Photodegradation of (E)- and (Z)-Endoxifen: Kinetics, By-Products Identification and Toxicity Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Endoxifen is an effective metabolite of tamoxifen, a commonly used chemotherapy drug, and has been detected at the final effluent of a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Its presence in the environment could bring ...
Analysis of Current Conditions and Future Needs of the Public Water Supply System in Dili, East Timor
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This research focuses on the public water supply system in East Timor’s capital, Dili. Through this research the performance of the current public water supply system is evaluated, shortages in system capacity and operation ...
Grassland Birds Community Dynamics, Resource Selection, and Nest Survival on Mixed-Grass Prairie Grazed by Native Colonial and Domestic Herbivores
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Investigators surveyed avian and vegetation composition on- and off- black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus; hereafter prairie dog) colonies to gain greater insight into community dynamics of grassland passerines. ...
Mechanical Properties of Multilayers of Carbon Nanotube Polystyrene Nanocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
We have studied the mechanical behavior of multi-layered composite films comprised of single-wall carbon nanotubes and polystyrene polymer, where we focused on three targeted layer thicknesses; 10 nm, 20 nm, and 40 nm. The ...
Foreign Material Identification and Removal in the Food Safety Industry
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Changes in the food industry including the mass production in response to the globalization of the food chain have led to additional food safety and quality challenges for the food industry. One aspect of these challenges ...
The Impact of Bacterial Spoilage and Foodborne Pathogens on Beef Industry and Application of Antimicrobial Interventions
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The beef industry continues to face concerns regarding the hygiene and the safety of its products. A wide range of microorganisms from various sources can grow on meat surfaces that are rich in fluid and nutrients. This ...
Groundwater Quality Vulnerability Assessment in North Dakota

Multi-Scale Assessment of Factors Affecting Marshbird Density in the Northern Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Over the last two centuries >50% of North American wetlands have been drained for agricultural production. Consequently, wildlife that depend on wetlands are declining and are of high conservation concern. The Prairie ...
Effectiveness and Simulated Impacts of Produced Water as a Dust Abatement in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A road dust abatement alternative that has been considered in the Bakken and Three Forks formations is oil-well produced waters. Three previously untreated gravel roads were selected and passive dust collectors were utilized. ...
Comparative Analysis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Induced Transcriptomic Responses in Arabidopsis
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The impact that zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) have on plant physiological responses was evaluated by comparing gene expression changes after Arabidopsis thaliana plants were exposed to ZnONP, in comparison with ionic ...
