The Evolution and Development of a Novel Trait in Sepsidae
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Evolutionary novelty, the appearance of new traits with no existing homology, is central to the adaptive radiation of new species. Novel traits inform our understanding of development and how developmental mechanisms can ...
Expression of HIF-1 Alpha and HIF-1 Beta in Insects Throughout Juvenile Development
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Insects grow exponentially from hatching to adult. This growth is punctuated by periodic molts during which the exoskeleton, including the large airways of the respiratory system, is enlarged and replaced. Major tracheae ...
Population Dynamics and Management Implications for American White Pelicans (Pelecanus Erythrorhynchos) Breeding at Marsh Lake, Lac Qui Parle Wildlife Management Area, Minnesota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a prominent breeding bird in Minnesota, but little information has been available on their production, population dynamics, growth and development, or demographic ...
Whole Wheat Milling and Baking Studies of Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
End product quality of whole wheat bread is affected by many complex parameters. The milling method and chemical composition of bran both affect whole wheat bread quality. When using a centrifugal mill, the combination of ...
Hard Red Spring Wheat Quality Evaluation with Various Roller Mill Types and Breadmaking Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Roller mill type and breadmaking methods might be a source of variation in the evaluation of the end-use quality of Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat. In this study, various roller mill types and baking methods have been used ...
Ligand Binding and Catalysis in Selected Sirtuin Isozymes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Due to their intimate roles in survival, longevity as well as pathogenesis via “epigenetic” and “metabolic” regulatory mechanisms, sirtuins have gained considerable interest toward undertaking detailed biochemical/biophysical ...
GFRP Bars in Concrete toward Corrosion-free RC Structures: Bond Behavior, Characterization, and Long-term Durability Prediction
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Corrosion of steel reinforcements is the leading causes of malfunction or even failures of reinforced concrete (RC) structures nationwide and worldwide for many decades. This arises up to substantial economic burden on ...
The Role of Algal Species on Phosphorus Bioavailability in Secondary Wastewater Effluents
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient responsible for the eutrophication of surface waters and marine coasts. Wastewater treatment technologies are being stressed to achieve low P effluents and national effluent P limits ...
Dispersion Effectiveness of Carbon Nanotube Additives in Self-sensing Cementitious Materials for Structural Health Monitoring
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The use of self-sensing materials such as piezo-resistive cementitious materials modified by carbon nanotube (CNTs) additives may be able to achieve a potential real time structural health monitoring in structures. However, ...
Development of Passenger Car Equivalency Values for Heavy Vehicles for Protected Left-Turn Movements at Signalized Intersections
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) provides methods to account for the impact of heavy vehicles in the operational assessment and design of signalized intersections. However, the overall impact of heavy vehicles on the ...
