Publishing Public History: Publishing Options for Small Organizations
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Publishing books and catalogs has long been the domain of large museums and historical societies that have an equally large budget. While large organizations can commit vast amounts of time and resources to publishing, ...
Evaluating Mechanisms of Metastasis of Prostate Cancer to Bone Using 3D Bone-Mimetic Tissue Engineered Scaffolds
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The complex nature of cancer metastasis necessitates the development of a cancer model based on specific metastatic stages. In this dissertation, we report a polymer-nanoclay based in vitro tumor model which recapitulates ...
Experimental Investigation of the Temperature Effects on the Behavior of Adhesively-Bonded Dissimilar Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The effects of temperature on the fatigue and low velocity impact (LVI) behaviors of adhesively-bonded single-lap joints (SLJs) composed of a pultruded E-glass/polyurethane composite bonded to 5052 aluminum and A36 steel ...
Method for Compliance Controlled Adhesive Switching and Magnetically Controlled Switchable Adhesives
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Adhesives are used in a variety of ways and are so common that they are easily overlooked. Adhesive hooks, tapes, glues, and switchable climbing mechanisms used by insects and lizards are clear examples of how adhesives ...
Bifurcation Portrait of a Hybrid Spiking Neuron Model
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
A bifurcation portrait classifies the behavior of a dynamical system and how it transitions between different behaviors. A hybrid dynamical system displays both continuous and discrete dynamics and may display nonsmooth ...
A New Generalization of Cohen-Kaplansky Domains
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The goal of this thesis is to provide an new generalization of Cohen-Kaplansky domains,
stemming from questions related to valuation domains. Recall that a Cohen-Kaplansky domain is
an atomic integral domain that contains ...
Fatigue Analysis of Arteries Using Finite Element Method
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
In this thesis, the fatigue response of arteries to four specific physiological conditions representative of various morphological changes that artery undergo during its lifetime, was explored. Single layered nonlinear ...
Colorings of Zero-Divisor Graphs of Commutative Rings
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
We will focus on Beck’s conjecture that the chromatic number of a zero-divisor graph of a ring R is equal to the clique number of the ring R. We begin by calculating the chromatic number of the zero-divisor graphs for some ...
Resolutions and Semidualizing Modules
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Projective and injective modules are of key importance in algebra, in part because of their useful homological properties. The notion of C-projective and C-injective modules generalizes these constructions. In particular, ...
Understanding Students’ Perceptions of Difficulty and the Effect Difficulty Has on Mathematical Anxiety
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
There exists a growing atmosphere surrounding mathematics that allows individuals to exclaim their belief they are deficient in math without any societal judgement. Compared to a state like being illiterate, we have reached ...
