Supplemental Leucine in Milk Replacer Fed to Neonatal Calves and Lambs: Effects on Growth, Development, and Metabolism
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Maximizing growth during the neonatal period in preruminants can enhance long-term growth and productivity, increasing producer profits and input efficiency. Meeting the requirements for growth can be achieved through ... -
Supplementation of Corn Dried Distiller's Grains Plus Solubles to Gestating Beef Cows Fed Low-Quality Forage
(North Dakota State University, 2015)To investigate the effects of corn dried distiller’s grains plus solubles (DDGS) supplementation to cows during late gestation, 27 multiparous beef cows were divided randomly into 2 treatment groups (CON; n = 15; SUP = ... -
Supplementing Metabolizable Protein to Ewes during Late Gestation: Effects on Ewe and Offspring Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2013)We hypothesized that MP intake at or above requirements during late gestation would improve dam and offspring performance. In year 1, ewes received one of three isocaloric dietary treatments during late gestation: 60MP1: ... -
Supply Chain Management and Lean Six Sigma in a Retail Environment
(North Dakota State University, 2013)This qualitative research evaluated the as-is supply chain management and logistics retail processes of Dell, a manufacturing company that also has retail operations globally. Dell has an online channel capable of serving ... -
Supporting Transitions of Homeless Youth: Evaluating Residential Program Frameworks, Structure and Educational Collaborations
(North Dakota State University, 2013)With varying definitions and reports of appropriate transitions to independent living situations, it is difficult to decipher which residential models and approaches have the greatest impact on homeless youth. This project ... -
Supporting Youth Living in Family Homeless Shelters
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Supporting youth living in family homeless shelters is important as these families face multiple barriers in their lives. Youth have many strengths that they build upon which can be useful as they bounce from home to home. ... -
Supportive Learning: Live, Grow
(North Dakota State University, 2013)This thesis is an investigation into how design can facilitate and enhance learning for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. By designing for groups of people with very specific needs, we learn how architecture can ... -
Suppressing Canada Thistle Establishment with Native Seed Mixes and Resulting Cost Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) on conservation lands is costly and diminishes conservation objectives. This project was designed to control Canada thistle by spiking native seed mixtures. Spiking is where a native seed ... -
Supramolecular Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess extraordinary mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity. These properties make them very attractive in many applications in the fields of nanotechnology, ... -
Surface and Interface Effects on the Photoexcited Process of Silver Nanoclusters, and Lead & Cadmium Chalcogenide Nanocrystals
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The surface and interface of the metal nanoclusters and semiconducting nanomaterials play a key role in determining the electronic structure and overall photophysical properties. A single strand DNA stabilizes the metal ... -
Surface Chemistry Characterization of Hydrodesulfurization and Methanol Synthesis Model Nanocatalysts
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Surface science investigations of model catalysts have contributed significantly to heterogeneous catalysis over the past several decades. The unique properties of nanomaterials are being exploited in catalysis for the ... -
Surface Modifying Amphiphilic Additives for the Improvement of Fouling-Release Properties of Siloxane-Polyurethane Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Since mankind has navigated the world’s oceans, marine biofouling has been a persistent problem with several negative economic and environmental consequences. In modern times, the buildup of biofouling causes a significant ... -
Surface Optimization of Siloxane-Polyurethane Marine Coatings for Improved Fouling-Release Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Biofouling has been an economically and environmentally costly problem to mankind ever since they set sail. Biofouling causes frictional drag leading to slow vessel speeds, and increased fuel costs. Antifouling (AF) coatings ... -
Surface Property Modification of Coatings via Self-Stratification
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Biological fouling occurs everywhere in the marine environment and is a significant problem for marine vessels. Anti-fouling coatings have been used effectively to prevent fouling; however, these coatings harm non-targeted ... -
Surfing the Semester: A Study of the Flow of Active Learning Implementation
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Instructional reforms have been called for on a national level. Little data exists as to how changes take place. This study explored the implementation of active learning practices by non-tenure and tenure track faculty ... -
A Survey for Industrial Uses of Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The increase in demand for corn ethanol has caused an increase in distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), which is a byproduct of ethanol production. DDGS is a cheap byproduct and is primarily used for livestock ... -
A Survey of Certified Athletic Trainers: The Report of Skin Infections Incidence
(North Dakota State University, 2009)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the common types of skin infections occurring in United States athletes within the past year and the types of athletes that are most likely to contract them. Surveys were constructed ... -
