Experimental Investigation of Shear Thickening Fluid Impregnated Flax Fabric and Flax/Kevlar Hybrid Fabrics
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Shear thickening fluids have the potential to improve the effectiveness of fabric materials in body armor applications as they have shown to increase the puncture and ballistic resistance of Kevlar fabrics. However, the ...
Insulation in Windows Using Resin & Aerogel Mixture
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Insulation materials are essential in building construction; this study proposed to use one such material called silica aerogel, which is known for its excellent thermal properties, and a UV acrylate resin that has been ...
Improved Hydrologic Modeling for Characterizing Variable Contributing Areas and Threshold-Controlled Overland Flow in Depression-Dominated Areas
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Surface depressions are important topographic features, which affect overland flow, infiltration, and other hydrologic processes. Specifically, depressions undergo filling-spilling-merging-splitting processes under natural ...
The Tingidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Southern Central America (with an Emphasis on Costa Rica)
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The genera of Tingidae of the neotropics are herein diagnosed and a key for their identification is also provided. Five new genera are described from Central America, two from Panama, two from Costa Rica, and one new genus ...
Impact of Wildfire and Targeted Grazing Effects on Northern Great Plains Range and Pasture Lands
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The Grand River District in South Dakota has a high proportion of underutilized crested
wheatgrass within native rangelands. Prescribed fire is rarely used for management; although, there is a
strong evolutionary relationship ...
A Faunal Survey of Coleoptera, Hemiptera (Heteroptera), and Lepidoptera Associated with Fraxinus Pennsylvanica Marshall (Oleaceae) in the Red River Valley of Eastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis; EAB) is an invasive wood-boring beetle causing mortality of ash trees in North America. This project was initiated because of the threat of EAB moving into North Dakota. The main ...
Collection and Analysis of Volatiles of Various Cultivated Sunflower, Helianthus Annuus, (Asteraceae) Germplasm and Investigation of Some Aspects of Host Selection in Adult Red Sunflower Seed Weevil, Smicronyx Fulvus L., (Coleoptera Curculionidae)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Plants of sunflower germplasm putatively resistant or susceptible to the red sunflower seed weevil, Smicronyx fulvus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were used to test the hypothesis that the volatile composition of these two ...
Utilizing Annual Forages in a Single and Dual Crop System for Late-Season Grazing in Southcentral North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Utilizing annual forages to extend the grazing season can improve late-season forage production and quality, cow performance, and soil health; while providing a cost-effective alternative to drylot feeding. A four-year ...
Biological Capability of Selected Ecological Sites in the Western Dakotas
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Sharp-tailed grouse habitat on the Dakota Prairie Grasslands are assessed by habitat structure with the use of the Robel pole to measure visual obstruction readings (VOR). The purpose of this study was to determine 1) if ...
A Chronosequence of Scale-Dependent Vegetation and Soil Properties on a Surface Coal Mine over 40 Years of Reclamation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Surface coal mining has taken place in North Dakota for many decades. Upon the mining process, the mined lands need to be reclaimed to a better state than pre-mining. The reclamation process is a timely and costly procedure. ...
