Developing A New Snp Chip For Genomic Selection In The North Dakota State University Barley-Breeding Program, Jose Antonio Rivera Dompenciel Jan 2020

Developing A New Snp Chip For Genomic Selection In The North Dakota State University Barley-Breeding Program, Jose Antonio Rivera Dompenciel

Plant Sciences

The use of Genomic Selection has become popular due to its wide success in private and public breeding programs. The current dissertation aims to derive information that will be used to produce a single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) chip that can be used to successfully predict traits of economic importance for the North Dakota State University (NDSU) barley breeding program. Three training populations were tested to determine which should be used for predictive modeling. Multiple predictive models were employed to verify the most effective method for each individual trait. Through this research, four major findings were concluded: the successful identification of …

Optimizing Winter Camelina Production As A Cover Crop In North Dakota, Alex Shawn Robert Wittenberg Jan 2020

Optimizing Winter Camelina Production As A Cover Crop In North Dakota, Alex Shawn Robert Wittenberg

Plant Sciences

Winter camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] has gained particular interested from producers and researchers in the northern Great Plains and local production information is critical. Without a correct sowing date plant stand establishment can be challenging. Morphological differences between winter- and summer-biotypes of camelina can allow producers and researchers to distinguish the two biotypes. Visible and non-visible seed differences can offer effective means to distinguish the two biotypes. Seed quality of camelina is crucial. Sowing in September until the first week of October had similar seed yield. Morphological differences in the upper most developed leaves of camelina seedling can be …

Jail Suicide By Design, David E. Patton, Fredrick E. Vars Jan 2020

Jail Suicide By Design, David E. Patton, Fredrick E. Vars

Essays, Reviews, and Shorter Works

Jeffrey Epstein’s death in the federal jail in downtown Manhattan was the result of a conspiracy. But the conspirators were not the Clintons, President Trump, or Prince Andrew. Instead, his death, like too many others, was the result of a longtime conspiracy of lawmakers and actors within the criminal legal system itself. Several features of our legal system seem almost designed to promote suicide in jail. This Article examines and proposes solutions to two of those features: (1) jail conditions are inhumane in part because inmates face often insurmountable obstacles to hold jailers accountable; and (2) high rates of pretrial …

Radical Method, Richard Delgado, Jean Stefancic Jan 2020

Radical Method, Richard Delgado, Jean Stefancic

Essays, Reviews, and Shorter Works

Should traditional liberals and insurgent scholars who disdain "the system" nevertheless work together? They start at different points, build on clashing presumptions, and follow different methodologies. Nevertheless, they often come out the same way. Indeed, practitioners of the standard cases-and-policies approach sometimes end up instinctively applying radical techniques, such as the flip or shift of point of view, to great effect. After analyzing a number of examples, we conclude that progressive scholars should not reflexively reject lawyering that proceeds in the time- honored manner merely because it strikes them as quaint or square. By the same token, neither should they …

Borders By Consent: A Proposal For Reducing Two Kinds Of Violence In Immigration Practice, Richard Delgado, Jean Stefancic Jan 2020

Borders By Consent: A Proposal For Reducing Two Kinds Of Violence In Immigration Practice, Richard Delgado, Jean Stefancic

Essays, Reviews, and Shorter Works

We describe a new consensual theory of borders and immigration that reverses Peter Schuck's and Rogers Smith's notion of citizenship by consent and posits that borders are legitimate and make sense only if they are products of consent on the part of both countries on opposite sides of them. Our approach, in turn, leads to differential borders that address the many sovereignty and federalist problems inherent in border design by a close examination of the policies that different borders for example, the one between California and Mexico-need to serve in light of the populations living nearby. We build on our …

Love In The Time Of Cholera, Richard Delgado, Jean Stefancic Jan 2020

Love In The Time Of Cholera, Richard Delgado, Jean Stefancic

Essays, Reviews, and Shorter Works

A famous novel by Gabriel Garcia Mdrquez describes a love story among three actors that took place in a city in Colombia during the time of cholera. The interpersonal dynamics that unfold in this work by a Nobel Prize winning writer offer insight into events taking place today. We show how the urge to romanticize emotions during a time of great social stress, as well as the desire to cleave to a strong leader, explain events in Garcia Mirquez's mythical country, as well as in ours today. We draw conclusions about how citizens should respond to Donald J. Trump's unloving …

