Understanding Water Quality, Vegetation Establishment, and Stakeholder Success for The Fargo Project: A Multi-Stakeholder Led Community-Based Green Infrastructure Project.
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The Fargo Project is a dry detention basin that holds stormwater drained from urbanized and impervious areas that serves as a component of a greater stormwater infrastructure network. The project goals were to design a ...
Influence of Plasma Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Profile, Urea-Nitrogen, Glucose and Non-Esterified Fatty Acids on Dry Matter Intake in Developing Heifers and Mature Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The objective of this experiment was to determine if nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) profiles or blood metabolites could explain dry matter intake (DMI) in developing heifers and/or mature cows in the weeks leading to ...
Synthesis of Novel Biomass-derived Diol and Epoxide Monomers for Coatings Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
There are few monomers or precursors in the polymer industry that are more ubiquitous than bisphenol A (BPA). According to the CDC, about 5-6 billion pounds of BPA are produced worldwide annually. For the synthesis of ...
Non-Chemical Weed Management in Annual and Perennial Organic Cropping Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Weedy pests, especially perennial weeds, are among the most challenging barriers to organic crop production. Improving non-chemical weed management tactics for established organic productions systems, like cool-season ...
Are Infrared Thermography, Automated Feeding Systems, And Heart Rate Variability Measures Capable of Characterizing Group-Housed Sow Social Hierarchies?
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Group gestation housing is becoming standard practice in commercial swine production. Although group housing promotes behavioral variability within the breeding herd, it can cause several management challenges for producers ...
Anonymity, Social Identification, and Online Social Influence
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
This experiment investigated the primacy of social identification in the online social influence process with anonymity as a contextual variable. Other key variables were perceived argument strength and attitude toward ...
Investigating the Effect of Temperature and Lighting on Learning Performance of Students Using Physiological Responses
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Temperature and lighting level are relatively important parameters of indoor environment in a university classroom because they affect students' learning performance. Previous research primarily focused on analyzing students' ...
Genomic Characterization of Necrotrophic Effector Sensitivity Genes in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The necrotrophic fungal pathogens Parastagonospora nodorum and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis cause the diseases septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) and tan spot, respectively, reducing yield by decreasing the photosynthetic area ...
“Only as Strong as We All Make It:” The Limitations of Fargo’s Civil Defense during the Early Cold War (1950-1964)
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
In this thesis, I argue that civil defense failed to take hold in the United States because it required local communities to take responsibility for protective measures. Fargo, North Dakota provides a case study for this ...
The Impacts of Exotic Species on Native Bee Communities and Interactions in Novel Northern Great Plains Grasslands
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Human alterations to landscapes impose novel conditions on native plant and animal species. Exotic plants are among these changes and are presently common and prevalent across Northern Great Plains (NGP) grasslands. Their ...
