High School Coach Nutrition Confidence and Skill
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
High school athletes obtain nutritional information from their coaches, yet high school coaches’ capability in this area may be lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine both confidence and skill level ...
The Role of Flaxseed in the Expression of DNA Methyltransferases, Leptin, and Peroxisome Prolifterator-Activated Receptor Alpha in an Obese Animal Model
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Diet-induced obesity (DIO) has been shown to increase DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)
expression and DNMT binding at obesity-associated genes. Natural compounds have the
potential to reverse obesity-associated gene expression ...
Evaluation of a Nutrition and Physical Activity-Based Curriculum on Children’s Lifestyle Choices
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This study assessed the effectiveness of the “On the Move to Better Health” program, specifically whether it promoted 4th to 6th grade North Dakota students, as well as their families, to make healthier lifestyle choices. ...
The Effects of a Mini-Band Warm-Up, a Medicine Ball Warm-Up and Static Stretching on Lower Body Power
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of four different warm-up conditions on vertical jump performance. The warm-ups included a static stretching routine, dynamic medicine ball routine, mini-band routine, ...
Biogeochemistry of Wet Ecosystems from Root Zone to Landscape
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The biogeochemistry of wetland ecosystems varies, causing them to act as sources, sinks, filters or transformers of nutrients and pollutants. Wetland plants play important roles in the cycling of elements in wet ecosystems. ...
Processing Trade-offs in a Cellulosic Biorefinery
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Commercial scale cellulosic biorefineries face significant challenges to produce low-cost fermentable sugar from biomass. Biorefinery processing steps are interrelated and trade-offs between process parameters impact the ...
Ecological and Sociological Considerations of Wind Energy: A Multidisciplinary Study
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Wind energy is quickly becoming a critical technology for providing Americans with renewable energy, and rapid construction of wind facilities may have impacts on both wildlife and human communities. Understanding both the ...
From Bray-Curtis Ordination to Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation: Assessing Anthropogenically-Induced andor Climatically-Induced Changes in Arboreal Ecosystems
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Mapping forest resources is useful for identifying threat patterns and monitoring changes associated with landscapes. Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science techniques are effective tools used to identify and ...
Attenuation of Nitrate from Simulated Agricultural Wastewater Using an Immobilized Anaerobic Biofilm
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
A number of methods are currently in use for attenuating nitrates from wastewater with varying degrees of efficiency. Bioremediation using bacteria may be an efficient and cost effective method. In an anaerobic bioremediation ...
Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Bats in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Habitat use is a key component to understanding the conservation needs of species. While an array of quantitative analyses for studying fine-scale habitat use and selection have been developed, such methods have rarely ...
