Silicon Nanocrystals: Optical Properties and Self Assembly
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Silicon nanocrystal’s (SiNCs) size dependent optical properties and nontoxic nature portend potential applications across a broad range of industries. With any of these applications, a thorough understanding of SiNC ...
Roosevelt, Ranches, and Resources: Theodore Roosevelt National Park's Search for a Balance Between Human and Natural History
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
National parks share the same challenge debating the significance of their cultural and natural resources. In the past, many parks decided to emphasize the value of natural resources over that of their human histories. ...
Genetic Disruption of VIP Signaling Alters Intestinal Microbial Structure and Immunity
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) regulates clock gene expression in the brain that synchronizes diurnal feeding behaviors in mammals. In the gastrointestinal (GI) tissues, VIP influences host nutrient absorption from ...
Association Studies on Pre-Germination Flooding Tolerance and Cell Wall Components Related to Plant Architecture in Dry Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Dry bean breeding programs have made significant advances in combating both abiotic and biotic stresses as well as improving plant architectural traits via selective breeding. Flooding can cause complete crop loss in dry ...
