Characterization of Edible Bean Flours: Properties and Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Consumption of pulses is considered part of a healthy diet. Therefore, the opportunity exists for development of new pulse-based ingredients. However, a better understanding of their properties is necessary. The compositional ...
Supramolecular Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess extraordinary mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity. These properties make them very attractive in many applications in the fields of nanotechnology, ...
Stereospecific Photochemical Transformations Involving Axially Chiral Acrylanilides and a-Oxoamides
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Asymmetric photochemical transformations have been under-explored due to the ineffectiveness of conventional methodologies/reagents/catalysts (point chiral auxiliaries and inductors) that were generally employed for thermal ...
From Nanocontainer to Nanocatalyst: Mechanistic Studies of [2+2] Photodimerization of Coumarin Derivatives within Cucubit[8]URIL
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Controlling photoreactions remains a formidable challenge to chemists who have developed several approaches with varying degrees of success to achieve high reactivity/selectivity. Following nature's footprints, chemists ...
Mechanistic Studies on the Methionine Aminopeptidase and Peptide Deformylase Catalyzed Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
In the search for novel antibiotic and therapeutic targets, methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) and peptide deformylase (PDF) have recently been identified as eminently compelling. These enzymes are involved in the ...
Exciton Diffusion, Transport, and Localization in Conjugated Polymers
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Conjugated polymers are wide bandgap semiconductors which have a series of conjugated π-orbitals that extend along the polymer ‘backbone’. The π-orbital conjugation can be disrupted by twisting of the polymer, affecting ...
Identification of Novel RPA-Protein Interactions Using the Yeast Two Hybrid Assay and Identification of Regions Important for Interaction Between RPA and Rad24
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Replication Protein A (RPA) [Replication Factor A (RFA) in yeast] is an ssDNA binding protein
composed of Rpa1, Rpa2, and Rpa3 and involved in numerous DNA processing pathways such as
Replication, Recombination, and Repair. ...
Supply Chain Management and Lean Six Sigma in a Retail Environment
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
This qualitative research evaluated the as-is supply chain management and logistics retail processes of Dell, a manufacturing company that also has retail operations globally. Dell has an online channel capable of serving ...
Improving Diabetes Merchandising, One Shelf at a Time
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The outcome of this study is to propose more-effective ways to merchandise diabetes products, with a cross-merchandised approach that provides education and a better in-store experience for shoppers. This research aims to ...
Stereotype Threat in the Introductory Science Classroom: Investigating Its Existence and Triggers
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Research in undergraduate education has documented achievement gaps between men and women in math and physics that may reflect, in part, a response to perceived stereotype threat. My research efforts aimed to reduce ...
