The Structure of Goals: Using Cybernetic Theory to Understand Behavior and Functioning
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
While self-determination researchers emphasize the importance of pursuing internally motivated goals for self-regulation, cybernetic theorists instead highlight the structural features of goal systems and the manner in ...
Ghostly Narratives : A Case Study on the Experiences and Roles of Biafran Women during the Nigeria-Biafra War
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Since the end of the Nigcria-Biafra war in 1970, political and social theorists, journalists, and scholars have discussed the significance of the war and the major players. Yet one perspective is often omitted, and that ...
Hawk and Dove Stress Response Profiles in Humans
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
A recent evolutionary theory hypothesizes that there are two primary biobehavioral profiles of stress responding. Labeled "hawk" and "dove," each is characterized by divergent patterns of autonomic nervous system and ...
Comparison of Proposed K Sample Tests with Dietz's Test For Nondecreasing Ordered Alternatives for Bivariate Exponential Data
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Comparison of powers is essential to determine the best test that can be used for data under certain specific conditions. Likewise, several nonparametric methods have been developed for testing the ordered alternatives. ...
Economic Analysis of Packaging Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Packaging has a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain, where improvement can be achieved through the development and selection of an appropriate packaging system. One way to explore ...
Multiresponse Optimization Methodology Considering Related Quality Characteristics
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Engineering problems often involve many conflicting quality characteristics that must be optimized simultaneously. Engineers are required to select suitable design parameter values which provide better trade-off among all ...
CFD Heat Transfer Simulation of the Human Upper Respiratory Tract for Oronasal Breathing Condition
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
In this thesis. a three dimensional heat transfer model of heated airflow through the upper human respiratory tract consisting of nasal, oral, trachea, and the first two generations of bronchi is developed using computational ...
Prairie Restoration outcomes in the Northern Tallgrass and Mixed Grass Prairie Eco-Region
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Prairie restorations have been implemented using a variety of seeding methods and techniques. The outcomes of these prairie restorations have not been surveyed on United States Fish and Wildlife Service lands in eastern ...
Rematerializing the Contact Zone : Discovery and Exploration in the First Year Writing Classroom
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This study investigates Mary Louise Pratt's "contact zone" theory and argues that the contact zone has undergone a dematerializing process from a place with clear geographical and material connections to an imagined ...
Analysis of Security Vulnerabilities in Web Applications using Threat Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Software security issues have been a major concern to the cyberspace community; therefore, a great deal of research on security testing has been performed, and various security testing techniques have been developed. A ...
