Gender, Faith, and Holistism as Prophetic Vision the Legacy of Hildegard Von Bingen's Rhetoric of 'Marriage of God'
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th century German Catholic nun, became one of the most influential voices in a time when women, especially in the realm of religion, were suppressed. Yet, Hildegard overcame these suppressions ... -
Gene Expression and Evolution in Escherichia Coli Biofilm
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Biofilms can be defined as a complex aggregation of bacterial communities that involves many gene regulatory mechanisms, as well as evolutionary processes to increase biodiversity. Specific Aim 1 used a gene regulation ... -
Gene Expression Associated with Wound and Native Periderm Maturation in Potato Tubers
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's fourth largest food crop and large financial losses are incurred each year from wound and bruise related injuries. However, little is known about the coordinate induction of ... -
Gene Regulation in Biofilms
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Sessile bacterial communities which form on the solid surface or solid-liquid interface are known as biofilms. Both single species and multispecies biofilms are characterized by an extracellular matrix of polymeric ... -
A General Framework for Developing Multi-Surface Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Since multi-touch technique has been used widely for personal device, such as smartphone, personal computer and tabletop, many forms of interaction are developed and served for user’s daily usage. But forms of interaction ... -
Generation and Analysis of Streamwise Vortices from Vortex Tube Apparatus
(North Dakota State University, 2020)A pressurized vortex tube is used to generate streamwise vortices in a wind tunnel and the resulting flow behavior is analyzed. The apparatus is intended to verify computational data from the AFRL by offering a method of ... -
Generative Fathering and Married Adult Children's View of Connectedness between their Fathers and Themselves
(North Dakota State University, 2011)This study utilized a phenomenological approach to examine adult children's views of how their fathers connected with them as children. Participants consisted of 10 men and 12 women between the ages of 30 and 60 who were ... -
The Genesis Project : exploring the convergence of architecture, music, & life
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Music is an innate human quality that provokes physical, mental, and spiritual responses both consciously and subconsciously, and consequently, has the capacity to change the environment. Architecture can be designed as a ... -
Genetic Analysis of Frost Tolerance in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica Napus L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Frost can be detrimental to canola (Brassica napus L.) production. Depending on the severity, the entire field can be killed. Having frost tolerance in canola would benefit growers by allowing them to plant early, utilize ... -
Genetic and Environmental Variation on Mineral Nutrient Concentration in Pea and Lentil Seed
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Current food supply is expected to be insufficient to support the growing population both in quantity and nutritional quality; therefore, the need to breed for higher yield and greater nutritional quality is urgent. ... -
Genetic and Molecular Characterization of Genes Involved in Barley-Cochliobolus Sativus Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Spot blotch caused by ascomycete fungus Cochliobolus sativus (Ito & Kurib.) Drechs. ex Dastur. [anamorph: Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoem.] is one of the most common and economically important diseases on barley. To ... -
