A Narrative Review and Longitudinal Data Analysis Method to Evaluate the Association Between Head and Neck Cancer and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The pathophysiological mechanisms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and head and neck cancers (HNCs) have not been fully investigated. Currently, investigating the relationship between HNCs and OSA is incomplete due to the ... -
Noise Reduction of Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing for Improved Extracellular Vesicles Profiling in Cancer Detection
(North Dakota State University, 2022)EVs have much potential as sensitive, novel biomarkers because they represent the status of their cells of origin and can be used to detect cancer earlier than alternative biomarkers. The size of EVs can be determined by ... -
Optimizing Silk Protein Production Using an Engineering Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The acquisition of spider silk is a complex and costly process that restricts its availability. Increasing applications stemming from the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors is driving the demand higher, necessitating ... -
Processing and Application of MXene (Ti3C2) for Plant Nutritional Stress Sensing
(North Dakota State University, 2023)Environmental stresses cause nutritional stresses which in turn lower crop yields, so understanding this complex relationship can improve crop growth and enable new precision farming methods. The aim of this study is to ... -
Wireless Wearable Device for the Acquisition of Bioelectrical Signals for Applications in Sleep Monitoring and Lucid Dream Induction
(North Dakota State University, 2021)The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends at minimum seven hours of sleep per night, which means you would expect to spend a quarter of your lifetime asleep. Acute or chronic sleep deprivation can greatly ...
