Phytic Acid Enriched Biobased Membranes for Lead Ion Removal From Water
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Pollution by heavy metals, such as lead (Pb), in bodies of water is a serious problem today that poses great risk to human health and the environment. In this study, cellulose-acetate (CA) based membranes were synthesized ...
Propensity Score and Survival Analysis for Lung Cancer
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Propensity scores were used to assess covariate balance between black and white groups in each lung cancer stage of a large data set. Pairwise log rank tests were used to test the equality of survival distribution for ...
Investigating the Role of BECN1 Conformationally Flexible Regions and Invariant Cys-x-x-Cys Motifs in Autophagy
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Autophagy is an essential catabolic cellular homeostasis process conserved in all eukaryotes. BECN1, a key autophagy protein involved in autophagosome nucleation, comprises of a large, poorly conserved, N-terminal intrinsically ...
The Thiol-ene Encapsulation and Photo-physical Characterization of Colloidal Silicon Nanocrystals Synthesized with Si6H12 Using Non-thermal Plasma Reactor
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) are nanometer-sized semiconducting materials. Their small size endows them with unique photophysical properties. Efficient photoluminescence (PL) from silicon nanocrystal (SiNC) composites has ...
Designing Ru Catalysts for Selective C-H Bond Oxidation Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Typically, C-H bond oxidation proceeds via formation of high-valent metal oxo species. Attaining a high oxidation state of the metal complex is critical as it is the key step for many catalytic processes. Understanding ...
A Spectral Two Sample Test
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
In statistics, two-sample tests are commonly desired under many topics. It's crucial to differentiate populations as a prerequisite for developing further analysis. A number of statistical tests have been developed for ...
VIP Induces Snail1, A Master EMT Regulator: Upregulation in A375 Cancer Cells
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
VIP is neurotransmitter with pleiotropic functions in mammals. It is expressed by a large number of tissues, including the CNS, PNS, innate and adaptive immune systems. VIP has two endogenous G-protein coupled receptors, ...
Dangerous Silences: South Asian Immigrant Women and the Threat of Domestic Violence
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Immigrant women coming from South Asian countries to countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada are often shocked when they become victims of domestic violence at the hands of their sole ...
Farming Democracy: American Agricultural Policy from the Great War to the Great Society
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In the days of the early republic, agriculture provided more than just an economic foundation; it shaped the country socially, and politically, too. Thomas Jefferson and others wrote at length of the role farming played ...
Mapping Ur-6, a Bean Rust Resistance Gene in Common Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Bean rust, caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.:Pers) Unger, is a disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) prevalent in the Americas and Africa. The most cost-effective countermeasure to bean rust is ...
