Fabrication of milk protein-based electrospun nanofibers

Wei, Wangyi

The electrospinning technique has been applied to various biopolymers for nanofiber fabrication. In this report, dairy protein-based electrospun nanofibers have been fabricated for its potential application as edible coating ...
The fabrication of novel microfluidic devices for chemical separation and concentration enrichment of amino acids, proteins, peptides, particles, and cells

Roman, Gregory T. (Kansas State University, 2006-10-27)

My doctoral dissertation consists of three fundamental studies: 1) synthesis of biocompatible materials that can be used as microfluidic substrates, 2) characterizing these materials with respect to properties important ...
Facies and provenance analysis of the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) in Kansas

Azmi, Iffat (2020-05-01)

The Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) formed a half-graben that extends into NE Kansas. The Precambrian rift succession, penetrated by Texaco Noel Poersch#1 (NP#1) well in Washington Co. at depths between 2846 and 11300 ft, ...
Facilitating case reuse during problem solving in algebra-based physics

Mateycik, Frances Ann (Kansas State University, 2010-05-20)

This research project investigates students’ development of problem solving schemata while using strategies that facilitate the process of using solved examples to assist with a new problem (case reuse). Focus group ...
Facilitating students application of the integral and the area under the curve concepts in physics problems

Nguyen, Dong-Hai (Kansas State University, 2011-05-05)

This research project investigates the difficulties students encounter when solving physics problems involving the integral and the area under the curve concepts and the strategies to facilitate students learning to solve ...
Factors affecting 2014 Farm Bill commodity program enrollment factors for Kansas farmers

Wilson, Candice (Kansas State University, 2017-08-01)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The 2014 Farm Bill required Kansas producers to make a series of enrollment decisions that were both complicated and based on incomplete information. With this bill, producers were required to ...
Factors affecting beef and plant-based protein consumption

Taylor, Hannah

Alternative protein options have been gaining popularity, motivated by increasing concerns over environmental sustainability and animal welfare. The growth in plant-based protein consumption has led to questions about how ...
Factors affecting cassava consumption in an urban population in Zambia

Mushingwani, Stanley (Kansas State University, 2009-05-19)

Maize is a staple food to many Zambians. It is for this reason that it has received a lot of support from government as a way of maintaining food security in the nation. No other crop in Zambia currently receives such level ...
Factors affecting denitrification in headwater prairie streams

Reisinger, Alexander Joseph (Kansas State University, 2010-07-14)

Human-induced stressors such as increased nitrogen (N) loadings, altered watershed land-use, and biodiversity losses are a few of the numerous threats to aquatic systems. Prairie streams experience natural disturbances, ...
Factors affecting fatal crash involvement of older drivers in the U.S.

Rallabandi, Abhiteja (Kansas State University, 2009-12-17)

Rapid increases are estimated in the percentage of elderly among the U.S. population starting in 2010. A majority of the older Americans depend on automobiles to meet their transportation needs either because of lack of ...
