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 ... -
Spatial and Temporal Sensitivity of Alternaria Species Associated with Potato Foliar Diseases to Demethylation Inhibiting and Anilino-Pyrimidine Fungicides
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Early blight and brown spot, caused by Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata, respectively, are important foliar diseases of potato, affecting both tuber yield and quality. Most of the commercial cultivars lack ... -
Rhizoctonia Solani Damping-Off of Sugarbeet: Effect of Plant Growth Stage on Disease Severity and Management Using Penthiopyrad
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Rhizoctonia solani is the most damaging pathogen on sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) in North Dakota and Minnesota. Research was conducted to evaluate penthiopyrad for controlling R. solani and determine when the plants are ... -
Costs and Risks of Testing and Blending for EAA in Soybeans
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Soybean quality is typically measured by protein values. Essential Amino Acids (EAA) and Critical Amino Acid Value (CAAV) provide alternative measures of valuing soybeans. The following thesis analyzes the effects of testing ... -
Polymers and Coatings Derived From Novel Bio-Based Vinyl Ether Monomers
(North Dakota State University, 2018)To fulfill the demand for household, industrial, light weight transportation, health, and cosmetic products etc., production of polymeric materials has been increasing every year. However, limited resource of fossil fuel ... -
The Choral Music of Frederick Delius (1862-1934) and its Influence on the Choral Music of Early Twentieth-Century British Composers
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The composer Frederick Delius wrote a large body of choral music including choral/orchestral works and part songs. This body of choral music had an important influence on the younger generation of British choral composers, ... -
Arginine Supplementation Strategies during Gestation: Impacts on Dams and Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)We hypothesize rumen-protected arginine supplementation during gestation will mitigate deleterious offspring effects caused by undernutrition. Experiment 1: non-pregnant ewes were supplemented with rumen-protected arginine ... -
The Tyger and the Lamb: Exploring the Relationship Between Text and Music in Selected Contemporary Choral Settings of Two Poems by William Blake (1757-1827)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Texts have been influencing composers of choral music for centuries. Some composers manipulate the text through the use of form and compositional technique, whereas others rely on highlighting specific words. Still others ... -
A Multivariate Approach to Forecasting Dairy Imports
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The global economy is becoming more connected with every passing year. Developing countries continue to lift themselves out of poverty and their markets are hungry for the opportunity to trade goods with nations all over ... -
Stereospecific Phototransformations of Atropisomeric Chromophores
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Photochemical transformations are unique strategy in synthesis that enables us to access complex and structurally diverse organic scaffolds. However, the challenges in controlling the excited-state to perform stereoselective ... -
Implementation of Fourier Repetitive Control in Labview
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This thesis presents position control as well as current (torque) control of a DC servo motor with a periodic input. Position control is achieved by using Fourier repetitive control scheme. Simulation on position control ... -
Marker Assisted Selection Increases the Efficiency of Breeding for Potato Virus Y Resistance in Potato
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Potato Virus Y (PVY) is an important virus of potato due to the non-persistent mode of transmission by aphids causing yield losses. Genetic resistance is the recommended control since insecticides cannot adequately control ... -

Growth Hormone Mediated Regulation of Osmoregulation in Euryhaline Teleosts
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Within the multitude of fish species that exist on our planet, there are a certain number that possess the unique ability to live in both freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) environments. This ability, known as euryhalinity, ... -
Molecular Characterization and Pathogenicity of Sunflower Stem Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production can be limited by several stem diseases. Among these, Phomopsis stem canker causes frequent yield reductions in Australia, Europe and North America. In the U.S., while Diaporthe ... -
Characterization of Activities of Crumb Rubber in Interaction with Asphalt and its Effect on Final Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Recycling of millions of scrap tires produced everyday is crucial challenge encountered by waste management systems. Recycling tire rubbers in form of ground tire rubber, known as crumb rubber modifier (CRM), in asphalt ... -
Association Mapping and Genetic Diversity Studies of Agronomic and Quality Traits in Durum Wheat [Triticum turgidum L. var. durum (Desf.)]
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Genetic diversity studies in breeding programs are important to identify parental lines for hybridization and introgression of desirable alleles into elite germplasm. The genetic diversity analysis of 283 North Dakota ... -
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 ... -
Interactions of Light with Organic Chromophores: A Photochemical and Photophysical Investigation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Over the past century, light has emerged as a useful tool finding utility in various fields such as device fabrication, the medical field, as well as utility as an energy source. Chemist have adopted this abundant energy ...
