Development and Evaluation of a Greenhouse Testing Procedure for Cold-Hardiness in Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Experiments were conducted to develop a greenhouse test for comparing the cold tolerance of winter wheat genotypes. Winter-survival is a complex trait and in field trials it has low heritability, consequently, selection ... -
Development and Genetic Regulation of the Novel Abdominal Appendages in the Male Sepsid Fly, Themira Biloba
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Evolutionary novel structures are structures with no known homology. Novel structures often provide a novel function to the organism. Some species of sepsid flies (family Sepsidae) have evolved novel abdominal appendages ... -
Development and Implementation of an Evidence-Based Buprenorphine-Naloxone Medication Assisted Treatment Program in a Primary Care Setting
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Opioid abuse is one of the most significant drug-related public health threats in the United States (U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, 2016). Approximately 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose in the United ... -
Development and Scale Up of Aqueous Surfactant-Assisted Extraction of Canola Oil for Use as Biodiesel Feedstock
(North Dakota State University, 2012)In oilseed extraction, alternative extraction media have been studied to replace the traditional solvent, hexane, due to health, safety, and environmental concerns. In this work, aqueous surfactant-assisted extraction was ... -
The Development and Use of Chiral 4-Dimethylaminopyridine-N-Oxide as an Organocatalyst
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Organocatalysis is a field that has bloomed over the last decades. With the field’s promise of being able to mimic nature and afford products in a synergistic manner to traditional Lewis acid catalysis, several interesting ... -
Development and Validation of a Library for Iterative Window-Based Processing of Geospatial Data
(North Dakota State University, 2021)High-resolution spectral images and digital elevation models are widely available. With this quantity of data, it is imperative to develop fast algorithms to extract information. We present a Python library that implements ... -
The Development and Validation of a New Pre-Shot Routine Model for Golf
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the past research that has been conducted to date on pre-shot routines in golf via a thorough review of the literature. A historical review is presented in a ... -
Development and Validation of Feedback-Based Testing Tutor Tool to Support Software Testing Pedagogy
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Current testing education tools provide coverage deficiency feedback that either mimics industry code coverage tools or enumerates through the associated instructor tests that were absent from the student’s test suite. ... -
Development of a Diverse Base Population for Hard Red Winter Wheat Recurrent Mass Selection
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Limited germplasm is available for a newly established NDSU hard red winter wheat breeding program. Therefore, a diverse pre-breeding base population was produced to broaden genetic variability through recurrent mass ... -
Development of a Genetic Transformation System of Raspberry Cultivars for Gene Function Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2018)An Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system of purple raspberry ‘Amethyst’ was established after a series of experiments that determined the effect of genotype, inoculum density, and co-cultivation time on transformation. ... -
Development of a High-Efficiency, Cost-Effective Ground Source Heat Pump System for Single-Family Houses
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Multi-Source Heat Pump systems are intended to achieve a high system efficiency through the combined or alternate use of two or more sources for a heat pump. This thesis entails the research work to develop a hybrid Ground ... -
Development of a Molecular Marker to Track APA G40199 Introgression in Common Bean for Bruchid Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), the main seed storage pests are the bruchid beetles. Damage done to the seed by the larvae has a large impact on seed quality and yield. Arcelin (ARC), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), and ... -
