Investigation of Novel Approaches for Improved Amphiphilic Fouling-Release Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Marine biofouling has troubled mankind, both environmentally and economically, since they set sail, resulting in many undesired consequences such as increased drag, reduced maneuverability, increased fuel consumption and ...
Nitrogen Mineralization Dynamics of Post Harvest Crop Residue in No-Till Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In North Dakota, adoption of conservation tillage practices has resulted in an accumulation of crop residue remaining on the soil surface. North Dakota producers receive a nitrogen credit for long-term no-till but due to ...
Resilient Monitoring and Robust Control towards Blackout Prevention in Modern Power Grids
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This dissertation embodies a comprehensive approach towards resilient monitoring of frid events using Structure Preserving Energy Functions (SPEFs) and introduces a novel control architecture in Multi Terminal Direct Current ...
Mitigating Nonlinear Effect and Preserving Privacy for Memristor Based On-Chip Neural Network
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Memristors offer advantages as a hardware solution for neuromorphic computing, however, their non-ideal property makes the weight update difficult and reduces the accuracy of a neural network. Also, a large amount of ...
Advancing Plant Protein-Based Proteoposite Films Targeted for Food Packaging Applications. A Combined Computational and Experimental Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Demand for polymeric, plastic materials continues to grow each year. However, the limited supply of fossil-fuels and negative environmental impact caused by petrochemical products have led to an increased demand for bio-based ...
Corrosion Investigation of Structural Transition Joints Through Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy and the Characterization of High-Temperature Coatings at Different Temperatures
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Scanning electrochemical microscopy is a method that incorporates an ultramicroelectrode capable of facilitating electrochemical reactions paired with an XYZ positioning system capable of micron-level movements. This study ...
Validation of Image Based Thermal Sensing Technology for Glyphosate Resistant Weed Identification
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
From 2019 to 2020, greenhouse and field research was conducted at North Dakota State University to investigate the canopy temperature response of waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis), kochia (Kochia scoparia), common ragweed ...
Changing the Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Paradigm: Developing Clostridium novyi as an Intravenously Injectable Solid-State Tumor Therapeutic
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The development of a drug able to distinguish between tumor and host cells has been long sought, but the solid tumor microenvironment (TME) confounds many current therapeutics. Solid tumors present several challenges for ...
The Molecular Basis of Demethylation Inhibitor Fungicide Resistance in Cercospora beticola and the Role of Seed Inoculum in Cercospora Leaf Spot Disease of Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is the most destructive foliar disease of sugar beet worldwide. CLS is caused by the filamentous fungus Cercospora beticola. Disease management currently relies upon timely application of fungicides, ...
Sensitivity of Alternaria Species to Ten Single-Site Mode of Action Fungicides
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Early blight caused by Alternaria solani and brown spot caused by the small-spored Alternaria spp., Alternaria alternata, Alternaria arborescens, and Alternaria tenuissima are observed annually in midwestern potato production ...
