Soybean Quality and Market Factor Influence on North Dakota Origin Basis Values
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In North Dakota, origin soybean basis values place risk on market participants involved with trading the commodity. Researchers study market factors that influence origin basis values in order to better understand basis ...
Soybean Leaf Chlorophyll Estimation and Iron Deficiency Field Rating Determination at Plot and Field Scales Through Image Processing and Machine Learning
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is the most common reason for chlorosis in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) and causes an average yield loss of 120 million dollars per year across 1.8 million ha in the North Central US ...
Manufacturing Low-Density Particleboards from Wheat Straw and Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Agricultural byproducts like wheat straw and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) have not found a good market in the wood composite industry. Utilizing DDGS for particleboard in addition to using it as feed will ...
Increased Oil Recovery from Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles and Whole Stillage
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Finding a viable method to recover oil from the corn ethanol industry's co-products has considerable economic prospects for ethanol bio-refineries. This study examined the effects of enzymes and ethanol on oil recovery ...
Optimization of Methane Yield in Solid-State Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Dairy Manure and Corn Stover
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Sole dependence on fossil fuel and the concomitant environmental concerns could be minimized through the optimization of green energy generation from the growing volume of onfarm organic wastes. In this mesophilic study, ...
Characterization of Biochar from Different Feedstocks under Low and High Temperature and Their Effects on Greenhouse Gas Emission and Ammonia Volatilazation from Soil Incubation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Biochar is a potential soil amendment that likely to reduce GHG emissions from land application to soil, but their properties depend on biomass types and pyrolysis temperature. In this study, biochars were produced from ...
Process Development for Effective, Recoverable and Reusable Magnetic Nanobiocatalysts for Biomass Hydrolysis
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Recovery and reuse of enzymes can reduce the high enzyme costs that are challenging for cellulosic biorefineries. Attaching enzymes to magnetic nanoparticles to make magnetic nanobiocatalysts (MNBCs) can facilitate enzyme ...
The Effect of Property Tax Relief on K-12 Education Expenditures in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
North Dakota implemented two pieces of legislation in 2009 and 2013 to reduce property tax burdens. These policies encouraged local school districts to lower their property-tax mill rates and provided intergovernmental ...
Global Impact of the U.S.-China Trade War in Agricultural Sector
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
This thesis examined the impact of the U.S-China trade war on the global, U.S, and China’s agricultural exports while considering the competing suppliers’ effect using a highly disaggregated HS 6-digit trade flow data in ...
Income and Price Effect on Bilateral Trade and Consumption Through Expenditure Channel: A Case of Chickpea
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Income and price affect chickpea trade expenditure and consumption expenditure share respectively. An empirical model was estimated to examine the trade effect through the expenditure channel using Almost Ideal Demand ...