Thailand: The Evolution Of Law, The Legal Profession And Political Authority, Frank W. Munger Jan 2020

Thailand: The Evolution Of Law, The Legal Profession And Political Authority, Frank W. Munger

Articles & Chapters

This article describes the origin and development of the modern Thai legal profession. Intimately linked in origin to the development of the modern Thai state, the legal profession increasingly resembles the profession in economically developed democracies. Paralleling other regional developments, Thailand’s rapid economic development, constitutional reforms, and expanding judicialization drives many of the most important changes in the education and function of lawyers. Significant differences continue to exist between the profession in Thailand and legal professions in developed democracies, reflecting the profession’s origins and the continuing influence of consciousness and class structure as well as Thailand’s peculiarly semi-democratic and monarchical …

Transfixed In The Camera's Gaze: Foster V. Svenson And The Battle Of Privacy And Modern Art, Michael Goodyear Jan 2020

Transfixed In The Camera's Gaze: Foster V. Svenson And The Battle Of Privacy And Modern Art, Michael Goodyear

Articles & Chapters

The battle between First Amendment expression and privacy interests in twenty-first century America is in full force. In Foster v. Svenson, a photographer used a high-powered camera to take snapshots of his neighbors. The New York court ruled that it was art and therefore immune from New York’s privacy statute. Constrained by New York’s ineffective privacy statute, the court’s ruling included a cry for the New York legislature to act.

Privacy has become an increasingly powerful right in American law, especially with the growth of technology. Yet the problem with Foster and the New York statute is that the sole …

A Shield Or A Solution: Confronting The New Copyright Troll Problem, Michael Goodyear Jan 2020

A Shield Or A Solution: Confronting The New Copyright Troll Problem, Michael Goodyear

Articles & Chapters

The past few years have seen the rise of a new threat to American access to knowledge and creativity: the attorney copyright troll. While previous scholarship has focused on the copyright owner as a copyright troll, this note examines the motivations and dangers of the attorney as a copyright troll. Guided by the rewards copyright infringement cases offer and equipped with mass mailed letters threatening thousands of purported infringers, these attorneys are practicing a new brand of copyright law focused on extorting money over pursuing legitimate claims. This poses a danger to the spirit of copyright.

Keeping The Barbarians At The Gates: The Promise Of The Unesco And Unidroit Conventions For Developing Countries, Michael Goodyear Jan 2020

Keeping The Barbarians At The Gates: The Promise Of The Unesco And Unidroit Conventions For Developing Countries, Michael Goodyear

Articles & Chapters

The illicit trade in cultural property is a global phenomenon, powered by criminal networks and smuggling trains that sacrifice local culture for the black market of the art world. Headlines featuring the Islamic State’s lucrative exchange in stolen cultural property, among other incidents, have raised the profile of the illicit cultural property trade on the global stage. Developing countries, as the most prominent source countries of cultural property, are particularly at risk. Existing scholarship has searched for a solution to this crisis, suggesting a new international treaty to protect cultural property or recommending the utilization of adjacent legal fields. However, …

Structure Modification To Enhance Pulse Protein Functions And Flavor Profile Opportunities In Saccharide Mediated Glycation Via Maillard-Driven Chemistry, Fengchao Zha Jan 2020

Structure Modification To Enhance Pulse Protein Functions And Flavor Profile Opportunities In Saccharide Mediated Glycation Via Maillard-Driven Chemistry, Fengchao Zha

Plant Sciences

Owing to the combined characteristics of low allergens and lipids, as well as high versatility and abundance, eco-friendly pulse-based protein has served as a critical contender to supplement animal protein. The inferior solubility and off-flavor, however, place a practical restriction on its application. Glycation via Maillard-driven reaction is a potential green chemistry to modulate protein structure and functions. The various types of protein, saccharides with different molecular mass and structural characteristics, and two reaction systems (dry and wet heating) were applied to synthesize protein-saccharides conjugates. The aims were to investigate (i) the effect of glycation on functionalities and flavor of …

