Current Supplementation Recommendations for Vitamin D Intake in Pregnancy; What Research Says after 2011
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Vitamin D (vit. D) deficiency is common during pregnancy (Holick, et al., 2011). Supplementation of vit. D has shown to protect against complications and adverse outcomes during pregnancy (De-Regil LM, 2016). A comprehensive ...
Roosevelt, Ranches, and Resources: Theodore Roosevelt National Park's Search for a Balance Between Human and Natural History
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
National parks share the same challenge debating the significance of their cultural and natural resources. In the past, many parks decided to emphasize the value of natural resources over that of their human histories. ...
Katharina Schütz Zell: The Religious Vocation of a Female Reformer in Sixteenth-Century Strasbourg
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Katharina Schütz Zell lived in the free imperial city of Strasbourg during the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century. Commitment to a lifelong faith led Katharina to embrace early protestant beliefs: salvation ...
The Woman’s Club of Moorhead 1868-1946
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Far from upholding the domestic ideal of the Victorian Era, the Moorhead Woman’s Club helped establish the first public library in the city and strove for changes in education through active engagement in the public “sphere.” ...
Evaluating Mechanisms of Metastasis of Prostate Cancer to Bone Using 3D Bone-Mimetic Tissue Engineered Scaffolds
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The complex nature of cancer metastasis necessitates the development of a cancer model based on specific metastatic stages. In this dissertation, we report a polymer-nanoclay based in vitro tumor model which recapitulates ...
Understanding Students’ Perceptions of Difficulty and the Effect Difficulty Has on Mathematical Anxiety
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
There exists a growing atmosphere surrounding mathematics that allows individuals to exclaim their belief they are deficient in math without any societal judgement. Compared to a state like being illiterate, we have reached ...
Development of an Anti-Corrosion Thermally Sprayed Coating System for Oil and Gas Transmission Pipeline
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Corrosion, a leading cause of failure in metallic transmission pipelines, significantly impacts the reliability and safety of metallic pipelines. To prevent and mitigate pipeline corrosion, various non-metallic coatings ...
Potential Applications of Flax Fibers
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
There has been a substantial increase in the usage of natural-fibers and biodegradable polymers due to the needs of the environmental sustainability. The use of natural fibers is inclusive of wide range of applications in ...
Unsteady Aerodynamics and Turbulent Near-Wake Characterization of Static and Rotating Cylinder Sytems
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
External flows around bluff bodies have been broadly investigated due to their great importance in engineering applications including aircraft and missile development, marine and naval structures, vehicle aerodynamics, ...
Characterization of Regenerated Silk Material for Biomimetic Spinning and Film Casting
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Natural silks produced by spiders and silkworms exhibit tailorable mechanical performance yet to be achieved synthetically. This phenomenon is derived from a biological system that has been evolutionarily optimized. In ...
