Technology Past and Present: An Exploration In Agricultural Archaeology
(North Dakota State University, 2010)This book examines the history of technology specific to the area of agriculture. Technology exists as a product of culture, and can therefore be studied through the field of anthropology, even more specifically archaeology. ... -
Teens: Let's Give Them Some Space
(North Dakota State University, 2020)At a time when we can find numerous divisions between ourselves and the next person, there is one thing that every adult has in common: we were once a teenager. Like any experience, being a teenager comes with moments ... -
Telomere Correlations during Early Life in a Long Lived Seabird
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Telomere dynamics in blood cells have been linked to aging in a variety of organisms. However, whether blood telomeres correlated with telomeres in other parts of the body is not well known, especially during early life ... -
Telomere Length and Senescence in a Long-lived Fish (Ictiobus cyprinellus)
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The pattern of shorter telomere lengths in older individuals has been observed across many vertebrates, but has not been well-documented in bony fishes. Bony fish (i.e., Class Osteichthyes) represent the most speciose and ... -
Temperament Evaluation in Beef Cattle: Understanding Evaluator Bias Within Subjective Measurements of Docility Score, Temperament Score, and Qualitative Behavior Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2016)An experiment was conducted to quantify evaluator bias and determine the impacts bias may have on genetic evaluations. Three subjective evaluation methods were recorded (n = 806) at weaning, including docility score (DS; ... -
Temperature Dependent Optical Properties of Silicon Quantum Dot/Polymer Nanocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The photoluminescent properties of silicon quantum dots embedded in a stabilizing polymer matrix are relevant to a number of potential applications of these unique nanomaterials such as drug delivery, temperature sensing, ... -
Temporary Landscapes: Physically Distanced, Socially Together
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Temporary landscapes are where things happen, the bread and butter of urban life. Social, political, and economic battles have been waged in the open spaces of our cities. This is where change starts and grows. Even now, ... -
Tenderness and Juiciness of Beef Steaks from Varying Hot Carcass Weights
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The objective of this study was to determine how hot carcass weights affect temperature decline and pH decline of beef carcasses, as well as, tenderness, juiciness and color of beef steaks. Carcasses were selected based ... -
A Test of an Interactive Model of Binge Eating in Men
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Past research has shown that a combination of high perfectionism, high body dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem is predictive of binge eating in college women (Bardone-Cone et al., 2006). The aim of the present study was ... -
Test of Time
(North Dakota State University, 2011)This thesis is a study of how the use of recycled materials can express the passage of time within a society or culture. The building typology for the execution of this idea is a historical museum. The Theoretical ... -
Testing Parallelism for the Four-Parameter Logistic Model with D-Optimal Design
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In order to determine the potency of the test preparation relative to the standard preparation, it is often important to test parallelism between a pair of dose-response curves of reference standard and test sample. Optimal ... -
Testosterone (T) and Triiodothyronine (T3) in Franklin’s Gull (Leucophaeus Pipixcan) Eggs
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Maternally-derived hormones are known to influence the growth and development of offspring. The differential deposition of these maternally-derived hormones into egg yolk is one way by which females can alter and impact ... -
Text Mail - On Demand Email to SMS Service
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Short Messaging Service (SMS)-based mobile information services have become increasingly common around the world, especially among users with low-end mobile devices. This paper presents the design and implementation of ... -
Theater of Community: Enabling a Vibrant and Interconnected Community through Careful Preservation of an Architectural Monument
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In his book The Creative City, urbanist Charles Landry speaks at length about hard and soft infrastructure in cities. Hard infrastructure referring to the built environment and the functions that support it and soft ... -
Theater of Life: Participatory Design as a Feature for Intentional Adaptation to a Diverse Set of Lifestyles
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The purpose of this thesis is to propose an integrated model for intentional living and participatory design. Theater of Life seeks to expand the potential of housing in a dense urban environment with blank canvas units ... -
Theatric depth : the theatre and the public
(North Dakota State University, 2014)My Thesis explores the way architecture can evoke a more meaningful relationship to the public realm. The project will attempt to reawaken a “space of participation” by challenging the changing understudy of public and ... -
Theodore Hamm's Rebrew
(North Dakota State University, 2018)A brewery that produced beer for roughly 130 years employing thousands of workers from the area has been sitting vacant for 17 years slowing crumbling from lack of upkeep. With the constant threat of being razed and losing ... -
Theoretical and Computational Studies of the Mechanical Strength and Fracture Toughness of Adhesively Bonded Joints and Polymer Nanoclay Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Increasing use of adhesively bonded joints (ABJs) and polymer nanoclay composites (PNCs) in modern vehicles and other industrial sectors has deeply shaped the design and manufacturing of advanced materials and structures ... -
