Soil and plants, strategically placed, can help reduce stormwater runoff—and, in the long run, help relieve pressure on the city drainage system. However, engaging city officials and community members is integral to implementing these techniques.
Students who identify themselves as engineers early in their educational careers are more likely to complete their college degrees. Developing that engineering identity may help increase student diversity.
A 11-day fellowship in Israel led flutist Tammy Yonce to apply for a Fulbright Scholarship to teach in Cairo, Egypt this spring. She begins teaching at the Academy of Arts Feb. 1.
A team of scientists from five universities is using historical plant collections to study the evolution of invasive species through the Consortium of Plant Invasion Genomics.
Using 2D materials, researchers will study the genetics associated with attachment to give nitrogen-fixing bacteria the advantage in colonizing soybean roots--and reduce the need for chemical fertilizer.
A team of scientists will use E. coli cells to help understand how human cells break down excess or unusable proteins into amino acids they can use.
“It’s like playing in the best cathedral in Europe—except it’s this water tank.” That how percussions Aaron Ragsdale describe recording new pieces with flutist Tammy Yonce at the Tank Center for Sonic Arts.
Identifying and characterizing the proteins in the flexible skeletal structure in the trunk of a squid’s body can help scientists construct tissue scaffolds for repairing or replacing damaged cartilage, bones and ligaments.
As many as eight species of a common soil fungus can cause root rot in South Dakota cornfields. Identifying the pathogens will help researchers test seed treatments and breeders develop resistant varieties.
The excising of large segments of base pairs can give cyanobacteria cells the ability to fix nitrogen. Understanding how these genetic mechanisms work may help scientists develop techniques for editing out defective genes that cause disease.
Scientists can use cell cultures from the tissues of swine nasal passages, tracheas and lungs to study influenza viruses that infect swine and humans. The outcomes are closer to what's happening inside the animal.
A national address database with geographical coordinates, known as address point data, can help emergency managers warn and evacuate residents during a wildfire.
South Dakota State University researchers will develop innovative techniques to repair and construct bridges and roadways through a new U.S. Department of Transportation-funded research center.
Electrical stimulation helps heal chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and bedsores--and now researchers have a new tool that predicts HOW that cellular migration and alignment happens. It will help standardize and optimize treatment.
To address the shortage of health-care professionals in rural and underserved areas, nurse-researchers are helping rural clinics more fully utilize registered nurses in primary care and have expanded the South Dakota State University nursing curriculum to better prepare students to do just that.
The vitamin D metabolite calcitriol and its analog calcipotriol can block one of the mechanisms through which cancer cells gain resistance to chemotherapy drugs—and can selectively kill those drug-resistant cells.
An interest in managing energy distribution plus the skills Prateek Munankarmi learned in graduate school led to an NREL internship--and now a full-time job.
Poetry helped Christine Stewart deal with her sister’s death—and started a career that has led to her becoming South Dakota Poet Laureate.
Saturated buffers can provide a cost-effective means of removing nitrates from tile drainage water before it flows into adjacent creeks and streams. However, the site must meet specific guidelines.
During pregnancy, American Indian mothers are less likely to consume alcohol and no more likely to smoke than white mothers in South Dakota after adjusting for socioeconomic factors.
