Effects of Nutrient Restriction, Realimentation, and Parity on Umbilical Hemodynamics in the Pregnant Ewe
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Sheep are normally managed within grazing systems; forage availability and quality are dependent upon seasonal conditions such as drought and humidity. It is therefore important for producers to know when during gestation ...
The Effect of Vitamin A Restriction on Marbling and Adipogenic Gene Expression in Commercial Angus and Simmental Steers
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Vitamin A (Vit-A) restriction has been shown to increase marbling in cattle. Our hypothesis for this study was that a low Vit-A diet would increase marbling and improve meat quality characteristics while having no effect ...
Efficacy of Various Five-Day Estrous Synchronization Protocols in Sheep
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of various estrous synchronization protocols utilizing the five-day controlled internal drug releasing (CIDR) inserts that are infused with progesterone (P4) alone ...
Data Replication Strategies in Cloud Computing
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Data replication is a widely used technique in various systems. For example, it can be employed in large-scale distributed file systems to increase data availability and system reliability, or it can be used in many network ...
Stereoselective Carbon-Carbon Bond Construction Using Indium and Bismuth: New Methods in Green Chemistry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Selective chemical reactions that can be accomplished with minimal waste using non-toxic catalysts and reagents will allow for new greener chemical processes for future environmentally sustainable technologies. This work ...
Structural Basis for the Regulation of a Conserved TonB-dependent Iron Transport System via Cell-surface Signaling in Gram-negative Bacteria
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cell-surface signaling (CSS) pathways are highly conserved systems in Gram-negative bacteria that allow the cell to efficiently respond to environmental stimuli through transcriptional regulation. Three distinct proteins ...
Atropisomeric Chromophores as Catalysts and Substrates for Asymmetric Light Induced Transformations
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Photochemical transformations hold a unique place as they can provide access to molecules with unique stereochemical and structurally complex scaffolds, thus serving as a complementary approach to thermal transformations. ...
4-Dimethylamino Pyridine (DMAP) Catalyst with Fluxional Chirality: Synthesis and Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Organocatalysis using small organic molecules to catalyze organic transformations, has
emerged as a powerful synthetic tool that is complementary to metal-catalyzed transformations
and remarkably promote stereoselective ...
Biological Effects of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide/Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide Receptor 1 (VPAC1) and VPAC2 on Chemotaxis and its Regulation of the Tumor Suppressor Ikaros in Leukemic T Cells
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
One in three children diagnosed with cancer has leukemia. Leukemia patients with mutations in the tumor suppressor transcription factor Ikaros (IK), an anti-leukemic factor that is critical for the development of blood ...
Attempted Total Syntheses of a Novel Lycopodine-Class Alkaloid and (R)-Myricanol, Compounds for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a significant challenge to both the pharmaceutical world as well as the synthetic organic chemistry world. One of the most important problems in this field is the lack of a unified approach to ...
