Impacts of Supplemental Arginine on Ewe Reproductive Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of injectable and oral arginine (Arg) supplementation provided 14 d post-breeding on reproductive performance of fall lambing ewes. Upon estrus detection (d 0) ewes ...
Influence of Maternal Nutrient Intake on Placental Vascular Function in Pregnant Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Two experiments investigating impacts of maternal nutrition in beef cows were conducted; 1) to test the impact of duration of global nutrient restriction and subsequent realimentation throughout gestation on placentome ...
Body Weight and Adiposity Changes of Obese Gilts Provided Ad Libitum Ground Beef Versus High Carbohydrate Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This study investigated the impact of providing a red meat (GB; cooked ground beef; 63% lean) or high-carbohydrate diet (CON) on growth performance and body composition of obese gilts as a biomedical model for humans. ...
The Use of Behavioral Measures to Quantify Welfare in Dairy Cows and Lambs
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The primary objective of the experiments described in this thesis was to use quantitative behavioral measures of livestock to evaluate animal welfare. In one study, the effects of a therapeutic drug in lame dairy cows were ...
Biophysical Studies of Ligand Binding to Human Histone Deacetylase-8
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Due to an involvement in various patho-physiological conditions, human histone deacetylases (HDACs) are high priority drug targets for the treatment of several diseases, such as cancer, heart failure, neurodegeneration, ...
Characterizing the Roles of Exit Tunnel Residues in Ligand Binding and Catalysis of Histone Deacetylase-8
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Histone deacetylases are an important class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acetyl-L-lysine side chains in histone and non-histone proteins to yield L-lysine and acetate, effecting the epigenetic regulation of ...
Identification of Active Sites in Heterogeneous Catalysis and Surface Chemistry Study of Alkanes Adsorption
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Heterogeneous catalysis is considered the basis of the chemical industry. Surface science investigations on model catalysts have made significant contributions in gaining molecular level understanding of heterogeneously ...
New Strategies for Ruthenium Catalyzed C-C Bond Formation
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation allows direct functionalization of the ubiquitous C-H bonds in organic molecules to increase the molecular complexity. Since Murai's pioneering work in ruthenium catalyzed ...
Stereospecific Phototransformations of Atropisomeric Chromophores
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Photochemical transformations are unique strategy in synthesis that enables us to
access complex and structurally diverse organic scaffolds. However, the challenges in controlling
the excited-state to perform stereoselective ...
Design and Selling Recycled Fashion: Acceptance of Upcycled Secondhand Clothes by Female Consumers, Age 25-65
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Fast fashion offers low prices and lots of choices with the opportunity to binge on fashion. Wardrobes are overflowing, and consumers are considering the options for disposal and recycling of their clothes. Upcyling is one ...
