(North Dakota State University, 2013)
This thesis looks at common factors that have the largest impact on winning games in the NHL. Data was collected from regular season games for all teams in the NHL over seven seasons. Logistic and least squares regressions ...
Comparing Dunnett's Test with the False Discovery Rate Method: A Simulation Study
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Recently, the idea of multiple comparisons has been criticized because of its lack of power in datasets with a large number of treatments. Many family-wise error corrections are far too restrictive when large quantities ...
Context Processing and Aging Older Adults' Ability to Learn and Utilize Visual Contexts
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The purpose of the present study was to examine how older adults utilize contextual information to guide attention in visual scenes. Studies that have examined context and attentional deployment have used the contextual ...

Examining Influential Factors and Predicting Outcomes in European Soccer Games
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Models are developed using least squares regression and logistic regression to predict outcomes of European soccer games based on four variables related to the past k games of each team playing with the following values ...
Carbohydrate-Based Micro and Nano Scale Materials from Soybean Meal, Distillers Dried Grains, and Sugar Beet Pulp for Food and other Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Study 1 was carried out to isolate and produce enzyme resistant micro and nano scale carbohydrates from soybean meal (SBM), distillers dried grains (DDG), and sugar beet pulp (SBP). All materials produced were in micro and ...
Characterization of Selected Winter Hardiness Traits in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important crop from an agronomic and nutritional standpoint. Winter pea has further agronomic benefits for producers; however, sufficient winter hardiness to survive harsh North Dakota conditions ...
Selection of Dry Bean Genotypes Adapted for Drought Tolerance in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Drought stress is a production constraint that growers face in the Northern Great Plains. This research was conducted to (1) assess the differences in seed yield due to drought within each one of the three most important ...
Turf Quality of Creeping Bentgrass Using Foliar Fertilization Tank-Mixed with Sprayable Organic Amendments
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The use of foliar fertilizer applications on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a popular method of achieving quality turfgrass. Tank-mixing foliar products may increase turfgrass quality, reduce amount of ...
Genetics and Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping of Septoria Tritici Blotch Resistance, Agronomic, and Quality Traits in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Most breeding programs aim at developing superior germplasm and better cultivars that combine high yield, disease and pest resistance, and end-use quality to satisfy the requirements of the growers as well as industry. A ...
