Frequent Substring-Based Sequence Classification Using Reduced Alphabets
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
In recent years, various disciplines have generated large quantities of sequence
data which has necessitated automated techniques for classifying these sequences
into different categories of interest. Especially with the ...
Changes in Negative Affect Following Pain (vs. Nonpainful) Stimulation in Individuals With and Without a History of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Theoretical models of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI; i.e., purposeful destruction of body
tissue without suicidal intent) suggest that individuals engage in NSSI in order to regulate
intense emotions. However, empirical ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Polyvinylether Polymers Produced Using Carbocationic Polymerization
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Using carbocationic polymerization, a series of novel polyvinylether polymers and
copolymers were synthesized and characterized. A series of polysiloxane copolymers
containing polymer grafts possessing Triclosan moieties ...
Genomic Analysis of Tan Spot and Stagonospora Nodorum Blotch Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Host-selective toxins, or necrotrophic effectors, are important determinants of
disease in both wheat-Stagonospora nodorum and wheat- Pyrenophora tritici-repentis
pathosystems. This study describes the identification, ...
Anaerobic Co-digestion of Dairy Manure with Canola Meal
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
There has been an increase of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs)
generating large amounts of manure. When this manure is not handled properly, it
generates greenhouse gases (GHGs), odors and water pollution. ...
Applying Group Perspectives: Student Behavior Change Resulting from a Co-Curricular Leadership Development Program
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This descriptive study explored undergraduate student application of leadership
concepts and corresponding change in leadership behavior resulting from participation in a
co-curricular leadership development program. ...
Effects of Swine Slurry on Sorption of 17~-estradiol to Soil
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
178-estradiol (E2) is a potent endocrine disrupting compound that is found in swine
manure. Liquid swine manure or otherwise knov.n as swine slurry is commonly used as a
form of fertilizer in agricultural practices. ...
Integration of Simulation and DEA to Determine the Most Efficient Patient Appointment Scheduling Model for a Specific Clinic Setting
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This study develops a method to determine the most efficient scheduling model for
a specific clinic setting.
The appointment scheduling system assigns clinics' timeslots to incoming requests.
There are three major ...
Factors Influencing Carbon Sequestration in Northern Great Plains Grasslands
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Soil development is influenced by the five soil forming factors; parent material,
climate, landscape, organisms and time. This study was designed to examine the effects of
landscape and organisms (vegetation) on carbon ...
Automated Tool for Software Requirements Inspection
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The software inspection process is a very cost effective method of identifying
defects in documents produced during the software life cycle, leading to higher quality
software with lower field failures. Manual inspections ...
