A dairy-based beverage development by alpha-lactalbumin/beta-lactoglobulin ratio adjustment for dysphagia patients

Wei, Ting (Kansas State University, 2014-04-28)

People who suffer from swallowing disorders are diagnosed with dyphasgia. The beverage for the dyphagia patients should have the apparent viscosity in the range of nectar-like (51 to 350 mPa•s) or honey-like (351 to 1750 ...
Damaged starch in the flour mill: how to reduce the electricity bill

Dhotel, Charles Loubersac. (Kansas State University, 2012-04-26)

The purpose of the research reported in the thesis, here, is to quantify new value added possible in flour milling with the use of the SDmatic monitor, produced and sold by Chopin Technologies SAS. As an employee of Chopin, ...
“Damned if you do, doomed if you don’t”: The influence of sexism, gender, and rejection behaviors on the potential for stereotyping and workplace prejudice and discrimination

Stratmoen, Evelyn

Across three studies, the relationships between gender, rejection behavior, and ambivalent sexist attitudes on perceptions of a coworker (i.e., target) who rejects another coworker’s (i.e., suitor) romantic interest were ...
Dancing in the rain: selective drivers of variability in Neotropical manakins

Shogren, Elsie Hulda (2020-08-01)

The overarching goal of this dissertation is to understand how natural and sexual selection interact to drive trait and behavioral evolution. Under challenging abiotic conditions, natural selection is expected to constrain ...
Dark septate fungal endophytes from a tallgrass prairie and their continuum of interactions with host plants

Mandyam, Keerthi (Kansas State University, 2009-01-08)

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are darkly pigmented microfungal ascomycetes commonly observed in the healthy plant roots. Studying the functional roles of DSE is challenging as fundamental information about their identity, ...
The dark side of the rainbow: queer women’s experiences of intimate partner violence

Harden, Jacqueline L. (2020-05-01)

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a worldwide issue that, although often thought of as a very gendered and heteronormative crime (male perpetrators and female victims within heterosexual relationships), occurs in all kinds ...
Data aggregation in sensor networks

Kallumadi, Surya Teja (Kansas State University, 2010-01-14)

Severe energy constraints and limited computing abilities of the nodes in a network present a major challenge in the design and deployment of a wireless sensor network. This thesis aims to present energy efficient algorithms ...
Data analysis for quantitative determinations of polar lipid molecular species

Song, Tingting (Kansas State University, 2010-12-13)

This report presents an analysis of data resulting from a lipidomics experiment. The experiment sought to determine the changes in the lipidome of big bluestem prairie grass when exposed to stressors. The two stressors ...
Data analytics on Yelp data set

Tata, Maitreyi (Kansas State University, 2017-12-01)

In this report, I describe a query-driven system which helps in deciding which restaurant to invest in or which area is good to open a new restaurant in a specific place. Analysis is performed on already existing businesses ...
Data Assisted-Modeling of the Liver Organ on a Chip Dynamics

Smith, Connor

The concept of mathematical modeling to develop a digital twin of biological processes is in a nascent state. Despite the limited understanding of many biological pathways, a well-trained mathematical model can successfully ...
Data augmentation using generative adversarial networks for electrical insulator anomaly detection

Luo, Lei (2020-05-01)

Electricity has been an essential part of our life. Insulators, which are widely used for electricity transmission, are prone to be damaged and need constant maintenance. Traditionally, the inspection job is time-consuming ...

Ekong, Pius Stephen (Kansas State University, 2017-12-01)

Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), of which enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) are a pathogenic sub-group, are foodborne pathogens of significant public health importance in the United States. STEC belong to the ...
Data detection and fusion in decentralized sensor networks

Gnanapandithan, Nithya (Kansas State University, 2005-11-18)
