Infrared chemical imaging of germinated wheat: early nondestructive detection and microspectroscopic imaging of kernel thin cross sections in Situ

Koc, Hicran (Kansas State University, 2007)

During germination, biochemical changes occur in the wheat kernel by stimulation of enzymes and hormones, and the seed reserves are mobilized. Infrared microspectroscopy and imaging enables a localized chemical inventory, ...
Infrared microspectroscopic chemical imaging applied to individual starch granules and starch dominant solid mixtures

Boatwright, Mark Daniel (Kansas State University, 2012)

Chemical imaging enables displaying the distribution of different substances within a field of view based on their fundamental vibrational frequencies. Mid-IR bands are generally strong and feature direct correlation to ...
Infrared microspectroscopy of plants: use of synchrotron radiation infrared microspectroscopy to study plant root anatomy and to monitor the fate of organic contaminants in those roots

Dokken, Kenneth M. (Kansas State University, 2006)

The fate and bioavailability of organic contaminants in plants is a major ecological and human health concern. Current wet chemistry techniques that employ strong chemical treatments and extractions with volatile solvents, ...
Infusion: catalyzing progressive design strategies in the Knobtown District

O'Keefe, Zachary Scott (Kansas State University, 2012)

Sustainable landscape design is generally understood in relation to three principles—ecological health, social justice, and economic prosperity. However, people have neglected to recognize the significance of their impact ...
Inhibiting enzymatic formation of blue-green pigments in garlic cloves

DeCagna, Drew (Kansas State University, 2013)

Blue-green pigments have the ability to form in crushed and whole garlic cloves following a rapid series of enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions. Economic losses associated with a reduction in organoleptic quality of ...
The inhibition of potential pathogens by persimmon puree and selected phenolics

Weber, Casey Grant (Kansas State University, 2009)

Three experiments were conducted to study the antimicrobial effectiveness of persimmon puree and phenolic compounds commonly found in the persimmon and plum. The objectives in experiment 1 were to evaluate the antimicrobial ...
Inhibition of RVLM synaptic activation at peak hyperthermia reduces visceral sympathetic nerve discharge

Hosking, Kimberley Gowens (Kansas State University, 2010)

Hyperthermia is an environmental stressor that produces marked increases in visceral sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) in young rats. The brainstem in rats contains the essential neural circuitry for mediating visceral ...
Initial development and validation of the Entrepreneurial Orientation Profile Inventory (EOPI)

Smith, Michael Robert (Kansas State University, 2011)

Entrepreneurship represents an important path to job creation, product development and organizational competitive advantage. Therefore, the identification and retention of entrepreneurial talent is of primary importance. ...
The initial impact of No Child Left Behind with a focus on time for elementary science and equity in science, math, and reading

Griffith, George W. (Kansas State University, 2009)

This research examines the impact of the “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) Act on elementary science education in the states of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Elementary teachers (n=928 total for all states) ...
Innate immune activation of swine gastrointestinal epithelial cells and tissues in response to microbial exposure

Skjolaas, Kristine A. (Kansas State University, 2006)

The three experiments described below offer support of immune function by the swine gastrointestinal epithelium. Experiment one evaluated mediators that regulate the movement of macrophages (macrophage migration inhibitory ...
“Inside the bubble”: a look at the experiences of student-athletes in revenue-producing sports during college and beyond

Menke, Donna J. (Kansas State University, 2010)

This phenomenological study sought to address the overarching research questions: What are the costs and benefits of participation in Division I college sports? How does participation in Division I college sports prepare ...
Insights into the structure and function of the aggregate-reactivating molecular chaperone CLPB

Nagy, Maria (Kansas State University, 2008)

ClpB is a bacterial heat-shock protein that disaggregates and reactivates strongly aggregated proteins in cooperation with the DnaK chaperone system. ClpB contains two ATP-binding AAA+ modules, a linker coiled-coil domain, ...
Instrumentation and tar measurement systems for a downdraft biomass gasifier

Hu, Ming (Kansas State University, 2009)

Biomass gasification is a promising route utilizing biomass materials to produce fuels and chemicals. Gas product from the gasification process is so called synthesis gas (or syngas) which can be further treated or converted ...
Insulin resistance and roncomitant macro- and microvascular dysfunction in normoglycemic college-age subjects with a family history of type 2 diabetes

Townsend, Dana Komarek (Kansas State University, 2007)

The overall aims of this dissertation are to determine the incidence and magnitude of insulin resistance (IR) in a cohort of normoglycemic college-age subjects with a family history of type 2 diabetes, and to ascertain if ...
An integrated finite element and finite volume code to solve thermo-hydro-mechanical problems in porous media

Gosavi, Shekhar Vishwanath (Kansas State University, 2006)

The objective of the thesis is to provide a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) tool, T2STR, which enables quantitative understanding and prediction of thermal as well as mechanical effects on flow in the porous ...
Integrated formulation-solution-design scheme for nonlinear multidisciplinary systems using the MIXEDMODELS platform

Vaze, Shilpa Arun (Kansas State University, 2007)

Most state-of-the-art systems are multidisciplinary in nature and encompass a wide range of components from domains such as electronics, mechanics, hydraulics, etc. Design considerations and design parameters of the system ...
Integrated pest management of noctuids in Kansas sorghum: a bioeconomic approach to agricultural pest management

Soper, Alysha Marie (Kansas State University, 2011)

Several lepidopteran species infest developing panicles. Larval identification is challenging and time intensive, so current recommendations are often simplified by treating all larvae equally across species. Consequently, ...
Integrated pest management strategies for a terrestrial isopod, Armadillidium vulgare, in no-till soybean production

Alfaress, Serine (Kansas State University, 2012)

No-till management of soybean benefits producers by lowering input costs and retaining soil moisture, but may also provide optimal conditions for increasing populations of soil-inhabiting pests. For Kansas soybean, damaging ...
Integrated project delivery: the obstacles of implementation

Fish, Amanda (Kansas State University, 2011)

The purpose of this report is to provide information on Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) as a construction project delivery method and identify some of the obstacles that are limiting its implementation into the design ...
Integrated UHF CMOS power amplifiers in silicon on insulator process

Jeon, Jeongmin (Kansas State University, 2008)

Design challenges and solution methods for Watt-level UHF CMOS power amplifiers are presented. Using the methods, a fully-integrated UHF (400MHz) CMOS power amplifier (PA) with more than 1-Watt output is demonstrated for ...