Further Characterization Of Pathogen Virulence And Genetic Mapping Of New Virulence Genes In Pyrenophora Tritici-Repentis, The Causal Agent Of Tan Spot Of Wheat, Jingwei Guo Jan 2020

Further Characterization Of Pathogen Virulence And Genetic Mapping Of New Virulence Genes In Pyrenophora Tritici-Repentis, The Causal Agent Of Tan Spot Of Wheat, Jingwei Guo

Plant Sciences

The ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot of wheat, a devastating foliar disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum L., 2n=4x=28, AABB). Ptr is known to produce three necrotrophic effectors (NEs), namely Ptr ToxA, Ptr ToxB and Ptr ToxC, to cause disease by interacting with corresponding host sensitivity genes. However, many studies in the last twenty years have suggested that Ptr produces additional virulence factors. My Ph.D. research focused on further identification and genetic mapping of new virulence genes in Ptr. In Chapter 2, a bi-parental fungal population was developed …

Pre-Breeding To Improve Yield And Disease Resistance Of Hard Red Winter Wheat, Dylan Mitchell Barry Jan 2020

Pre-Breeding To Improve Yield And Disease Resistance Of Hard Red Winter Wheat, Dylan Mitchell Barry

Plant Sciences

Challenges to growing winter wheat in North Dakota include winter temperature and disease pressure. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease that necessitates breeding for resistance. In the NDSU breeding program FHB resistance genes are often associated with a decrease in performance. This study used single seed descent to advance lines while maintaining a near random population. Early generation (F4) selection focused heavily on yield and the presence of FHB resistance quantitative trait loci to develop winter wheat lines with FHB resistance and high yield. Stripe rust is a fungal disease that is becoming increasingly problematic in North Dakota. …

Understanding Host Resistance And Pathogen Biology In The Wheat-Fusarium Graminearum Pathosystem, Bikash Poudel Jan 2020

Understanding Host Resistance And Pathogen Biology In The Wheat-Fusarium Graminearum Pathosystem, Bikash Poudel

Plant Sciences

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major challenge in global wheat production. In the United States, the disease is predominantly caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum. Utilization of FHB-resistant wheat cultivars integrated with other measures such as fungicide application is the most effective approach for the management of this disease. This study aimed to 1) identify novel quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to FHB in a Brazilian spring wheat cultivar ‘Surpresa’ through bi-parental mapping, 2) detect QTL for FHB resistance in a global panel of 233 spring wheat accessions by genome-wide association analysis (GWAS), and 3) localize genomic regions …

Cognitive Biases, Dark Patterns, And The ‘Privacy Paradox’, Ari Ezra Waldman Jan 2020

Cognitive Biases, Dark Patterns, And The ‘Privacy Paradox’, Ari Ezra Waldman

Articles & Chapters

Scholars and commentators often argue that individuals do not care about their privacy, and that users routinely trade privacy for convenience. This ignores the cognitive biases and design tactics platforms use to manipulate users into disclosing information. This essay highlights some of those cognitive biases – from hyperbolic discounting to the problem of overchoice – and discusses the ways in which platform design can manipulate disclosure. It then explains how current law allows this manipulative and anti-consumer behavior to continue and proposes a new approach to reign in the phenomenon.

You That Build The Death Planes: Bob Dylan, War And International Affairs, Michael L. Perlin Jan 2020

You That Build The Death Planes: Bob Dylan, War And International Affairs, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

Several years ago, I wrote that Bob Dylan was “a scholar with a well-developed jurisprudence on a range of topics including civil, criminal, public, and private law” (Perlin, 2011, p.1396). In that article, I discussed and analyzed Dylan songs that dealt with, variously, civil rights, inequality in the criminal and civil justice systems, institutions, governmental/judicial corruption, equality and emancipation, and the role of lawyers in the legal process. (Id.). But I noted that I was omitting – for space considerations – any discussion of Dylan songs dealing with war and international affairs (Id., p. 1398, n. 15).
