Antipredator Behavior and Morphology in Isolated Cyprinodont Fishes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
For desert fishes in the American Southwest, predation by invasive species has triggered massive population declines for decades, leaving researchers speculating on the underlying cause. It has been shown that Post-Pleistocene ...
Phosphorus Dynamics and Crop Productivity in Bakken Crude-Oil Remediated Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Thermal desorption (TD), a remediation method used to remove hydrocarbons from contaminated soils, may cause changes in soil properties that threaten soil function and plant productivity. The goal of this research is to ...
Predicting Soil Health and Function of the Barnes Catena Using Evapotranspiration, Vegetative, Geologic, and Terrain Attributes in the Eastern Glaciated Plains of North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The benchmark Barnes soil series is an extensive northern Great Plains upland Hapludoll that is vital to the region. Accelerated erosion has degraded Barnes agricultural soil quality, but with unknown extent or severity. ...
Environmental Socialization: A Case Study on Formative Influences
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Twenty-first century social-ecologic systems are in the midst of a complex adaptive cycle. There is growing evidence to suggest the existence of a psycho-social developmental process whereby a person becomes situated in ...
Bending and Force Recovery in Polymer Films and Microgel Formation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
To determine correlation between geometry and material three different model films: polymethylsiloxane (PDMS), polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC), were singly bent and doubly bent (forming D-cones). Bends were chosen ...
Selection for Low Calcium Tolerance in Brassica rapa
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Ecosystems across a landscape can vary in their selection pressures and therefore can vary in the species that are able to survive there. Selection pressures applied on a species found in multiple ecosystems may lead to ...
Plant-Stand Count and Weed Identification Mapping Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Images
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Modern agriculture encounters several challenges these days. There is a vital need for spatial data about plant and weed distributions. Obtaining accurate knowledge of the plants and weeds distribution in the field with ...
Novel Ecosystem Management: Evidence for Alternative Strategies in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis, hereafter bluegrass) invasion in the northern Great Plains is reducing biodiversity and altering ecosystem properties. We cannot remove bluegrass from this system due to the extent of its ...
Crowdfunding for a Cause: Rhetorically Oriented Action Research with Christian Organizations
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
When it comes to fundraising, many congregations and faith-related organizations struggle to keep up in the competitive charitable giving landscape. In recent years, online crowdfunding platforms (e.g. Kickstarter, GoFundMe, ...
Multidimensional Toggle Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
J. Propp and T. Roby isolated a phenomenon in which a statistic on a set has the same average value over any orbit as its global average, naming it homomesy. One set they investigated was order ideals of partially ordered ...
