Adaptation of Quality Protein Maize (Zea Mays L.) to Northern U.S. Corn Belt
(North Dakota State University, 2015)There is a need to increase the value of crops and develop the next generation of healthier products. Quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) is an option but has never been adapted to short – season environments. Quality ... -
ADAPTATION: Leveraging Modern Narratives towards Preservation and Public Uses of Pueblo Bonito's World Heritage Ruins in New Mexico's Central Chaco Canyon
(North Dakota State University, 2019)This study focuses on creating new narratives to cultural heritage sites by comparing concepts of ruins from cultural heritage sites and post-industrial landscapes. Both landscapes share that unifying feature of ruins and ... -
Adapting an icon : adaptive reuse of downtown movie theaters
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Downtown theaters serve as landmarks for many communities across our region because of their unique design features. Elaborate auditoriums, decorated facades, and flashy, grand marquees are all iconic characteristics of ... -
Adapting the City
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The title of this thesis is “Adapting the City Center” and explores the question of how do the long-term effects of rapid housing development at Fargo, North Dakota’s perimeter compare to those of adaptive reuse, interwoven ... -
Adapting Web Page Tables on Mobile Web Browsers: Results from Two Controlled Empirical Studies
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Displaying web page content in mobile screens is a challenging task and users often face difficulty retrieving the relevant data. It can force them to adopt a time-consuming hunt-and-peck strategy. Application of design ... -
Adaptive Architectural Value Engineering: A Study of Influencing Factors
(North Dakota State University, 2018)A study to define value, and define it as a critical variable in domestic residential design and construction, by the use of evaluation of adaptive symbolic models using designer controlled endogenous and external exogenous ... -
Adaptive Architecture: Design for a Declining Global Population
(North Dakota State University, 2010)In the face of a declining human population, our ability to plan for and adapt to future circumstances will be essential if we, as a global community, are to not only preserve our built environment, but also ensure its ... -
Adaptive Beamforming for Antennas on General Wedge- and Cylindrical-Shaped Surfaces
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Adaptive beamforming antennas capable of accommodating the growing number of wireless subscribers throughout the world has become an essential part of modern wireless systems. In this work, the beamforming of a conformal ... -
Adaptive Differential Evolution and its Application to Machine Vision
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Over recent years, Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) have emerged as a practical approach for solving hard optimization problems ubiquitously presented in real life. The inherent advantage of EA over other types of numerical ... -
Adaptive Learning Center
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The title of the thesis is Adaptive Learning Center. The building is located in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado and is a 14,000 sq. ft. facility. The typology for this building is an environmental learning center/visitor ... -
Adaptive Management as a Tool in the Restoration of Grassland, Wetland, and Riparian Ecosystems within the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Four individual restoration projects were conducted across grassland, wetland, and riparian ecosystems in the Northern Great Plains, with common themes of adaptive management and enhancing native plant species presence. ... -
Adaptive Mesh Refinment Applications for Adviction-Diffusion Problems Using Amrex
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In this paper we implemented an adaptive mesh refinement in high performance computing environment to study a wide range of problems in engineering. They are nonlinear Fisher-Kolmogorov equation, heat equation, advection ... -
Adaptive Production Planning and Scheduling for the Make-to-order DNA Manufacturing System
(North Dakota State University, 2010)This thesis develops an adaptive production planning and scheduling system for the make-to-order plasmid (DNA) manufacturing system. The system, which has stochastic nature and random demand, was represented by a ... -

(North Dakota State University, 2024)This project explores the alternative needs of modern nomadic living. Rather than living life with the focus of the collection of things, 21st century nomadism places a focus on experiences and stories. This project will ... -
Adaptive Regression Testing Strategies for Cost-Effective Regression Testing
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Regression testing is an important but expensive part of the software development life-cycle. Many different techniques have been proposed for reducing the cost of regression testing. To date, much research has been performed ... -
Adaptive Regression Testing Strategy: An Empirical Study
(North Dakota State University, 2012)When software systems evolve, different amounts of code modifications can be involved in different versions. These factors can affect the costs and benefits of regression testing techniques, and thus, there may be no single ... -
Adaptive Reuse: Repurposing a Vacant College Campus for New Occupancy
(North Dakota State University, 2024)Adaptive reuse has been a design strategy in buildings existing for centuries. The adaptation of a building, also known as recycling or conversion, is the process of reusing an existing building other than what it was ... -
