Newsletter for the Department of Plant Sciences.
Conspectus of Aeptini Stål, 1871 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The Pentatominae tribe Aeptini is revised. A key to the known genera is provided, together with redescription and figures. The genus Paramenestheus is revised, including a key to the species and figures to all the included ...
Mid-Wisconsinan Climate Reconstruction Based on Fossil Beetles from Six Mile Creek, Ithaca, New York
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The history of the Mid-Wisconsinan sub-stage in northeastern North America is one of large climatic oscillations. Fossil beetles were extracted from two horizons at the Six Mile Creek site, New York. A total of 738 individuals ...
IfSAR DTM-derived Predictive Flood Models: A Cost-effective Approach to Target Site- Specific Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) Control Efforts
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The study area is the 400 km2 floodplain and wetlands of the upper Missouri River, located in the northwestern corner of North Dakota, near the community of Williston. Regional climate is semiarid, yet the Williston vector ...
Synthesis and Utilization of Si6H12 and Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br) for the Generation of Novel Silicon Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cyclohexasilane (Si6H12) and its derivatives, Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br), have chemical and physical properties different from linear and branched polysilanes, thus creating interest in their use as starting materials for a variety ...
Effects of Environmental Estrogens on the Growth Hormone-Insulin-Like Growth Factor System in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The increasing production, use, and disposal of an expanding array of chemicals that enter the environment pose a serious threat to terrestrial and aquatic animals, as well as to humans. Fish in aquatic habitats are exposed ...
Structural Studies of BECN1, A Key Autophagy Protein, and Intrinsically Disordered Regions in Autophagy Proteins
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Autophagy, a conserved catabolic process required for cellular homeostasis in
eukaryotes, is regulated by many proteins. The central goal of my doctoral research is to
investigate conformational flexibility of autophagy ...
The Role of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Signaling in Medulloblastoma Metastasis
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children and one third of the patients remain incurable. Tumor metastasis is one of the primary reasons for its high mortality rate. Despite evidence of overexpression of ...
The Discovery of a Novel Growth Hormone Receptor and the Nutritional Regulation of the Growth Related Actions of Growth Hormone
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The growth hormone (GH) family peptides such as GH, prolactin (PRL), and somatolactin (SL) regulate a wide array of physiological actions including but not limited to growth, metabolism, osmoregulation, and lipolysis. These ...
Augmented Expression of Apelin/APJ in the Paraventricular Nuclei of Rats after Myocardial Infarction
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Heart failure (HF) is a disease condition in which insufficient blood is pumped through the body. The pathophysiology of HF is multisystematic and includes a collection of different responses to compensate for the inability ...
