The Role of Eutrophication and Sediment Phosphorus Saturation in the Formation of Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms have been a growing concern as global climate change and eutrophication of lakes, rivers, and oceans continually push conditions to favor cyanobacteria over other phytoplankton. Two studies ...
Estimating the Impact to Wetlands in Western North Dakota From Dust and Road Use Increases Due to Energy Development
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Travel on gravel roads in western North Dakota has increased in recent years due mainly to energy development and little information exists on the impacts. This project’s objective was to compare high dust impact sites and ...
The Need to Move: Exploring Landscape Connectivity through the Eyes of the Northern Leopard Frog
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) is a species that depends on landscape connectivity to complete its lifecycle. However, due to historic and present anthropogenic landscape changes, this species encounters a variety ...
An Unintended Activist: Judge Ronald N. Davies and the Influence of the Northern Plains on Twentieth-Century Civil Rights and Judicial Progressivism
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
A devotion to an open and progressive interpretation of human rights and the law secured Judge Ronald N. Davies’ legacy as an unintended, yet influential activist for advancing civil rights and of the twentieth century. ...
Genomic Analysis of Septoria nodorum Blotch Susceptibility Genes Snn1 and Snn2 in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Septoria nodorum blotch is a disease of wheat caused by the necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum. In the wheat-P. nodorum pathosystem, recognition of pathogen-produced necrotrophic effectors (NEs) by dominant host ...
Gauging Categories of Municipal Water Use Spatially Across North Dakota in Different Size Municipalities
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Little is known about municipal water use in the state of North Dakota. Typically, the only water use information reported to the North Dakota State Water Commission is the amount of water withdrawn as part of a municipal ...
Food Safety Culture: An Underlying Cause for Success and Failures of Food Safety Management Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Food Safety Culture (FSC) is an emerging behavior-based food-safety management concept. FSC has been linked as an underlying cause for food-safety management-system failures during foodborne outbreaks and recall investigations. ...
Managing Upland Vegetation as a Mitigation Strategy for Climate-Change Effects on Prairie-Pothole Wetlands
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Prairie-pothole-wetland water budgets are largely dependent on atmospheric interactions. Modeling of prairie-pothole wetlands has suggested that climate change may cause significant decreases to a wetland’s hydroperiod and ...
Cosmogenic 10Be Surface Exposure Dating and Numerical Modeling of Late Pleistocene Glaciers and Lakes in Northwestern Nevada
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
This thesis focuses on the glacial record in the Pine Forest and Santa Rosa Ranges located in the northwestern Great Basin. Seventeen cosmogenic exposure ages in the two ranges are consistent with observations elsewhere ...
Flexible Nanocomposite Thin Films for Electronic Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Electronic technology is moving towards flexible, durable, and smaller devices with multifunctional capability. To accelerate this movement, creating materials with outstanding properties is critical. Nanocomposites based ...
