Use of Biopolymer Entrapped Sulfate Reducing Bacteria and Metal Nanoparticles for Effective Aqueous Sulfate Removal
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) isolated from activated sludge were used to investigate sulfate removal from aqueous solution using calcium alginate entrapped SRB in batch studies with ethanol and lactose as the carbon ...
Multi-Element Fingerprinting of Wetland Soil for Rapid Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Wetland functions and conditions are determined by hydrologic, soil physiochemical, and biotic states. Information obtained from soil analysis can convey wetland history due to hydrologic regime, soil chemical changes, ...
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. ...
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 ...
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Neuromuscular Training Protocol of the Core and Hip Musculature: Effects On Female Athletes' Landing Mechanics
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Landing is a dynamic activity and considered one of the leading causes of noncontact ACL injuries. Poor biomechanics during dynamic activity resulting from neuromuscular imbalances may contribute to ACL injury. The purpose ...
From Bray-Curtis Ordination to Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation: Assessing Anthropogenically-Induced andor Climatically-Induced Changes in Arboreal Ecosystems
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Mapping forest resources is useful for identifying threat patterns and monitoring changes associated with landscapes. Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science techniques are effective tools used to identify and ...
Development and Genetic Regulation of the Novel Abdominal Appendages in the Male Sepsid Fly, Themira Biloba
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Evolutionary novel structures are structures with no known homology. Novel structures often provide a novel function to the organism. Some species of sepsid flies (family Sepsidae) have evolved novel abdominal appendages ...
Alluvial Fans in the McMurdo Dry Valleys: A Proxy for Melting Along Terrestrial Margins of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Surface melting along Antarctic ice sheet margins is the most poorly understood input in models of future sea level rise. Alluvial fans in the McMurdo Dry Valleys originate from meltwater produced from high-elevation ...
Interactions between Ultraviolet Light and Soybean Aphid, Aphis Glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Global increases in ultraviolet (UV) radiation have led to greater interest in its current and potential effects on organisms, including insects and plants. Here we report the short-term effects of UV on soybean aphids ...
Plasma and Electrolyte Changes in Humans Following Ingestion of Multiple Boluses of Pickle Juice Associated with Exercise
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
No experimental research has examined the effect of drinking multiple boluses of pickle juice (PJ) on the same day, nor has its ingestion been examined during exercise. Additionally there are fears that PJ supplementation ...
