Genetic Dissection of Tan Spot Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Tan spot, caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a major foliar disease in wheat. QTL mapping and meta-QTL analysis are effective methods to understand genetic basis of tan spot ...
Empirical Comparison of Statistical Tests of Dense Subgraph in Network Data
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Network analysis is useful in modeling the structures of different phenomena. A fundamental question in the analysis of network data is whether a network contains community structure. One type of community structure of ...
Linear Modeling of Election Results for U.S. House of Representatives Candidates and State Executive Offices for Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Better understanding the relationship between the results for the U.S. House of Representatives and for state executive offices could potentially be useful in predicting outcomes if a significant relationship is present ...
A Comparison of Filtering and Normalization Methods in the Statistical Analysis of Gene Expression Experiments
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Both microarray and RNA-seq technologies are powerful tools which are commonly used in differential expression (DE) analysis. Gene expression levels are compared across treatment groups to determine which genes are ...
The Determinants of Aeronautical Charges of U.S.Airports: A Spatial Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Using U.S. airport data from 2009 through 2016, this thesis examines the determinants of aeronautical charges of large and medium hub airports and accounts for the spatial dependence of neighboring airports in a spatial ...
A Comparison of Two Scaling Techniques to Reduce Uncertainty in Predictive Models
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This research examines the use of two scaling techniques to accurately transfer information from small-scale data to large-scale predictions in a handful of nonlinear functions. The two techniques are (1) using random draws ...
High tunnels extend the growing season in warm season crops tomato, cucumber and bell pepper
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
High tunnels are used to modify the crop environment by trapping solar energy, providing protection from unfavorable weather events, and extending the growing season in temperate regions. This project assessed yield and ...
Debranning Affects Durum Wheat Milling Properties and Semolina Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Wheat can undergo debranning before milling. Debranning involves the removal of the outer bran layer from wheat kernels by friction and abrasion forces. This research was conducted to determine the effect of durum cultivar ...
Seeding Date and Genotype Maturity Interactions on Grain Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor –(L.) Moench] Performance In North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] varieties fail to reach maturity in North Dakota’s short and cool growing season. The study objective was to evaluate seeding date and white grain sorghum genotypes. A randomized ...
Comparison of Two Single Curtain and Two Double Curtain Trellis Systems with Marquette and Petite Pearl Wine Grapes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
A field study was conducted to evaluate the influence of a trellis system, Genova double curtain (GDC), Scott Henry (SH), mid-wire that was vertical shoot positioned (VSP), and high wire cordon (HW), on fruit ripening and ...
