Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Miocene-Age Glacial Deposits, Friis Hills, Antarctica
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The Friis Hills is an isolated plateau standing as much as 600 m above surrounding topography in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region or Antarctica.Preserved on the plateau surface is a sequence of early to middle Miocene-aged ...
Compensation for the Effectiveness of Risk Mitigation Strategies for Fusarium Head Blight(FHB) and Deoxynivalenol(DON)
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Food safety related problems are one of the biggest challenges worldwide. DON is produced by Fusarium species which causes the well-known Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat and barley. FHB outbreaks have led to variability ...
Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Films Dip-Coating by Colloidal Nanocrystals Bilayer Films
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
A wrinkling approach was used to study the mechanics of hybrid nanotube/nanocrystal coatings adhering to soft polymer (PDMS) substrates. We focused on three thicknesses: 10 nm, 30 nm, and 40 nm. The approach we used is the ...
Effects of Phylogenetic Tree Style on Student Comprehension
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Phylogenetic trees are powerful tools of evolutionary biology that have become prominent across the life sciences. Consequently, learning to interpret and reason from phylogenetic trees is now an essential component of ...
Development of Bio-based Wood Adhesive by Using Cellulose Nanofiber Reinforcement and Crosslinking Agent for Improved Bonding Strength
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Engineered woods, plywood, particle board, and oriented strand board, are widely used as a low-cost wood replacement in many applications. Many of the currently used wood adhesives contain chemicals that are harmful to ...
Bat Population Monitoring in National Parks of The Great Lakes Region and Evaluation of Bat Acoustic Analysis Software
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
North American bats face multiple threats, prompting an increase in bat research and conservation efforts in recent decades. Researchers often use acoustic monitoring, which entails recording bats’ echolocation calls and ...
Migratory Ecology and Wing Morphology of North Dakota Bats
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Understanding links between a species’ migratory behavior, wing morphology, and foraging strategy can provide insight into factors driving the evolution of behavioral and ecological responses. The first chapter of this ...
Transmission and Pathogenesis of Swine Torque-Teno Virus 1 (TTSuV1)
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Torque-teno viruses (TTVs) are small ubiquitous non-enveloped single-stranded circular DNA viruses. Since their discovery in a post-transfusion hepatitis patient, they have been isolated in several vertebrate hosts with ...
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 ...
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 ...
