Ochratoxin A and Ochratoxigenic Fungi in Freshly Harvested and Stored Barley and Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxin produced both prior to harvest and during storage by Penicillium and Aspergillus species in a variety of commodities. Although several studies have been conducted in Europe and Canada examining ...
Examination of the Period of Preparation for Breeding in Male and Female Songbirds
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
In virtually all species, reproduction must be precisely timed to coordinate breeding and rearing of offspring with favorable conditions. It is imperative for individuals to time the highest energetic cost to themselves ...
Synthesis and Antioxidant, Anticancer, and Antimicrobial Activities of Palmityl Ester Derivative of Carnosic Acid
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Carnosic acid (CA) along with carnosol (CAR) is the strongest phenolic diterpene antioxidants (PDAs) present in rosemary plant. However, CA has low antioxidant activity in emulsion-type food system due to its polar nature. ...
Chironomids Then and Now: Climate Change Effects on a Tundra Food Web in the Alaskan Arctic
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Although climate change is a global phenomenon, the Arctic is warming faster than any other region on earth. These climatic changes have driven rapid regional changes over the past half-century in both the physical landscape ...
Understanding the Relationships between Plant Communities, Fish Communities, and Sediment Chemistry in Pristine Shallow Lake Wetlands, Red Lake, MN
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Over 90% wetland loss in many areas of the United States has triggered extreme concern for declining biodiversity and loss of ecosystem services. Studies assessing ecological characteristics of unaltered wetlands are ...
Sperm Telomere Dynamics: Natural Variation and Sensitivity to Environmental Influences in House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to variation in lifespan is of central importance to diverse fields including life history theory. Although the causes of aging are not fully understood, telomere dynamics (length ...
Identification and Characterization of Fibrous Zeolites in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The fibrous zeolite mineral erionite is a concern due to its potential for causing lung disease in humans. Studies have shown that exposure to altered volcanic bedrock containing erionite may be the explanation for a high ...
The "Fathead Minnow Factory": Exploring How a Changing Climate Has Influenced Fish and Salamander Communities in the Prairie Pothole Region
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Global climate change has been linked to changing many ecosystem processes. Early
literature on climate change and biological systems predominately focused on individual species
responses to temperature gradients. However, ...
Total Glucosinolate Preservation and Near Infrared Prediction in Rapeseed Meal
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Glucosinolates (GLS) and their hydrolysis products are of great food and feed safety concern because they are responsible for both the beneficial and harmful properties of GLS-containing plants. Understanding GLS storage ...
The Occurrence of Shiga-Toxin Producing Escherichia Coli (Stec) and Salmonella Species in Cattle Feedlot Runoff
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Zoonotic foodborne pathogens such as shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC)
and Salmonella on farm environments can potentially contaminate organic manure or
agricultural watersheds and subsequently fresh produce ...
