Self Perceptions of Aging: Women's Views of The Aging Process
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Society has generally taught women in a rather subliminal way they should remain
young, thin, and beautiful (Horton, Baker, Cote, & Deakin, 2008; Mock & Eibach, 2011; Stark-
Wroblewski, Edelbaum, & Bello, 2008). As the ...
Experimental Evaluation of Multiscale Behavior of Human Bone
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Bone is the most important structural member of the human body. It has a unique
hierarchical structure and its primary constituents, collagen molecules and hydroxyapatite, are
arranged in a staggered pattern at nanometer ...
Optical Properties and Ensemble Characteristics of Size Purified Silicon Nanocrystals
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Nanotechnology is at the forefront of current scienti c research and nanocrystals
are being hailed as the `arti cial' atoms of the 21st century. Semiconducting silicon
nanocrystals (SiNCs) are prime candidates for potential ...
Laser-Assisted Advanced Assembly for MEMS Fabrication
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are currently fabricated using methods originally designed for manufacturing semiconductor devices, using minimum if any assembly at all. The inherited limitations of this approach ...
Simulation of a Sudden Expansion Using Axis Symmetric Modeling for Newtonian Blood Flow
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This paper examines the flow of a Newtonian modeled blood through axisymmetric sudden expansion geometry. Reynolds number of 500, 2000, 3500, 5000, and 6500 are examined using laminar, shear stress transport, and base line ...
Numerical Simulations of Incompressible and Compressible Transitional Turbine Flows
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Accurate and reliable turbulence and transition models are needed for prediction heating loads in the hot section of the turbine, and predicting aerodynamic losses when designing new blade profiles. Two dimensional ...
Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Al-Cu Cold Sprayed and Alloy 625 Wire Arc Sprayed Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This study examines microstructural-based mechanical properties of Al-Cu composite deposited by cold spraying and wire arc sprayed nickel-based Alloy 625 coating using numerical modeling and experimental techniques. The ...
North Dakota's Nurturing Parenting Programs: An Exploratory Evaluation Using Multilevel Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Parent education is a common form of tertiary prevention of child maltreatment. The Nurturing Parenting Programs (NPP) include tertiary prevention programs, and general support exists for their effectiveness. However, the ...
Biomimetic Nanoclay Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Tissue engineering offers a significant potential alternative to conventional methods for rectifying tissue defects by evoking natural regeneration process via interactions between cells and 3D porous scaffolds. Imparting ...
Influence of the Biaxiality Ratio on Multiaxial Fatigue of Metallic Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The ability to model and predict multiaxial fatigue life without being too aggressive or conservative is of great interest to engineers. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the biaxiality ratio (σ2/σ1) ...
