Investigating the Influences of Ingredients, W/C Ratio and Dispersion Methods for CNT Modified Smart Concrete
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have excellent electromechanical properties and can be added into cement using appropriate dispersive means to produce CNT-modified cement-based smart materials (CNTCS). This study investigates how ...
Surface Modifying Amphiphilic Additives for the Improvement of Fouling-Release Properties of Siloxane-Polyurethane Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Since mankind has navigated the world’s oceans, marine biofouling has been a persistent problem with several negative economic and environmental consequences. In modern times, the buildup of biofouling causes a significant ...
The Effects of Greater Dietary Protein Spread and Quality on Muscle Health in Healthy Adults
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Skeletal muscle is critically important, but is often overlooked, not getting the respect or attention the tissue demands. Muscle is responsible for locomotion and physical performance, uses large amount of energy preventing ...
Systematic Intervention Component Analysis: Dose-Response for Therapeutic Ultrasound
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Therapeutic ultrasound has been well documented in the literature to affect human tissue. The four main parameters practitioners are able to influence are frequency, duty cycle, intensity, and treatment time. Alteration ...
Tracking Body Dissatisfaction and Body Ideals of Ethnically Diverse College Women
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Globally, women are exposed to society-created, unachievable body ideals, which change over time and are subject to influence by other, typically Western, societies. Socializing agents such as family members, peers, and ...
Intra- and Inter-Specific Variation in Plant Responses to Climate Change
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Plants are sensitive to changing climates and are vulnerable to environmental conditions. In many regions, climate change is shifting temperatures and precipitation patterns, both of which affect various traits in living ...
Sexual Dimorphisms in the Adipose Biology of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Deficient Mice
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Both VIP and PACAP deficient mice display impaired fat storage, but only the molecular adipose characteristics of PACAP KO mice are known. While mice deficient in these peptides are lean, supplementation could promote ...
Advanced Numerical Modeling in Manufacturing Processes
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
In manufacturing applications, a large number of data can be collected by experimental studies and/or sensors. This collected data is vital to improving process efficiency, scheduling maintenance activities, and predicting ...
A Zoomable Assessment: Navigating the Ecologies of Writing Program Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
This dissertation project explores the potential for using an inferential statistics test (t-tests) within an existing writing program assessment design. The purpose of using inferential statistics is to provide several ...
Structural, Rheological and Biological Functionality of Fiber-Rich Fractions From Beans
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
egumes have been reported as a good source of dietary fiber. This research aimed to understand how soluble dietary fiber (SDF) can be extracted from dry beans to enhance human health. Raw bean samples were ground with a ...
