Developing a New SNP Chip for Genomic Selection in the North Dakota State University Barley-Breeding Program
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The use of Genomic Selection has become popular due to its wide success in private and public breeding programs. The current dissertation aims to derive information that will be used to produce a single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Using a Cross-Cutting Theoretical Framework to Explore Difficulties Learning Human Anatomy and Physiology
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Across the United States, Human Anatomy and Physiology (HA&P) courses typically have some of the highest withdrawal and failure rates on college campuses. These high enrollment course typically serve as gate-keepers for ...
The Development and Validation of a New Pre-Shot Routine Model for Golf
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the past research that has been conducted to date on pre-shot routines in golf via a thorough review of the literature. A historical review is presented in a ...
Augmenting Tree Species in North Dakota: Evaluating a 'Natural Experiment'
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
A limited number of woody species are approved by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for conservation plantings. Unapproved tree and shrub species are sometimes planted if privately funded. This study located such ...
Influence of Organic and Inorganic Passivation on the Photophysics of Cadmium Chalcogenide and Lead Chalcogenide Quantum Dots
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for photovoltaic (PV) and light-emitting diode (LED) applications due to their unique properties: photostability, size-tunable absorptivity, and narrow line-width emission. These ...
Determination of Disease Impacts on Sunflower Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Diseases that infect sunflower frequently occur in North Dakota, but the impact they have on yield is unclear. The objectives of this research are to 1) evaluate fungicide efficacy, application timing and yield impact of ...
Single-Molecule Studies of Intermolecular Kinetics Using Nano-Electronics Circuits
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
As science and medicine advance, it becomes ever more important to be able to control and analyze smaller and smaller bioparticles all the way down to single molecules. In this dissertation several studies aimed at improving ...
Identifying Barriers to Preventive/Primary Care Utilization of Men in a Rural Setting
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The purpose of the project was to identify barriers preventing men living in a rural setting, ages 19-60 from participating in routine preventative/primary care. Nationally and globally, men experience greater rates of ...
Studying Window Energy Performance Using Thermal Camera
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Windows, which are responsible for 45% of overall heat loss, play a major role in a building’s energy performance. Therefore, it is critical to measure window energy performance for existing buildings. This study aimed to ...
Further Characterization of Pathogen Virulence and Genetic Mapping of New Virulence Genes in Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, the Causal Agent of Tan Spot of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot of wheat, a devastating foliar disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum L., 2n=4x=28, AABB). ...
