Quantifying Seasonal Variation in Physiological Condition of Adult Franklin's Gull (Luecophaeus Pipixcan) during Nesting
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Understanding seasonal variation in adult physiological condition is important for developing hypotheses on how nest initiation, adult condition, chick development and recruitment are related in Franklin's gull and other ...
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, ...
Ligand Binding and Catalysis in Selected Sirtuin Isozymes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Due to their intimate roles in survival, longevity as well as pathogenesis via “epigenetic” and “metabolic” regulatory mechanisms, sirtuins have gained considerable interest toward undertaking detailed biochemical/biophysical ...
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 ...
An Insilico Design of Nanoclay Based Nanocomposites and Scaffolds In Bone Tissue Engineering
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A multiscale in silico approach to design polymer nanocomposites and scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications is described in this study. This study focuses on the role of biomaterials design and selection, ...
Identification and Characterization of Binding Target Proteins of Cancer Stem Cell Inhibitor Salinomycin in Human Neuroblastoma
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Salinomycin, a widely used anti-coccidial agent, was recently identified as a cancer stem cell (CSC) inhibitor from a library of 16,000 natural and commercial chemical compounds based on its highly selective inhibitory ...
Towards Identifying the Physical and Molecular Components Involved in Resistance to Leaf Rust Pathogen Puccinia Triticina in Wheat and Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Genetic resistance is the preferred method to reduce yield losses caused by many diseases including wheat leaf rust. However, in many cases host resistance seems to be short-lived. For decades, scientists have tried and ...
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 ...
