Valuation of Licensing Agreements in Agriculture Biotechnology
(North Dakota State University, 2016)As demand for agricultural commodities expands throughout the world, competitors are finding it advantageous to form strategic partnerships. Firms seek to collaborate in an organized effort to advance technology as quickly ... -
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, ... -
Rail Car Trip Transit Time and the Effects on Grain Trading Company Profits
(North Dakota State University, 2016)This examines the logistic process of a grain trading company, and how logistics affect profits. Trip transit time is the amount of times a shuttle train moves back and forth from an elevator and a destination. In the years ... -
Molecular and Histological Study of Sphaerulina musiva-Populus spp. Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Sphaerulina musiva, the causal agent of leaf spot and stem canker, is responsible for critical yield loss of hybrid poplar in agroforestry. This research examined quantification of S. musiva in host tissue, and infection ... -
Hedging Default and Price Risks in Commodity Trading
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Many risk factors exist in the commodity markets, especially those related to price and quantity. Recently, the risk of counterparty default has been increasing. The purpose of this study is to develop a portfolio-hedging ... -
The Impact of Digestive Enzymes in the Ruminant Animal
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Understanding the enzymatic activity in ruminant digestive systems is essential for securing adequate growth, reproduction and overall metabolism. In order to evaluate the impact of various nutritional sources and dietary ... -
The Risks Associated with Barley Production in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The market for barley has shifted from a demand for exports and livestock feed, to a demand for human food and alcohol production. Due to the crop qualities required for malting in the alcohol industry, barley is perceived ... -
Sensitivity of Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Isolates From North Central US to Azoxystrobin and Boscalid
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Azoxystrobin and boscalid are fungicides frequently used to manage diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary in many broadleaf crops in North Central US. . Continued use of these compounds can induce ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Maternal Nutritional Plane and Endogenous Retroviral Gene Elements, Pregnancy Hormones, and Placental Vascularity and Angiogenic Factors during the Establishment of Pregnancy in Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2016)In order to meet the projected food demands by 2050, animal agriculture must increase production of animal products on the same or decreased land area through increased efficiency. Early gestation is one area to increase ... -
Late Transition Metal-Catalyst Development for Alkyne Coupling Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Alkynes are versatile and valuable synthetic precursors in a variety of organic transformations and have found tremendous applications in materials science and pharmaceutical chemistry. In recent years, there has been a ... -
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 ... -
Structural Studies of the Mechanism by Which BCL-2 and Beclin Proteins Regulate Autophagy and Apoptosis
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Autophagy and apoptosis are catabolic pathways essential for homeostasis in all eukaryotes. While autophagy usually promotes cell-survival by enabling degradation and recycling of damaged macromolecules, apoptosis is the ... -
Validation of Molecular Markers Associated with Grain Cadmium in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum Desf.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Durum wheat is capable of accumulating cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, in the grain at levels that have been deemed unsafe. Previous studies have identified genetic variation in durum wheat that can be exploited to create ...
