Identifying Barriers to Preventive/Primary Care Utilization of Men in a Rural Setting
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The purpose of the project was to identify barriers preventing men living in a rural setting, ages 19-60 from participating in routine preventative/primary care. Nationally and globally, men experience greater rates of ...
Studying Window Energy Performance Using Thermal Camera
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Windows, which are responsible for 45% of overall heat loss, play a major role in a building’s energy performance. Therefore, it is critical to measure window energy performance for existing buildings. This study aimed to ...
Further Characterization of Pathogen Virulence and Genetic Mapping of New Virulence Genes in Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, the Causal Agent of Tan Spot of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot of wheat, a devastating foliar disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum L., 2n=4x=28, AABB). ...
Proposed Nonparametric Tests for the Umbrella Alternative in a Mixed Design
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Several nonparametric tests are proposed for a mixed design consisting of a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and a completely randomized design (CRD) under the umbrella hypothesis with a known and an unknown peak. ...
Black Bean Milling and Flour Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Dry bean utilization by the food industry can be increased by developing value-added processing applications. The goals of this research were to evaluate (1) the effect of milling method on the physical, chemical and ...
Comparative Study on Hulled Wheats Kernel, Flour, Dough Quality and Dietary Fiber Variation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This study was conducted to evaluate the kernel, flour and dough qualities and dietary fiber content of hulled wheats. Experimental design was separate randomized complete block designs for hulled wheat species with four ...
Multi-Parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross Population for Improvement of Genetic Resistance of Dry Bean to White Mold
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
White mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Lib. de Bary) is one of the most important diseases of common bean in the U.S. with seed yield losses up to 100%. White mold resistance is hard to incorporate into breeding materials ...
Limiting Financial Risk from Catastrophic Events in Project Management
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This dissertation develops a mixed integer linear program to establish the upper and lower bounds of the Alphorn of Uncertainty. For a project manager, planning for uncertainty is a staple of their jobs and education. ...
Nonparametric Tests for the Umbrella Alternative in a Mixed Design for a Known Peak
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
When an assumption from a parametric test cannot be verified, a nonparametric test provides a simple way of conducting a test on populations. The motivation behind conducting a test of the hypothesis is to examine the ...
Managing Soybean Cyst Nematode by Utilizing Cover Crops and Resistant Sources from Early Maturing Soybean Accessions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Greenhouse and microplot studies were conducted for understanding the effects of cover crop species/cultivars for hosts and population reduction of soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) from the fields of North ...
