Advanced Evapotranspiration Measurement for Crop Water Management in the Red River Valley
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
As the main component of terrestrial energy and water balance, evapotranspiration (ET) moves a large amount of water and energy in the form of latent heat flux from bare soil and vegetated surfaces into the atmosphere. ...
Bankruptcy Model Application to Missouri River Water Allocation
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Growing demand for water and improper resource management over the years have led conflicts among states and countries. This research applies cooperative game theory. The bankruptcy model, where claims for resources exceed ...
Agricultural Field Applications of Digital Image Processing Using an Open Source ImageJ Platform
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Digital image processing is one of the potential technologies used in precision agriculture to gather information, such as seed emergence, plant health, and phenology from the digital images. Despite its potential, the ...
Process Benefits of Using Biomass Pellets in a Biorefinery
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Pelleted biomass can help simplify biomass supply systems and reduce downstream processing costs that are vital for the development of commercial biorefineries. This study is based on comparison of process benefits and ...
Effects of Replacing Supplemental Sucrose with Beef During Mid to Late Gestation on Maternal Health and Fetal Growth and Development Using a Sow Biomedical Model
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Americans consume three percent more total daily calories from sugar than current recommendations. Maternal diets high in sugar can cause obesity and diabetes mellitus. Objectives were to compare supplemental dietary sucrose ...
Treatment of Industrial Wastewater Derived Organic Pollutants Using Electrochemical Methods Through Optimization of Operation Parameters.
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Industrial operations produce a notable amount of wastewaters with high concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD), mostly consisting of organic carbon compounds. The treatment performance of electrochemical methods for ...
Effects of Nutrient Restriction, Realimentation, and Twinning on Plasma Volume, Umbilical Hemodynamics and Placental Characteristics in the Pregnant Adolescent Ewe
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Reproductive physiology in production animals is a key economic component of longevity and profitability of animal farming. There are several components that can benefit or compromise adequate pregnancy periods. Sheep ...
Tenderness and Juiciness of Beef Steaks from Varying Hot Carcass Weights
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The objective of this study was to determine how hot carcass weights affect temperature decline and pH decline of beef carcasses, as well as, tenderness, juiciness and color of beef steaks. Carcasses were selected based ...
Maternal Nutrition, One-Carbon Metabolites, and Programming of Fetal Development During Early Gestation
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Crossbred Angus heifers (n = 14) were bred via AI, assigned to nutritional treatment (CON = 100% of requirements for 0.45 kg/d gain and RES = 60% of CON) and ovariohysterectomized on d 50 of gestation. Fetal liver, muscle ...
Factors Affecting Testicular Growth and Development in the Beef Bull
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
At present no single parameter can predict potential daily sperm production (DSP) in bulls. Sertoli cells (SC) are responsible for nourishing and providing physical support to germ cells (GC) throughout spermatogenesis. ...
