The Effects of Abiotic Climate Change Factors on Aphid Life History and Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2015)While the effects of many abiotic factors associated with climate change have not been extensively studied, work on model organisms is beginning to help predict effects on similar species. Research on climate change has ... -
The Effects of Acetoacetic Acis on Bacterial Growth and Biofilm Formation of Cronobacter Sakazakii, Serratia Marcescens, and Yersinia Enterocolitica
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Prevention of bacterial biofilms is an area of research currently being investigated by many research teams. The ability of a chemical to be incorporated into a material that could be used in a medical or food production ... -
The Effects of Agricultural Factors on Foodborne Bacterial Pathogen Isolation, Attachment, and Survival
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The pathogens enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), Salmonella enterica, and Listeria monocytogenes are prominent causes of foodborne illness. If they reach the pre- or post-harvest environment of produce, they can ... -
Effects of Alternate Day Feeding of Dried Distiller’s Grains Plus Solubles and Grass Hay on Metabolism and Performance in Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Two studies were conducted to determine the effects of supplementing dried distiller's grains plus solubles (DDGS) on alternate days to forage-fed cattle. We hypothesized that feeding either DDGS at a low percent of body ... -
Effects of Alternating Current Electrical Stimulation on the Cellular Chemistry and Proliferation of C2C12 Muscle Cells
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on the cellular chemistry and proliferation of C2C12 muscle cell line. The cells were cultured under the condition of AC electrical ... -
The Effects of Arginine on Reproductive Performance in Ewes
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Reproductive performance is the largest determinant of income in the livestock industry. In the U.S. sheep industry, embryonic and fetal deaths during pregnancy account for almost half of the total number of fertilized ... -
The Effects of Caffeine Ingestion on Muscle Cramp Threshold Frequency
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Context: The effects of caffeine on muscle cramp threshold frequency were investigated. Objective: To determine the effect of caffeine on muscle cramp threshold frequency. Design: Randomized Trial. Experimental Design ... -
The Effects of Caffeine on Neurocognitive Function
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of caffeine, as introduced by a popular energy drink, on neurocognitive function. Methods: Twenty-four male participants, 18-28 yrs old, completed two days ... -
Effects of Calcium Based Surface Amendments on Hydraulic Conductivity and Selected Physical Properties of Subsurface Drained Sodic Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Managing excess soil water in agricultural fields in the Northern Great Plains through subsurface drainage increases the risk of sodification in high-risk soils. Leaching sodic soils with low electrical conductivity (EC) ... -
Effects of Competitive and Allelopathic Interactions on Field Pea and Soybean under Organic Management
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Experiments were conducted during 2011 and 2012 at Dickinson Research Extension Center (DREC), ND and at Carrington Research Extension Center (CREC) to understand the effects of competitive and allelopathic interactions ... -
Effects of Corn Condensed Distillers Solubles Supplementation on Intake, Performance, Rate and Site of Digestion, and Ruminal Fermentation in Cattle Consuming Forage-Based Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Two studies were conducted to determine effect of feeding method and level of corn condensed distillers solubles supplementation on performance of beef cows fed forage-based diets and effects on digestibility and ruminal ... -
The Effects of Cultural Dispositions on Behavior in Social Dilemmas: Examining the Impact of Expectations on Cooperation and Competition
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Many groups require cooperation in order to efficiently complete tasks in a manner that benefits all group members. The antecedents of cooperative and competitive behavior have been well studied using a particular class ... -
The Effects of Deregulation on Rail Rates: A Study on Wheat, Barley, Corn, Oat, and Soybean
(North Dakota State University, 2006)Although the original intent of this study was to do a pre-and post-deregulation assessment of rail rates per ton-mile, the results using post-deregulation data show a significant decrease in rail rates between 1981 and ... -
