Sustainable Thermosetting Polymers: Biobased Epoxy Resin Systems and Aqueous Non-Isocyanate Polyurethanes
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
In recent years, there has been a desire to seek alternatives to petrochemically derived materials. These alternatives can be derived from renewable sources such as vegetable oils. However, methods for achieving sustainability ...
Soybean Iron Deficiency Chlorosis and Amaranthus Suppression by an Oat Companion Crop
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) and weedy Amaranthus species are two production challenges affecting soybean production in North Dakota. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of an oat companion crop on ...
Calcium Acetate: An Alternative to Gypsum for Brine Impacted Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
With North Dakota being ranked as a leading producer of oil and natural gas in the United States, the possibility of accidental produced water (aka “brine” or “salt water”) spills is a continuous concern. Brine water poses ...
A Field Study on LiDAR Sensor for Unmanned Ground Vehicle Navigation Application in Precision Agriculture
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
LiDAR sensor’s mapping and detection abilities make these sensors an important tool for research on navigation and object detection for robots and vehicles. This study used a ground robot and LiDAR sensor to collect ...
A Numerical Study and Optimization of a Morphing and Pitching Boeing Vertol VR-12 Rotorcraft Airfoil
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The helicopter blade has not undergone any major change in design in recent history, only minor adjustments like swept blade tips, variable twist blade, and application of small gurney flap style trailing edge devices. ...
Microwave Measurement of Grain and Biomass
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Microwave measurement is a powerful method for mass prediction and grain detection. Existing systems are well adapted for small volume grain measurements, but cannot accommodate materials other than grain (e.g. biomass), ...
Lenses of Understanding: Socially Constructed Meaning Making in Education Abroad
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The purpose of this study was to explore meaning making in the context of education abroad. This was conducted through three articles exploring elements of this process, including how programs may be framed through marketing ...
Lattice Gas and Lattice Boltzmann Methods for Fluctuating Systems, Barrier Coatings, and Overrelaxation
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
In the field of computational fluid dynamics, lattice gas and lattice Boltzmann methods are powerful simulation methods derived from kinetic theory. These methods are renowned for their simplicity of implementation and ...
Optimal Resource Allocation to Minimize Last Mile Delivery Costs
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
This study focusses on a decision-making tool to assist an organization in planning for capacity needed for the Last Mile Delivery (LMD) services which is the most expensive part of the entire supply chain. Considering the ...
X-Ray Induced Mutagenesis in Sunflower Pollen
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The identification of new sunflower hybrids that have desirable traits depends on the availability of adequate genetic resources. A critical part of sunflower breeding is to find and recombine genetic variability into ...
