Natural Flavors: Rhetorical Stories of Food Labels
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
What is in our food? What can food labels tell us about what is in our food? This dissertation applies rhetoric in the everyday human act of reading food labels and making decisions about what to eat based on those labels. ...
Historical and Modern Hard Red Spring Wheat Comparison: Analysis of Proximate, Enzyme Activity, Phenolic Acid, and Starch Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Some claim modern wheat is biochemically different from historic wheat and contributes to chronic diseases. This research was necessary to determine if any significant differences existed between historic and modern hard ...
Iron Biofortification Potential of Field Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Iron (Fe) deficiency affects more than 3 billion of the global population. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the genetic and environmental variation of seed Fe concentration and food matrix factors that ...
Physicochemical Properties of Pre-Harvest Sprouted Hard Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Pre-Harvest Sprouting (PHS) can cause severe economic loss in wheat grown across many areas of the world. Prolonged rainfall before harvest and high temperatures can contribute to the occurrence of PHS. Grain growers prefer ...
Emerging Political Identification of Young Adults
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Research has more than adequately established the importance of the role of parents in the political socialization of young people. However, there is surprisingly little research that examines if and when young people ...
Multidimensional Toggle Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
J. Propp and T. Roby isolated a phenomenon in which a statistic on a set has the same average value over any orbit as its global average, naming it homomesy. One set they investigated was order ideals of partially ordered ...
Some Results on Semicrossed Products and Related Operator Algebras
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
We investigate various properties of two classes of operator algebras: directed graph operator algebras and semicrossed products. First we consider analytic structure in the form of derivations and point derivations on ...
Subfractals Induced by Subshifts
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
In this thesis, a subfractal is the subset of points in the attractor of an iterated function
system in which every point in the subfractal is associated with an allowable word from a subshift
on the underlying symbolic ...
Hypothesis Testing on Time Series Driven by Underlying Lévy Processes, with Machine Learning Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
In this dissertation, we study the testing of hypotheses on streams of observations that are driven by Lévy processes. This is applicable for sequential decision making on the state of two-sensor systems. In one case, each ...
Maximally Edge-Colored Directed Graph Algebras
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Graph C*-algebras are constructed using projections corresponding to the vertices of the graph, and partial isometries corresponding to the edges of the graph. Here, we use the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem to first ...
