Examination of the Relationship Between Student Academic Outcomes and Usage of the Campus Recreational Facility
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between student academic outcomes, such as grade point average (GPA) and retention, and usage of the campus recreational facility. The population of interest was ...
D-optimal Design for the 5PL-1P Model in Chemical Toxicity Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The five-parameter logistic minus one-parameter model is a hybrid between the five-parameter model and the four-parameter model used for the relationship between concentration and response. The four-parameter model includes ...
Robust c-Optimal Design for Estimating the Edp
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Optimal design provides the most efficient design to study dose-response functions. It is often observed to adopt the four-parameter logistic model to describe the dose-response relationships in many dose finding trials. ...
Entropy as a Criterion for Variable Reduction in Cluster Data
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Entropy is a measure of the randomness of a system state. This quantity gives us a measure of uncertainty that is associated with each particular observation belonging to a specific cluster. We examine this property and ...
Developing Input to “Best-Value” Vehicle Procurement Practice: An Analysis of Supplier Evaluation and Selection in the U.S. Public Transportation Industry
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Collectively, US public transportation systems operated 137,047 vehicles per peak
period in 2008 (American Public Transportation Association 2010). Buses accounted for
the largest segment among these vehicles, and the ...
Improving the Methodology to Estimate Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore Operational Throughput and Duration
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) is the method the United States (US) Army and Navy use to discharge cargo from large seafaring vessels onto a bare beach when an enemy force has denied access to a deep-water port or ...
Towards the Development of a Gene-Based Eco-Physiology Model for Common Bean: Genotype by Environment Interactions
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Genotype by environment interactions (GxE) complicate selection in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Crop models can play a valuable role by helping plant breeding programs to better understand GxE. The objectives of ...
Predicting and Enhancing Spring Wheat Grain Protein Content through Sensing and In-Season Nitrogen Fertilization
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Grain protein content is an essential component to producing a profitable Hard Red Spring Wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) crop in the northern Great Plains. Growers can increase grain protein content through in-season ...
Ascochyta Rabiei in North Dakota: Characterization of the Secreted Proteome and Population Genetics
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Chickpea is one of the most important leguminous crops grown in regions of southern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States. Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei, is the most important foliar disease ...
Symmetric Protoplast Fusion in Interserial Syringa (Oleaceae) Hybridization
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Few other woody plants embody the preeminence of temperate woody plants in garden cultivation like the lilacs. In spite of their relationship, the trees lack the diversity of cultivated floral forms observed within the ...
