Effects of Maternal Nutrition on Fructose, Glucose, and Cationic Amino Acid Transporter Expression in Bovine Utero-Placental Tissues from Days 16 to 50 of Gestation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Poor Maternal nutrition has been implicated to reduce nutrient transport to the conceptus. Therefore, we hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact mRNA expression of nutrient transporters GLUT1, ...
Effects of Implanting Strategy and Zilpaterol Hydrochloride on the Calpain Proteolytic System in Sectioned Beef Steaks for Two Time Periods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an anabolic implant and its use with the beta-adrenergic agonist zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) the calpain proteolytic system activity across specific areas of the ...
Effects of Protein Supplement During the Last Third of Pregnancy on Blood Flow to the Mammary Gland in Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Calves born to cows fed a protein supplement during late pregnancy have greater production characteristics compared to calves from cows not supplemented, despite similar birth weights. Our hypothesis was that cows receiving ...
The Effects of Forage Level in Whole or Dry-Rolled Corn Based Diets on Carcass Characteristics, Meat Tenderness, and Meat Color
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The objective of this study was to determine if increasing the forage level and feeding grain whole as opposed to dry-rolled is a feasible alternative to high energy rations with a similar age at time of slaughter. Steers ...
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 ...
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 ...
Novel Synthetic Routes to Complex Amines: the Catalytic Hydroamination of Alkynes and Hydroimination of Allenes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Amines are valuable targets for synthesis in contexts of both research and industrial applications. This work proposes two atom-economical methods—hydroamination (HAM) and hydroimination (HIM)—as C-N bond formation strategies. ...
Prediction of Wort Fermentability in Two-Rowed Barley Genotypes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Fermentability is the parameter that describes the ability of yeast to turn sweet wort into alcohol. As the efficiency of this process is related with alcohol yield, it will regulate the amount of beer produced from a given ...
Photons in Action: Asymmetric Synthesis and Polymer Degradation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Light is an environmentally benign and renewable source of energy that finds wide application in
the field of science. This dissertation explores two areas of chemistry that utilizes light extensively viz.,
asymmetric ...
