Souris River Dissolved Oxygen Study in Support of Total Maximum Daily Load Development
(North Dakota State University, 2010)The Souris River, a slow moving praire river, originates in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The Souris River enters into the United States near Sherwood, North Dakota. The upper portion of the Souris River, from ... -
Sperm Telomere Dynamics: Natural Variation and Sensitivity to Environmental Influences in House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to variation in lifespan is of central importance to diverse fields including life history theory. Although the causes of aging are not fully understood, telomere dynamics (length ... -
Synergistic Bioactive Enhancement of Phytochemical-Linked Food Safety Relevant and Health Protective Benefits of Select Plant-Based Foods and By-Products
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Under-utilized, ethnic, or traditional plant-based foods, food ingredients, or processed plant by-products have dual functional food safety and health protective benefits due to their rich phytochemical profile. Pre- and ... -
Taphonomic, Taxonomic, and Behavioral Diversity of Wormworld Fossil Assemblages from Ediacaran Units of the Western United States
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The western United States Deep Spring and Wood Canyon formations contain a variety of late Ediacaran fossils, representing the enigmatic Ediacara biota and a metazoan worm-like fauna. The latter, dubbed “Wormworld”, is ... -
Trace Element Distribution in Soils of The Pembina Escarpment, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Association of element concentrations for soils of northeastern North Dakota formed from different sources of parent materials were determined based on geochemical data. These soils overlie the Cretaceous Pierre Formation ... -
Understanding the Relationships between Plant Communities, Fish Communities, and Sediment Chemistry in Pristine Shallow Lake Wetlands, Red Lake, MN
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Over 90% wetland loss in many areas of the United States has triggered extreme concern for declining biodiversity and loss of ecosystem services. Studies assessing ecological characteristics of unaltered wetlands are ... -
Use of Biopolymer Entrapped Sulfate Reducing Bacteria and Metal Nanoparticles for Effective Aqueous Sulfate Removal
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) isolated from activated sludge were used to investigate sulfate removal from aqueous solution using calcium alginate entrapped SRB in batch studies with ethanol and lactose as the carbon ... -
Using Seed Source Diversity and Species Distribution Modeling for Evaluating Grassland Restoration Success and Suitability
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Seed sourcing for restoration often uses local populations presumed adapted to local environments. This may not be effective under changing climates. Thus, different seed sourcing strategies need testing including multi-source ...
