Iron Biofortification Potential of Field Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Iron (Fe) deficiency affects more than 3 billion of the global population. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the genetic and environmental variation of seed Fe concentration and food matrix factors that ...
Physicochemical Properties of Pre-Harvest Sprouted Hard Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Pre-Harvest Sprouting (PHS) can cause severe economic loss in wheat grown across many areas of the world. Prolonged rainfall before harvest and high temperatures can contribute to the occurrence of PHS. Grain growers prefer ...
Emerging Political Identification of Young Adults
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Research has more than adequately established the importance of the role of parents in the political socialization of young people. However, there is surprisingly little research that examines if and when young people ...
Multidimensional Toggle Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
J. Propp and T. Roby isolated a phenomenon in which a statistic on a set has the same average value over any orbit as its global average, naming it homomesy. One set they investigated was order ideals of partially ordered ...
Subfractals Induced by Subshifts
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
In this thesis, a subfractal is the subset of points in the attractor of an iterated function
system in which every point in the subfractal is associated with an allowable word from a subshift
on the underlying symbolic ...
Maximally Edge-Colored Directed Graph Algebras
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Graph C*-algebras are constructed using projections corresponding to the vertices of the graph, and partial isometries corresponding to the edges of the graph. Here, we use the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem to first ...
Applications of Groups of Divisibility and a Generalization of Krull Dimension
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Groups of divisibility have played an important role in commutative algebra for many years. In 1932 Wolfgang Krull showed in [12] that every linearly ordered Abelian group can be realized as the group of divisibility of a ...
Sign Matrix Polytopes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Motivated by the study of polytopes formed as the convex hull of permutation matrices and alternating sign matrices, several new families of polytopes are defined as convex hulls of sign matrices, which are certain ...
Optimization Problems Arising in Stability Analysis of Discrete Time Recurrent Neural Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
We consider the method of Reduction of Dissipativity Domain to prove global Lyapunov
stability of Discrete Time Recurrent Neural Networks. The standard and advanced criteria for
Absolute Stability of these essentially ...
NAK for Ext, Ascent of Module Structures, and the Blindness of Extended Modules
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
This dissertation investigates the interplay between properties of Ext modules and ascent of module structures along ring homomorphisms. First, we consider a flat local ring homomorphism ϕ: (R, [special characters omitted], ...
