Risk Balancing in the Banking Sector
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Policies to help banks reduce risks could have a null effect or completely opposite effect because firms exhibit a preferred risk level. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of risk balancing in the banking ...
Technical and Economic Assessments of Storage Techniques for Long-term Retention of Industrial-beet Sugar for Non-food Industrial Fermentations
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Industrial beets may compete against corn grain as an important source of sugars for non-food industrial fermentations. However, dependable and energy-efficient systems for beet sugar storage and processing are necessary ...
Pilot Scale Production, Characterization, and Optimization of Epoxidized Vegetable Oil-Based Resin
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Novel epoxidized sucrose soyate (ESS) resins perform much better than other vegetable
oil-based resins; thus, they are of current interest for commercial scale production and for a wide
range of applications in coatings ...
Bioavailability and Biodegradability of Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Originated From Municipal and Animal Wastewater
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Due to the increased concern on dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in surface waters, it is necessary to understand the biodegradability and bioavailability of DON in point and non-point sources. In this study, algae and ...
Evaluation of Different Techniques to Control Hydrogen Sulfide and Greenhouse Gases from Animal Production Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The livestock manure management sector is one of the prime sources for the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutant gases such as ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which may affect the human health, ...
Effects of Maternal Nutrition During Gestation on Viscera Energy Use in Ruminant Dams and Offspring and Hypothalamic Neurohormone Content in the Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The extensive use of grazing systems for ruminant livestock and the high variation in forage quality throughout the year have important impacts on production. Changes in feed quality and availability cause alteration in ...
Evaluation of Glycated Albumin as a Metabolic Marker for Marbling in Commercial Feeder Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This study was conducted to determine if glycated albumin is associated with marbling in beef cattle. Crossbred steers (n=113) were assigned randomly to different treatments to determine the effects of feeding strategies ...
Characteristics of Health Parameters and the Digital Cushion in Horses
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Studies examining lameness conditions and health concerns for horse owners are
important for education and future research. To investigate this, a survey and two studies were
conducted. For the survey, a total of 152 ...
Effects of Corn Condensed Distillers Solubles Supplementation on Intake, Performance, Rate and Site of Digestion, and Ruminal Fermentation in Cattle Consuming Forage-Based Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Two studies were conducted to determine effect of feeding method and level of corn condensed distillers solubles supplementation on performance of beef cows fed forage-based diets and effects on digestibility and ruminal ...
Role of Lipotropic (Methyl) Nutrients on Mammary Development and Carcinogenesis in Female Rat Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Lipotropes (methionine, choline, folate, and vitamin B12) play a key role in one-carbon metabolism. We hypothesized that maternal methyl (lipotropic) nutrients would induce epigenetic modification that influences mammary ...
