The Yellowstone River Waterfowl Hunting Closure in Eastern Montana: Evaluation of Private Landowner Attitudes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Wildlife managers now hypothesize the limiting factor regarding waterfowl hunting opportunity and goose harvest in the lower Yellowstone River Valley is hunter access rather than waterfowl abundance. This study used a ... -
Yield and Quality Prediction Using Satellite Passive Imagery and Ground-Based Active Optical Sensors in Sugar Beet, Spring Wheat, Corn, and Sunflower
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Remote sensing is one possible approach for improving crop nitrogen use efficiency to save fertilizer costs, reduce environmental pollution, and improve crop yield and quality. Feasibility and potential of using remote ... -
Yield Comparison of Transplanted Tomato and Pepper Plants Grown in Different Sized Cell Packs
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Field experiments were conducted at Fargo, North Dakota, in 2006 and repeated at Fargo, Oakes, North Dakota, and Absaraka, North Dakota, in 2007 to compare time to harvest and yields from tomatoes (Lycopersicon escu/entum ... -
Yield Efficiency Using a Stochastic Frontier Approach for Corn, Soybeans, and Hard Red Spring Wheat in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Agriculture is a keystone for the North Dakota economy. The research focused on three selected crops’ yield: corn, soybeans and HRS wheat. The research provides a direct and indirect cumulative elasticity measure for North ... -
Yield-Limiting Factors in North Dakota Soybean Fields
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Average soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] yields in North Dakota remain below north central USA averages, and crop yield potentials. The effect of planting date (PD), cultivar relative maturity (RM), and seeding rate (SR), ... -
“You Are an Experience!”: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Characters in Children's Animated Series
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Western society has slowly evolved to accept the identities of LGBTQ+ people. With strides forward in laws and public opinion, queer people are overall more accepted now than they have been in previous decades. However, ... -

Zero-Trust Architecture and Its Cost-Effectiveness on Network Security
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a ‘Never Trust, Always Verify’ concept to improve cybersecurity by eliminating trust and validating network requests continuously. ZTA replaces Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and provides ... -
Zeroth Order Resonator (ZOR) Based RFID Antenna Design
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Meander-line and multi-layer antennas have been used extensively to design compact UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) tags; however the overall size reduction of meander-line antennas is limited by the amount of ... -
Zone Based Hybrid Approach for Clustering and Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2018)A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a collection of spatially distributed autonomous sensor nodes that can be used to monitor, among other things, environmental conditions. WSN nodes are constrained by their limited energy ... -
A Zoomable Assessment: Navigating the Ecologies of Writing Program Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2022)This dissertation project explores the potential for using an inferential statistics test (t-tests) within an existing writing program assessment design. The purpose of using inferential statistics is to provide several ... -
ß-phenylethylamine: A Novel Chemo-Attractant Agent
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Bacterial metabolism and physiology are finely tuned mechanisms that maintain homeostasis for the bacterium and allow for responses to environmental signals. Responses could include anything from regulation of cell division ... -
