The Square of Adjacency Matrices
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
It can be shown that any symmetric (0, 1)-matrix A with tr A = 0 can be interpreted as the adjacency matrix of a simple, finite graph. The square of an adjacency matrix A2 = (si1) has the property that Sij represents the ...
Positioning of Relay Stations in Wireless Sensor Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
A sensor is a device which can detect or measure a physical property and which records, indicates, or otherwise responds to the signal received. A wireless sensor in a network can communicate with the sensors located within ...
Assessment of Blackbird Damage to Sunflower and Corn Fields in the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
North Dakota is the top sunflower producing state in the United States, annually harvesting about 405,000 ha (1 million acres). Up to 63% of this crop is grown in central North Dakota in an area known as the Prairie Pothole ...
Implementation of Bus-Based and NoC-Based MP3 Decoders on FPGA
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The trend of modern System-on-Chip (SoC) design is increasing in size and number of Processing Elements (PE) for various and general purpose tasks. Emergence of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) into the world of ...
Numerical Methods for Fractional Optimal Control and Parametric Problems
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Fractional derivatives (FDs) or derivatives of arbitrary order have attracted considerable interest in the past few decades, and almost every field of science and engineering has applications of fractional derivatives. ...
Evaluation of Habitat Selection by Nesting Sharp-Tailed Grouse and Survivorship of Hens, Males, and Nests on the Grand River National Grasslands in Northwest South Dakota, USA
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Plains sharp-tailed grouse nesting habitat was evaluated on the Grand River National Grasslands (GRNG) in northwest South Dakota, in the spring and summer of 2009 and 2010. Experiment #1 was conducted across the GRNG with ...
Environmental and Conservation Sciences Program, College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This study offers an insight on pertinent parameters that may be considered to address potential emerald ash borer {EAB), Agrilus p/anipennis, infestation. The study utilizes a geospatial model, calibrated using empirical ...
Modeling of Dynamic Pricing of Energy for a Smart Grid Using a Multi-agent Framework
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The use of smart grids is being promoted to address issues such as energy independence, global warming and emergency resilience. A smart grid is a digitized form of the power grid and is comprised of an intelligent monitoring ...
Gender Influences on Perceptions of Marital Reconciliation

This study examines the process of marital reconciliation. More specifically, it
addresses gender influences regarding perceptions of the marital reconciliation process.
Also, this study identifies how turning points in ...
Evaluation of 1:5 Soil to Water Extract Electrical Conductivity Methods and Comparison to Electrical Conductivity of Saturated Paste Extract
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Conducting a 1 :5 soil:water extract to measure electrical conductivity (EC) is an approach
to assess salinity and is the preferred method used in Australia. However, the influence of
salinity on plant growth is predominantly ...
