Dietary nitrate supplementation augments nitric oxide synthase mediated cutaneous vasodilation during local heating in healthy humans

Keen, Jeremy T. (Kansas State University, 2013)

Nitrate supplementation in the form of beetroot juice (BRJ) has been shown to increase nitric oxide (NO), where nitrate can be reduced to nitrite and NO through both nitric oxide synthase (NOS) independent and dependent ...
DIETARY NITRATE SUPPLEMENTATION AUGMENTS NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE-DEPENDENT AND INDEPENDENT REFLEX CUTANEOUS VASODILATION IN HEALTHY HUMANS

Levitt, Erica L.; Keen, Jeremy T.; Wong, Brett J. (Kansas State University, 2013)

Beetroot juice (BRJ) has been shown to increase NO-dependent dilation through both NOS-dependent and NOS-independent pathways. We hypothesized BRJ supplementation would augment reflex cutaneous active vasodilation. Subjects ...
Difference in state cigarette excise tax rates: a look into the prominence of tax avoidance behavior

Nicholson, Andrew Gale (Kansas State University, 2012)

I analyze the impact of differences in the cigarette excise tax rates of bordering states on the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes in the home state. Using unique county-level data on the sales tax revenues collected ...
Differences in marital quality between full-time and bivocational pastors in the church of the Nazarene

Hayes, Everett C. (Kansas State University, 2010)

The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a difference in marital quality between full-time and bivocational pastors and their spouses in the Church of the Nazarene. While the denomination is a world-wide ...
Differences in sensory characteristics among various mango cultivars in the form of fresh sliced mango, mango purée, and mango sorbet

Ledeker, Christie N. (Kansas State University, 2011)

Fresh mangoes are highly perishable, and therefore, they are often processed to extend shelf-life and facilitate exportation. Studying the transformation that mango cultivars undergo throughout processing can aid in selecting ...
Different coordination modes of bis(imine-ridine) and bis(quinaldine) ligands

Prema, Dipesh (Kansas State University, 2007)

2-Formylbenzoquinoline and a selection of novel chiral bis(pyridine-imine) and bis-amide ligands derived from (1R,2R)-cyclohexanediamine and (R)-[1,1’-binaphthalene]-2,2’-diamine have been synthesized and thoroughly ...
Different sources of resistance in soybean against soybean aphid biotypes

Chandran, Predeesh (Kansas State University, 2011)

The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, arrived first to North America during the midst of 2000. It is a very fast spreading insect and causes a high yield loss of above 50% in most of the soybean growing tracts of ...
Differential expression of for, fax, and U2Af orthologs among three termite castes of the termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: rhinotermitidae)

Urban, Joshua Raymond (Kansas State University, 2010)

Termites (Isoptera) are eusocial insects and exhibit highly complex eusocial behavior. Eusociality is characterized by the presence of castes (workers, soldiers, reproductives), polyphenisms (same genotype exhibiting ...
Differential expression of type I interferons in fetal tissues and the maternal-fetal interface in response to PRRSV infection

Sang, Wenjing (Kansas State University, 2012)

Interferons (IFNs) comprise a group of antiviral cytokines; however, their expression at the porcine maternal-fetal interface and in fetal tissues has not previously been investigated. The purpose of this study was to ...
Differentiation and intimate partner violence

Likcani, Adriatik (Kansas State University, 2013)

This study explored the impact of differentiation of self on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). First, the study determined if differentiation of self in a relationship added to the variance accounted for by the known risk ...
Diffusivity and resistance to deterioration from freezing and thawing of binary and ternary concrete mixture blends

Beck, Lisa Elanna (Kansas State University, 2011)

Corrosion of reinforcing steel is one of the most common and serious causes of reinforced concrete deterioration. While corrosion is normally inhibited by a passive layer that develops around the reinforcing steel due ...
Digital textile patterns inspired by themes from the late 1950s/early 1960s

Pickett, Meagan Lynette (Kansas State University, 2009)

Inspired by people and objects of the late 1950s/early 1960s, textile patterns were created to use as a tool in the education of children through play. Four themes were developed, with three main prints in each theme. ...
Dimensions of diversity as communicated through institutional mission and diversity statements: a review of institutions in the Big 12 conference

DeCuir, Danielle M. (Kansas State University, 2010)

Diversity in higher education plays an important role in students’ perspectives on their college experiences. For students looking for an institution that has a diverse living and learning environment, it is important ...
DINESCAPE, emotions, and behavioral intentions in upscale restaurants

Ryu, Kisang (Kansas State University, 2005)

The physical environment may be an important determinant of customer satisfaction and subsequent behavior when services are consumed primarily for hedonic purposes and customers spend moderate to long periods of time in ...
Dining at continuing care retirement communities: a social interaction view

Abu Bakar, Ainul Zakiah (Kansas State University, 2013)

As the number of older adults increases so does the demand for housing and personal care needs. The continuing care retirement community is unique from other senior care facilities as it provides a continuum of housing and ...
Direct comparison of biomass yields of annual and perennial biofuel crops

Propheter, Jonathan L. (Kansas State University, 2009)

Volatile energy prices, energy independency, and environmental concerns have increased the demand for renewable fuel production in the United States. The current renewable fuel industry in the United States has developed ...
A direct Lyapunov approach to stabilization and tracking of underactuated mechanical systems

Patenaude, Jaspen (Kansas State University, 2008)

Mechanical systems play an integral part in our everyday lives. A subset of these systems can be described as underactuated; the defining characteristic of underactuated mechanical systems is that they have fewer control ...
Discovering the Bayou: successional restoration of Bayou Bienvenue

Kleinschmidt, Kristopher (Kansas State University, 2010)

All along the Gulf Coast, wetlands are disappearing due to saltwater intrusion from the draining of freshwater wetlands. Louisiana has about 40 percent of the coastal wetland in the lower 48 states but is currently losing ...
Discrete-ordinates cost optimization of weight-dependent variance reduction techniques for Monte Carlo neutral particle transport

Solomon, Clell J. Jr. (Kansas State University, 2010)

A method for deterministically calculating the population variances of Monte Carlo particle transport calculations involving weight-dependent variance reduction has been developed. This method solves a set of equations ...
The discursive representations of borderlands: an analysis of visual culture and conceptions of place occurring at the U.S.-Mexico border

Kofoed, Emily Sue (Kansas State University, 2009)
