Relationships Between Winter Social Dominance Hierarchies and Immune Function in the Black-Capped Chickadee
(North Dakota State University, 2016)social species, dominance rank has implications for an individual’s health and fitness. Dominant individuals often receive greater access to resources, protection from predators, higher quality t ... -
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Miocene-Age Glacial Deposits, Friis Hills, Antarctica
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The Friis Hills is an isolated plateau standing as much as 600 m above surrounding topography in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region or Antarctica.Preserved on the plateau surface is a sequence of early to middle Miocene-aged ... -
Selection for Low Calcium Tolerance in Brassica rapa
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Ecosystems across a landscape can vary in their selection pressures and therefore can vary in the species that are able to survive there. Selection pressures applied on a species found in multiple ecosystems may lead to ... -
Soil Warming and Drying and the Consquence to Crop Yields among Conservation Tillage Practices in Frigid Corn-Soybean Fields
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Concerns over delayed soil warming and drying have hindered adoption of conservation tillage practices in frigid environments. Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of chisel plow (CP), vertical tillage (VT), strip ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
