Eightfold architecture
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This thesis investigates the question of how Eightfold Architecture can help inspire us to save existing abandoned buildings, and with this bring an enlightened functionality to transitional areas of our cities. The concept ... -
Electrical Performance Analysis of a Novel Embedded Chip Technology
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Recently ultra-thin embedded die technology gained much attention for their reduced footprint, light weight, conformality and three-dimensional assembly capabilities. The traditional flexible circuit fabrication process ... -
Electrically Conductive Polymers and their Use as Novel Pigments in Advanced Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2018)With the push to more environmentally friendly materials to solve some of the biggest challenges in the coatings industry, electrically conductive polymers (ECPs) are seen as a flexible solution due to their unique properties. ... -
An Electrically Small, Wireless Sensor Platform Designed for Arbitrary Orientation
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Wireless sensors are currently used for data collection where it is either too dangerous and/or menial for a human to collect the data or impractical to use wired devices. Current wireless sensors are either too expensive ... -
Electricity Demand Prediction Using Artificial Neural Network Framework
(North Dakota State University, 2015)As the economy is growing, electricity usage has been growing and to meet the needs of energy market in providing the electricity without power outages, utility companies, distributors and investors need a powerful tool ... -
Electrochemical and Mechanical Properties Studies of Flexible Mg-rich Primers
(North Dakota State University, 2010)The coating systems for military aircraft must protect the aluminum skin and frame, and associated fastening and joining from corrosion in a variety of aggressive environments. Excessive grinding is often needed to remove ... -
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Study of the Ultraviolet Exposure of Ballistic Resistant Polymer Matrix Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)This study examined the effect of ultraviolet radiation on ballistic resistant polymer matrix composites. Two composite systems studied included a phenolic matrix with either S2 Glass® or Kevlar® fiber laminates. These ... -
Electrochemical Investigation of Corrosion Resistance of Weldments in Steel Bridges
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Welding is commonly used for connecting steel components in steel bridge fabrication and construction. Welding processes change the microstructures, properties of surrounding steel and its surface texture. In this study, ... -
Electrochemical Investigation of Powder Coatings and Their Application to Magnesium-Rich Primers For Corrosion Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Corrosion is the decomposition of metal and metal alloys which threatens the integrity of manmade structures. One of the more efficient methods of delaying the corrosion process in metals is by coatings. In this work, ... -
Electrochemical Method for Characterization and Ranking of Corrosion Inhibitors
(North Dakota State University, 2017)One of the most cost-effective methods in mitigating corrosion effects is through the use of corrosion inhibitors. This work studied the performance of eight organic inhibitors on mild steel substrate through electrochemical ... -
Electrodynamic Suspension: The Future of Rail Travel in the United States
(North Dakota State University, 2022)With the steady increase in population throughout the United States, the issue of transportation is becoming more of a problem. With how prevalent personal car ownership is American culture, the number of vehicles on ... -
An Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopic Investigation of Molecular Interactions at Hydroxyapatite-Collagen Interfaces in Healthy and Diseased (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) Human Bone and Biomineralized Tissue-Engineered Bone
(North Dakota State University, 2018)At its primary level (nm scale) bone is a nanocomposite consisting of a mineral (hydroxyapatite) phase which gives bone its strength and an organic (type I collagen) phase giving bone its fracture toughness. Hydroxyapatite, ... -
