity. Insects have a robust innate immune system that is divided into two branches, cell-mediated and humoral. Activation ... -
Device Design for In-Situ EIS Measurements of Organic Coatings Under Accelerated Degradation Via Impingement Flow
