Food Safety Culture: An Underlying Cause for Success and Failures of Food Safety Management Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Food Safety Culture (FSC) is an emerging behavior-based food-safety management concept. FSC has been linked as an underlying cause for food-safety management-system failures during foodborne outbreaks and recall investigations. ... -
For the Need
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Architecture is often thought of as a grand, expensive undertaking – one reserved only for the privileged and for those who can afford to build huge houses, breathtaking museums, and playthings for the rich. However, ... -
Foraging Ecology of Rangeland Bats
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Land-use and land cover changes impact the distribution of landscape features in rangelands and wildlife use of the landscape. To balance the requirements of wildlife groups that respond differently to landscape features, ... -
Foraging Strategies and Morphometric Characteristics of Bats in North and South Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Insectivorous bats are an important group for studying links between dietary flexibility and associated impacts on foraging and morphology of individuals from different populations. Since different habitats generally have ... -
Force of Nature: Encouraging Therapeutic Design and Healing through Social, Sensory and Seasonal Planning for the Stanford Broadway Medical Center
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Hospitals are revered as the epicenter of health and some doctors are even equated to gods. Modern medicine has come a long way and many lives have been spared due to medical advances of the 20th century. Yet most patients ... -
Ford Park: Creating Hydrologically Sensitive Connections to the Mississippi Riverfront System
(2016)The main question this study aims to answer is how can we create an urban space that celebrates the riverfront at all times of the year, while still creating viable flood protection? Other questions considered are, what ... -
Forecasting Batter Performance using Statcast Data in Major League Baseball
(North Dakota State University, 2017)2015 saw the release of the Statcast camera system within Major League Baseball ballparks, which provided statisticians with new data to analyze. One statistic, average exit velocity, is of particular interest. We would ... -
Forecasting Point Spread for Women’s Volleyball
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Volleyball has become a well-known and competitive sport with physical and technical performances over the years. The game results are determined by some important factors such as players, and the team’s skills to succeed ... -
Foreign Material Identification and Removal in the Food Safety Industry
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Changes in the food industry including the mass production in response to the globalization of the food chain have led to additional food safety and quality challenges for the food industry. One aspect of these challenges ... -
Form and Functionality of Additively Manufactured Parts with Internal Structure
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The tool-less additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing processes (3DP) use incremental consolidation of feed-stock materials to construct part. The layer by layer AM processes can achieve spatial material distribution ... -
Form Through Photo
(North Dakota State University, 2016)How can photography can influence architectural design? By looking at case studies, this thesis assesses how geometry, permeability and reactions can influence the architecture of a historic building in Minneapolis. -
Formal and Informal Labeling Effects on Later Self-Reported Non-Violent and Violent Delinquency
(North Dakota State University, 2011)This research examines the impact of formal and informal labeling on self-reported violent and non-violent delinquency. This longitudinal research design utilizes cohort 15 from the Project on Human Development in Chicago ... -
Formal Modeling and Verification Methodologies for Quasi-Delay Insensitive Asynchronous Circuits
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Pre-Charge Half Buffers (PCHB) and NULL convention Logic (NCL) are two major commercially successful Quasi-Delay Insensitive (QDI) asynchronous paradigms, which are known for their low-power performance and inherent ... -
Formal Verification Methodologies for NULL Convention Logic Circuits
(North Dakota State University, 2020)NULL Convention Logic (NCL) is a Quasi-Delay Insensitive (QDI) asynchronous design paradigm that aims to tackle some of the major problems synchronous designs are facing as the industry trend of increased clock rates and ... -
Formal Verification Methodology for Asynchronous Sleep Convention Logic Circuits Based on Equivalence Verification
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Sleep Convention Logic (SCL) is an emerging ultra-low power Quasi-Delay Insensitive (QDI) asynchronous design paradigm with enormous potential for industrial applications. Design validation is a critical concern before ... -
A Formal Verification Methodology for Real-time FPGA
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Real-time systems in safety-critical and mission-critical domains have stringent or hard timing constraints. The correctness of such systems is of prime importance to avoid any unacceptable consequences like a big financial ... -
Formal Verification Techniques for Safety Critical Medical Device Software Control
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Safety-critical medical devices play an important role in improving patients health and lifestyle. Faulty behaviors of such devices can cause harm or even death. Often these faulty behaviors are caused due to bugs in ... -
The Formation and Evolution of the Stockton Island Tombolo, Refined by OSL Geochronology
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Past research conducted on strandplain sequences has shown strandplains can record Holocene lake level changes. The Stockton Island tombolo, of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, holds such a record within its eastern ... -
Formation and Lifespans of Emergent Recovery Groups in Post-Katrina New Orleans
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, numerous groups emerged to address recovery related needs in Orleans and St. Bernard Parishes. The phenomenon of emergent groups is widely noted in the disaster literature, but there ... -
Forming Neighborhood: Creating Community Identity through Connectivity, Placemaking, and Functionality for the Urban Plains Development in Southwest Fargo
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The city of Fargo, ND has been growing steadily in recent years. This has brought up issues of urban sprawl and lack of intentional design because developers mainly just try to keep up with the demand. It is becoming a ...
