The Effects of Kinesio® Tape on Acromiohumeral Distance in Patients with Subacromial Impingement
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Kinesio® Tape has the potential to optimize the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome. This research project investigated the effect Kinesio® Tape has on patient-reported outcome measures and acromiohumeral distance ... -
The Effects of Late Gestational Exercise on Colostrum Quality and Neonatal Immunoglobulin Absorption
(North Dakota State University, 2021)To investigate the effects that late gestational exercise has on ewe performance and colostrum IgG levels, and to evaluate how it impacts neonatal serum IgG absorption and future performance, thirty-two multiparous Dorset ... -
Effects of Linseed Meal on Growth and Reproductive Performance in Ruminants
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Linseed meal (LSM) was fed to ovariectomized ewes exposed to estradiol 17-ß (E2) implants over time, and LSM was supplemented to beef cows during late gestation and early lactation to evaluate the estrogenic potential ... -
Effects of Major Flooding on Water and Sediment Characteristics in an Urban Enviromnent
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Spring flooding of the Red River of the North is a common phenomenon, but no infonnation exits on how these flooding events impact both water and sediment quality within an urban area. The objectives of this study were ... -
The Effects of Maternal Diet on Passive Transfer of Immunity to the Neonatal Beef Calf, and Calf Immune Response to Vaccination and Immunostimulants
(North Dakota State University, 2018)To investigate the effects of maternal diet on passive transfer of immunity to the neonatal beef calf, and calf immune response to vaccination and immunostimulants, three experiments (Exp.) were completed. Results from ... -
Effects of Maternal Nutrition During Gestation on Viscera Energy Use in Ruminant Dams and Offspring and Hypothalamic Neurohormone Content in the Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The extensive use of grazing systems for ruminant livestock and the high variation in forage quality throughout the year have important impacts on production. Changes in feed quality and availability cause alteration in ... -
Effects of Maternal Nutrition on Fructose, Glucose, and Cationic Amino Acid Transporter Expression in Bovine Utero-Placental Tissues from Days 16 to 50 of Gestation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Poor Maternal nutrition has been implicated to reduce nutrient transport to the conceptus. Therefore, we hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact mRNA expression of nutrient transporters GLUT1, ... -
Effects of Maternal Nutrition, Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), and Estrogen (E2) Supplementation on Placental and Fetal Intestinal Growth and Development in Sheep
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The placenta and fetal intestines are two key nutrient transport organs that sustain and nurture growing fetus. Insufficient placental development and consequently inadequate fetal nutrient supply can lead to IUGR resulting ... -
The Effects of Metabolizable Protein Intake and Post-Ruminal Flow of Amino Acids on Growth Performance and Pancreatic Digestive Enzymes in Steers
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Excessive dietary protein may affect MP use because of energetic costs of excreting excess N. Amino acids also may influence post-ruminal digestion. Therefore, two experiments were designed to evaluate the effects of MP ... -
Effects of Nano Silica and Basalt Fibers on Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Concrete
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Emission of carbon dioxide gas has been a source of major concern for the construction industry. To curb this emission, geopolymer concrete has been deemed as a potential alternative in the recent studies. Previous research ... -
Effects of Nanoscale Zero-valent iron (nZVI) on Bacterial Viability: Roles of Growth Phases and Oxidative Stress
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The effect of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles on bacteria from different growth phases was studied. Four bacterial strains including Escherichia coli strains JMI09 and BW25 l l 3, and Pseudomonas putida strains ... -
Effects of nest site environment and timing of breeding on reproductive success in Franklin's gulls (Larus pipixcan)
(North Dakota State University, 2009)Offspring performance and phenotype are affected by genotype and environment, which in birds includes yolk resources (part of the embryonic environment). Female colony nesting birds may influence offspring competitive ... -
Effects of Nutrient Restriction, Realimentation, and Parity on Umbilical Hemodynamics in the Pregnant Ewe
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Sheep are normally managed within grazing systems; forage availability and quality are dependent upon seasonal conditions such as drought and humidity. It is therefore important for producers to know when during gestation ... -
Effects of Nutrient Restriction, Realimentation, and Twinning on Plasma Volume, Umbilical Hemodynamics and Placental Characteristics in the Pregnant Adolescent Ewe
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Reproductive physiology in production animals is a key economic component of longevity and profitability of animal farming. There are several components that can benefit or compromise adequate pregnancy periods. Sheep ... -
Effects of Nutrition Education and Fruit and Vegetable Consumption on Knowledge of Antioxidants and Biomarkers of Inflammation and Chronic Disease
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Obesity rates have reached epidemic proportions contributing to the majority of Americans experiencing a state of chronic inflammation. Associations between inflammation, oxidative stress, and increased disease risk ... -
Effects of Pasteurization (Heating) on Milled Flaxseed Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Current food industry practices include the use of pasteurization (heat treatment) as a means to reduce the microbial counts of flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum). Flaxseed was pasteurized using a dry air heat treatment of 148 ... -
Effects of Phylogenetic Tree Style on Student Comprehension
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Phylogenetic trees are powerful tools of evolutionary biology that have become prominent across the life sciences. Consequently, learning to interpret and reason from phylogenetic trees is now an essential component of ... -
Effects of Pretreatments on Separating the Seed Coat from the Cotyledon of Black Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Separation of seed coat from the cotyledon could result in an additional black bean food ingredient. The objective of this study was to develop a standard milling procedure that can achieve optimum seed coat removal from ... -
