Frost Depth Prediction
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The purpose of this research project is to develop a model that is able to accurately predict frost depth on a particular date, using available information. Frost depth prediction is useful in many applications in several ... -
The Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Problem
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Fruit and vegetable consumption is an essential component of a healthy diet and one of the most modifiable risk factors for chronic disease. Only a small percentage of the world’s population consumes the recommended amount ... -
Functional Bioactive Compounds from Sweet Potatoes for Human Health Benefits
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Global food and nutritional insecurities, public health challenges of diet-linked non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs), and rapid climate change-linked agricultural production challenges are interconnected and require ... -
Functional Colloids from Amphiphilic Polymer Assemblies and Peptides/Polypeptides
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The use of responsive polymers, where even minor changes in one of the macromolecular characteristics triggered by the external stimuli can cause drastic changes in the material function or performance, is widely studying ... -
Functionality of a Damaged Steel Truss Bridge Strengthened with Post-Tensioned CFRP Tendons
(North Dakota State University, 2012)This research program investigates the performance of a steel truss bridge when subjected to both localized web damage and a subsequent post-tensioned strengthening approach. The investigation utilizes a combined approach ... -
Functionalization of Heterocycles: A Metal Catalyzed Approach via Allylation and C-H Activation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)The central core of many biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals contain N-heterocycles, the installation of simple/complex functional groups using C-H/N-H functionalization methodologies has the potential ... -
Fundamental Studies of Interfacial Forces Acting on Thin Films
(North Dakota State University, 2021)A thin film is a material that is many orders of magnitude thinner than it is long or wide. They are commonly found in many forms and have been adapted to a wide variety of uses. The art of origami uses thin films(sheets ... -
Fundamental Surface Properties and Gas-Surface Interactions of Two-Dimensional Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Heterogeneous model catalysis with supported nanomaterials on ultra-thin two-dimensional films has contributed significantly to improve the existing industrial catalytic processes, as well as to discover novel ways to ... -
Fundamental Urban Features Utilized by Small-Town America
(North Dakota State University, 2006)This project focuses on an entire city or town and how it must be designed to revitalize its center. Due to the fact that I will be looking at the entire cities, there is no specific site to be aware of. Two towns are the ... -
Funding the Technology of a Research University
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Using the central information technology unit (CITU) on the North Dakota State University (NDSU) campus, this project triangulated two independent studies in an effort to converge data findings. The studies were conducted ... -
Further Characterization of Pathogen Virulence and Genetic Mapping of New Virulence Genes in Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, the Causal Agent of Tan Spot of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot of wheat, a devastating foliar disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum L., 2n=4x=28, AABB). ... -
