Investigating the Role of BECN1 Conformationally Flexible Regions and Invariant Cys-x-x-Cys Motifs in Autophagy
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Autophagy is an essential catabolic cellular homeostasis process conserved in all eukaryotes. BECN1, a key autophagy protein involved in autophagosome nucleation, comprises of a large, poorly conserved, N-terminal intrinsically ...
Designing Ru Catalysts for Selective C-H Bond Oxidation Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Typically, C-H bond oxidation proceeds via formation of high-valent metal oxo species. Attaining a high oxidation state of the metal complex is critical as it is the key step for many catalytic processes. Understanding ...
Effects of nest site environment and timing of breeding on reproductive success in Franklin's gulls (Larus pipixcan)
(North Dakota State University, 2009)
Offspring performance and phenotype are affected by genotype and environment, which in birds includes yolk resources (part of the embryonic environment). Female colony nesting birds may influence offspring competitive ...
Farming Democracy: American Agricultural Policy from the Great War to the Great Society
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In the days of the early republic, agriculture provided more than just an economic foundation; it shaped the country socially, and politically, too. Thomas Jefferson and others wrote at length of the role farming played ...
Development of Bio-based Wood Adhesive by Using Cellulose Nanofiber Reinforcement and Crosslinking Agent for Improved Bonding Strength
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Engineered woods, plywood, particle board, and oriented strand board, are widely used as a low-cost wood replacement in many applications. Many of the currently used wood adhesives contain chemicals that are harmful to ...
Mapping Ur-6, a Bean Rust Resistance Gene in Common Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Bean rust, caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.:Pers) Unger, is a disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) prevalent in the Americas and Africa. The most cost-effective countermeasure to bean rust is ...
Bat Population Monitoring in National Parks of The Great Lakes Region and Evaluation of Bat Acoustic Analysis Software
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
North American bats face multiple threats, prompting an increase in bat research and conservation efforts in recent decades. Researchers often use acoustic monitoring, which entails recording bats’ echolocation calls and ...
Migratory Ecology and Wing Morphology of North Dakota Bats
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Understanding links between a species’ migratory behavior, wing morphology, and foraging strategy can provide insight into factors driving the evolution of behavioral and ecological responses. The first chapter of this ...
Survival Analysis of Treatment Effect For Brain Cancer Based on The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data from the National Cancer Institute is a population based cancer registry, which geographically ...
Relationship Between Students' Autonomy and Career Readiness
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
While colleges and universities have historically emphasized holistic education, employers continue to be concerned that students are missing core elements of the non-technical skills which are necessary to be successful ...
