Lithium Ionic Conductivity and Stability Of Cubic Li7La3Zr2O12 Solid Electrolyte A First-Principles Study
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Garnet structured cubic LLZO crystal (Li56La24Zr16O96) is one of the most promising solid electrolytes for next-generation solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to ...
Distributed Inference for Degenerate U-Statistics with Application to One and Two Sample Test
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In many hypothesis testing problems such as one-sample and two-sample test problems, the test statistics are degenerate U-statistics. One of the challenges in practice is the computation of U-statistics for a large sample ...
Proposed Nonparametric Tests for the Simple Tree Alternative for Location and Scale Testing
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Location-scale problems arise in many cases, such as, bioinformatics, climate dynamics, finance and medicine (Marozzi, 2013). This research focuses on developing tests to determine whether one or more treatment effects ...
Structure Modification to Enhance Pulse Protein Functions and Flavor Profile Opportunities in Saccharide Mediated Glycation via Maillard-Driven Chemistry
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Owing to the combined characteristics of low allergens and lipids, as well as high versatility and abundance, eco-friendly pulse-based protein has served as a critical contender to supplement animal protein. The inferior ...
Optimization of Regional Empty Container Supply Chains to Support Future Investment Decisions for Developing Inland Container Terminals
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Containerized grain shipping has been increasingly used as a shipment option by U.S. exporters. Continued evolution and investment decisions in optimizing multimodal operations is a key in continued growth for the container ...
Characteristics of Child Pornographers Under Federal Supervision in the State of North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Currently, it is estimated that there are over 45 million child pornographic images and videos on the internet. The purpose of the current study is to record the characteristics of those convicted of accessing, distributing, ...
Intelligent Energy-Efficient Storage System for Big-Data Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is a critical component in mobile video processing systems. Because of the large video data size, the memory is frequently accessed, which dominates the power consumption and limits battery ...
Improving the Diagnosis and Management of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in a Rural Healthcare Setting
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a condition characterized by brief spinning episodes that occur with a rapid change in head position. Although considered benign, BPPV can have many personal, social, health, ...
Development of Performance Optimized Rotation Tolerant Viola-Jones Based Blackbird Detection, a Throughput Optimized Asynchronous Mac Implementation, and Automated Wheat Lodging Estimation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The research described in this doctoral dissertation focuses on three main topics:1) performance optimization of the Viola-Jones Algorithm (VJA) for red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) detection, 2) further increasing ...
Development of Improved Methods for Watershed-Scale Topographic Analysis and Hydrologic Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Surface depressions are one of the significant topographic characteristics in depression-dominated areas and can retain runoff and break the hydrologic continuity in watersheds. In traditional semi-distributed models, the ...
