The Tyger and the Lamb: Exploring the Relationship Between Text and Music in Selected Contemporary Choral Settings of Two Poems by William Blake (1757-1827)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Texts have been influencing composers of choral music for centuries. Some
composers manipulate the text through the use of form and compositional technique,
whereas others rely on highlighting specific words. Still others ...
Identification and Characterization of Binding Target Proteins of Cancer Stem Cell Inhibitor Salinomycin in Human Neuroblastoma
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Salinomycin, a widely used anti-coccidial agent, was recently identified as a cancer stem cell (CSC) inhibitor from a library of 16,000 natural and commercial chemical compounds based on its highly selective inhibitory ...
Epigenetic Regulation of Apoptosis in Prostate Cancer
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is the catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive
complex 2 and suppresses gene expression by catalyzing histone H3 methylation on lysine 27.
EZH2 is overexpressed in metastatic ...
Buckling Instabilities of Nanoscale Polymer Films and Colloidal Particle Layers
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Nanoscale polymer films have numerous potential applications such as protective
coatings, flexible electronics, energy harvesting devices, and drug delivery systems. For
realization of these potential applications, the ...
The Nature of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube-Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Since their inception in 2007, nanotube-silicon heterojunction solar cells have experienced rapid improvement due to the diligent work of several research groups. These devices have quickly reached a point where they might ...
Genetic and Molecular Characterization of Genes Involved in Barley-Cochliobolus Sativus Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Spot blotch caused by ascomycete fungus Cochliobolus sativus (Ito & Kurib.) Drechs. ex Dastur. [anamorph: Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoem.] is one of the most common and economically important diseases on barley. To ...
Sensitivity of Rhizoctonia Solani and Aphanomyces Cochlioides to Fungicides, and Fitness of Tetraconazole-Resistant Isolates of Cercospora Beticola after Exposure to Different Temperature Regimes
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
North Dakota and Minnesota produce 55% of USA sugarbeet production. Diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Aphanomyces cochlioides, and Cercospora beticola are the major diseases affecting sugarbeet production in North ...
Characterization of Programmed Cell Death Responses Involved in Disease Resistance/Susceptibility Responses in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The plant innate immune system relies on regulated programmed cell death (PCD) responses which provide resistance against biotrophic fungal pathogens and are utilized by necrotrophic pathogens. The gene-for-gene interactions ...
Characterizing Pyrenophora Teres F. Maculata in the Northern United States and Impact of Spot Form Net Blotch on Yield of Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Pyrenophora teres f. maculata causes spot form net blotch (SFNB) on barley and was recently documented in North Dakota. The impact of SFNB on barley, the genetic diversity of the pathogen, and virulence structure are unknown ...
Thermodynamic and Kinetic Modeling of Mixed Lipid Membranes and their Interaction with Macromolecules
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Mixed lipid membranes play a crucial role in numerous cellular processes and pharmaceutical applications. Fully understanding the interactions between membranes and biomacromolecules is not possible without gaining insight ...
