A New Reliability Assessment Model for Power Electronic Modules Considering Failure Mechanism Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2015)A reliability prediction method is proposed to determine the lifetime of IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) under power cycling test based on the performance of solder joint and wire bond. The failure characteristics ... -
A New Root: Architecture for Food
(North Dakota State University, 2023)Only 17% of America’s land is considered ideal for agricultural purposes. However, traditional agriculture ruins our land in the long run by depleting the soil of essential nutrients. By conserving the land, we can reap ... -
A New School: Alternative Learning Environments for the Future
(North Dakota State University, 2024)The benefits of how educational architecture can leverage outdoor spaces and natural light to enhance learning, and promote sustainable learning is important to study for the future of the education system and how we can ... -
New Strategies for Ruthenium Catalyzed C-C Bond Formation
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation allows direct functionalization of the ubiquitous C-H bonds in organic molecules to increase the molecular complexity. Since Murai's pioneering work in ruthenium catalyzed ... -
New Strategies for Transition Metal Catalyzed C-C and C-N Bond Formation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Transition metal catalysis emerged as an essential tool in the field of organic chemistry. In this context, transition metal catalyzed C-H bond functionalization is considered as an alluring strategy as it occurs with the ... -
A New Structural Feature for Lysine Post-Translation Modification Prediction Using Machine Learning
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Lysine post-translational modification (PTM) plays a vital role in modulating multiple biological processes and functions. Lab-based lysine PTM identification is laborious and time-consuming, which impede large-scale ... -
New Touch Park
(North Dakota State University, 2022)My study is to answer the question how can landscapes themselves be interactive, could they be learning & teaching experiences? Can you learn actively from design? Could a landscape teach you a story of a people or a lesson? ... -
A New way to connect to travel
(North Dakota State University, 2015)This thesis examines how architecture can make mass transit more accessible and desirable to the public and how the public’s wants and needs can improve a transportation center’s design. It examines how making downtown ... -
New York City FC Stadium: Making Stadiums Worth Their Price
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In the US alone there is almost 250 major sporting venues. Some dating back to the late 1800’s. These stadiums are beautifully crafted, enormous in size and can hold thousands of people for a game. The only issue with ... -
Newspapers as a Form of Settler Colonialism: An Examination of the Dakota Access Pipeline Protest and American Indian Representation in Indigenous, State, and National News
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Settler colonial history underlies much of contemporary industry, including the extraction and transportation of crude oil. It presents itself in a variety of contexts; however, this disquisition applies a traditional ... -
Next Location Prediction Model: A Geohashed Based Recurrent Neural Network
(North Dakota State University, 2021)This work investigates the significance of choosing appropriate recurrent neural networks (RNNs) architecture for a spatiotemporal next location prediction framework. Dockless shared micro-mobility sharing programs provide ... -
The Nexus Between Local Needs and Aspirations of Ugandans and Global Education Goals; A Case Study
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The United Nations promotes access to basic education as an indelible right for all children, leading to the global push for Education for All (EFA) as a vehicle for realizing the global Millennium Development Goals. EFA ... -
Nexus: Creating Necessary Bonds Through Communal Living
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The main topic of this this thesis is community based public housing, meaning that this project focuses on the communal aspects of public housing and how they can be incorporated into a building in order to create a more ... -
Nitrogen and Phosphorus Recalibration for Sunflower in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Sunflower is one of the most important annual crops grown for edible oil in the world and is grown in North Dakota and the northern Great Plains more than any other region in the United States. Sunflower production and ... -
