Stochastic Characterization, Simulation, and Analysis of Environmental (Precipitation and Temperature) Inputs into the M-E Design Framework
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The engineering design of pavements is a complex process requiring regular updating and
calibration to produce durable and resilient road surfaces. To achieve this goal, research is
conducted continuously to obtain input ...
Virtual-Experiment-Driven Process Model (VEDPM)
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Computer simulations are the last resort for many complex problems such as swarm
applications. However, to the best of the author's knowledge, there is no convincing work
in proving ''What You Simulate ls What You See'' ...
Shifting Perspectives: Desocialization and the Journey Toward Critical Consciousness
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The purpose of this study was to investigate how a service-learning course fosters
students' development of a critical consciousness. Participants of this research study were
students who participated in the 2009 ...
Antimicrobial Resistance and Presence of Integrons in Salmonella Isolated from Animals and Humans in the United States of America and Uganda
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Salmonella has been cited as one of the leading causes of food borne illness world wide
and in the United States (US), as well as an indicator organism for studying antimicrobial
resistance (AMR) trends. The objective ...
Foaming Kinetics of Closed Cell Rigid Polyurethane Foam
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Rigid polyurethane foams have shown promise in several applications as a means to
reduce weight without compromising structural properties. Information about the
chemical formula of the liquid components, the reaction ...
Electronic Payment System Decision Support with Bloom's Taxonomy
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The primary goal of this paper is to develop an online course that enables students
to learn about electronic payment systems by applying Bloom's taxonomy. There are six
levels in Bloom's taxonomy, with knowledge ...
Life Coaching and VISTA Members: What is the Nature of Impact?
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Research related specifically to coaching has increased gradually over the past
few years. Most of the research has revolved around executive coaching, and there
are limited research studies about certified coaches. To ...
An Exploration of the Relationship between College Women's Self-Reported Religiosity and Sexuality
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This study explored how female college students' religiosity varied according to their
sexual behavior and attitudes. However, research is limited to showing that never-married
female college students who have a high ...
Smart Robotic Arm Control through Autonomous Object Detection and Retrieval
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This paper outlines the design and development of a robotic arm that can
automatically detect and locate an object within its working envelope, reach to the object,
grab the object with the aid of force feedback, bring ...
Optimizing Incident Management Strategies Using Simulation
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Incidents, pre-programmed or random, are major sources of congestion on urban freeways.
With many of urban freeways in the US operating close to capacity, the need to reduce the
impact of incident-related congestion has ...
