Single-seed Descent, Single-pod Descent, and Bulk Methods in Soybean
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] breeders need to use the most efficient and
inexpensive method to advance populations during the inbreeding process. Most breeders
in the soybean industry prefer the bulk method because ...
Evaluating Financial, Social, and Waterbird Implications of Farming Within Wetlands Imbedded in Agricultural Fields
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Wetlands of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) provide many ecosystem services to the region such as floodwater attenuation, maintenance of water quality, carbon sequestration, and wildlife habitat. The biophysical process ...
Identification of Genomic Regions Associated With Color-Related Traits in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum Desf.) is one of the main crops for human consumption, and it is an essential ingredient for pasta production. The color of pasta can range from bright yellow to dim brown. Pasta ...

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health hearing loss is the third most prevalent condition after high blood pressure and arthritis in the United States (U.S.) (NIOSH, 2019). An estimated 22 ...
Characterization of North Dakota Hard Red Spring Wheat for Stem and Stripe Rust Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) and Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) are causal agents of devastating wheat stem and stripe rust diseases, respectively. Both diseases sporadically occur in North Dakota (ND), ...
Genome-wide Association Study and Genomic Prediction for Pod Shatter Resistance in Brassica napus L.
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The release of seeds from a mature dry pod is known as shattering. Pod shattering results in significant yield losses in rapeseed/canola. An experiment was conducted in five environments in 2020 and 2021 under the field ...
An Experimental Study of Fluid-Structure Interaction in Collapsible Vessels
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The fluid-structure interaction in collapsible thin-walled vessels is an important topic of research to better understand the physical mechanisms behind many physiological processes and diseases. In this work, we established ...
Investigating the Influences of Ingredients, W/C Ratio and Dispersion Methods for CNT Modified Smart Concrete
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have excellent electromechanical properties and can be added into cement using appropriate dispersive means to produce CNT-modified cement-based smart materials (CNTCS). This study investigates how ...
Surface Modifying Amphiphilic Additives for the Improvement of Fouling-Release Properties of Siloxane-Polyurethane Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Since mankind has navigated the world’s oceans, marine biofouling has been a persistent problem with several negative economic and environmental consequences. In modern times, the buildup of biofouling causes a significant ...
