Expression of HIF-1 Alpha and HIF-1 Beta in Insects Throughout Juvenile Development
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Insects grow exponentially from hatching to adult. This growth is punctuated by periodic molts during which the exoskeleton, including the large airways of the respiratory system, is enlarged and replaced. Major tracheae ... -
Extending the Diffusion Model in Risk Communication: A Case Study of Risk in a Public Health Campaign
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Everett Rogers' (2003) diffusion model provided a theoretical framework through which to measure change among publics. However, use of Rogers' diffusion model can lead to research shortcomings such as lack of consequence ... -
External Ankle Supports Alter Kinematics and Kinetics during Drop-Jump Landing and Forward-Jump Landing Tasks
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This research project was designed to understand the influence of excessively restricting ankle range of motion (ROM) on knee injuries, especially non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Participating in physical ... -
Extracting Carotenoids from Corn Industry Coproducts
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Two experiments were completed to develop methods for extracting xanthophylls from corn industry co-products, post fermentation (PF) corn oil and corn gluten meal (CGM). A solid phase extraction (SPE) method was used to ... -
Extracting Useful Information and Building Predictive Models from Medical and Health-Care Data Using Machine Learning Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In healthcare, a large number of medical data has emerged. To effectively use these data to improve healthcare outcomes, clinicians need to identify the relevant measures and apply the correct analysis methods for the type ... -
Extraction of Electromagnetic Properties of Metamaterials with Branch Compensation from Phase Tracking
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In the field of electromagnetism, there are materials known as metamaterials which exhibit unique properties that can be exploited. Permittivity, defined as capacitance per meter, of a metamaterial can vary over frequency ... -
Fabrication and Characterization of Antifungal Essential Oil-In-Water Nanoemulsion Delivery System Targeting Fusarium Graminearum In Vitro and During the Malting Process
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Fusarium mycotoxins represent the most food safety concern for the malting industry. The complete prevention of Fusarium mycotoxins in the grains by limiting toxigenic fungi in the field and during storage is not practical. ... -
Fabrication and Mechanical Characterization of Novel Hybrid Carbon-Fiber/Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Toughening/Self-Repairing Nanofibers at Interfaces
(North Dakota State University, 2012)This research was aimed at fabrication and characterization of novel hybrid carbon-fiber/epoxy composites reinforced with toughening/self-repairing nanofibers at interfaces. For interfacial toughening, continuous electrospun ... -
Facial Expression Recognition in People with Differing Levels of Eating Disorder Symptoms
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Previous studies of emotion categorization abilities of people with eating disorders used accuracy and reaction time to identify performance deficits for these individuals. The conclusions from this literature have been ... -
Facilitating Attentional Guidance in Driving Scenes: Adult Age Differences in the Effectiveness of Directional Cues
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Aging negatively impacts multiple processes of visual attention that can influence driving performance and safety. However, spatial orienting in response to visual cues remains relatively intact into late adulthood. The ... -
Facility for Industrial Technology and Power Generation
(North Dakota State University, 2005)The University of Minnesota is currently among the top four leaders in the nation for industrial and mechanical engineering research. Their demand for innovative testing and research facilities grows as new discoveries ... -
Facing Death in The Book Thief: Confronting the Real of the Holocaust and Mortality
(North Dakota State University, 2018)This paper examines the personification of Death in The Book Thief and its impact on young adult readers using Slavoj Žižek’s analysis of the Real and Hayden White’s discussion of how history and its representations in ... -
Factors Affecting Establishment and Growth of Cover Crops in a Corn-Soybean Rotation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In the Midwest, it can be beneficial to interseed cover crops into corn (Zea mays L.) since there is a limited time for them to establish and grow after corn harvest. Research conducted in four environments in North Dakota ... -
Factors Affecting Grapevine Establishment in Northern Production Regions
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Two experiments were conducted to detect differences in growth and cold hardiness during establishment of northern grown wine grapevines. One experiment tested the use of four grow tube treatments and two pruning levels ... -
Factors Affecting Metabolism During Non-Feeding Stages in Insects
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Although feeding is important for optimal development and growth in insects, there are several points during the insect life cycle that are non-feeding: metamorphosis, pupation, and overwintering. Non-feeding periods also ... -
Factors Affecting Soil Total Mercury, Carbon and Nitrogen Distributions in Seasonal Pond Basins within a Northern Hardwood Forest in Minnesota, USA
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Forests are sites for mercury deposition, where accumulation in aquatic environments can occur. Soil total mercury (THg), C and N to 15 cm were studied in ten seasonal pond basins in a northern hardwood forest (Minnesota, ... -
Factors Affecting Testicular Growth and Development in the Beef Bull
(North Dakota State University, 2019)At present no single parameter can predict potential daily sperm production (DSP) in bulls. Sertoli cells (SC) are responsible for nourishing and providing physical support to germ cells (GC) throughout spermatogenesis. ... -
Factors Associated with Collaboration in Disaster Response
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This paper explores the factors the literature suggests help organizations collaborate during disaster response. The nature of disasters requires that people and organizations collaborate; yet, collaboration has been ... -
