Influence of Habitat Characteristics on Amphibian Stress and Reproductive Success in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
As amphibians continue to decline, conservation efforts are a necessity in management plans. It is essential to determine the correlation between water characteristics, stress, and habitat alteration with anuran losses. ...
Adverse Childhood Experiences Among College Students: Best-Practice Recommendations for Student Health Clinicians
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are highly prevalent and considered a global public health crisis (Forgash, 2015). ACEs are associated with toxic stress resulting in severe impairment of the cardiovascular, endocrine, ...
Does Mattering Really Matter to Graduate Students?
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
As graduate student attrition hovers around 50%, scholars are beginning to study what is leading to these high attrition rates (Wao, 2010). As there has been little theoretical work done on graduate student retention, a ...
Impacts of Invasive Plant Species on the Plant Community in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Invasive species are encroaching rangelands in the U.S. and altering community composition and plant diversity. In the Northern Great Plains, exotic cool-season perennial grasses (Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis; crested ...
Building Envelope Containing Phase Change Materials for Energy-Efficient Buildings
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Energy consumption in the building sector has increased dramatically over the past two decades. The incorporation of phase change materials (PCMs) into building envelopes is considered as effective thermal energy storage ...
An Analysis of Muscle Activity During Load Carriage, ACFT Scores, and Back Pain in Army ROTC Cadets
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Context: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading musculoskeletal complaint among the military population. Load carriage tasks are a frequently reported mechanism of injury for low back pain (LBP) in the Army. Furthermore, researchers ...
Altering Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Education for Allied Health Care Providers Based on Self-Reported Experiences with Recertification
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Health care providers (nurses, athletic trainers, and emergency medical services [EMS] personnel) are expected to perform high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) regardless of their confidence. Also, regardless ...
Integrating the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Approaches for an Enhanced Police Performance Measurement System
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
An effective performance measurement system is an integral part of modern police management. Police agencies have measured their performance against a very restricted set of crime-focused indicators, such as crime rates, ...
Manipulation and Isolation of Biomolecules Using Dielectrophoretic and Hydrodynamic Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Novel particle manipulation techniques are developed to separate, isolate, and control a wide range biomolecules from DNA to cells in complex solution such as whole blood. First, we show that integrating an insulating tip ...
Comparing Prediction Methods of Wheat Grain Quality With the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
A widely used breeding method is genomic selection, which uses genome-wide marker coverage to predict genotypic values for quantitative traits. Genomic selection combines molecular and phenotypic data in a training population ...
