Proposed Nonparametric Tests for the Umbrella Alternative in a Mixed Design
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Several nonparametric tests are proposed for a mixed design consisting of a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and a completely randomized design (CRD) under the umbrella hypothesis with a known and an unknown peak. ...
Black Bean Milling and Flour Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Dry bean utilization by the food industry can be increased by developing value-added processing applications. The goals of this research were to evaluate (1) the effect of milling method on the physical, chemical and ...
Comparative Study on Hulled Wheats Kernel, Flour, Dough Quality and Dietary Fiber Variation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This study was conducted to evaluate the kernel, flour and dough qualities and dietary fiber content of hulled wheats. Experimental design was separate randomized complete block designs for hulled wheat species with four ...
Multi-Parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross Population for Improvement of Genetic Resistance of Dry Bean to White Mold
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
White mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Lib. de Bary) is one of the most important diseases of common bean in the U.S. with seed yield losses up to 100%. White mold resistance is hard to incorporate into breeding materials ...
Limiting Financial Risk from Catastrophic Events in Project Management
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This dissertation develops a mixed integer linear program to establish the upper and lower bounds of the Alphorn of Uncertainty. For a project manager, planning for uncertainty is a staple of their jobs and education. ...
Nonparametric Tests for the Umbrella Alternative in a Mixed Design for a Known Peak
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
When an assumption from a parametric test cannot be verified, a nonparametric test provides a simple way of conducting a test on populations. The motivation behind conducting a test of the hypothesis is to examine the ...
Managing Soybean Cyst Nematode by Utilizing Cover Crops and Resistant Sources from Early Maturing Soybean Accessions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Greenhouse and microplot studies were conducted for understanding the effects of cover crop species/cultivars for hosts and population reduction of soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) from the fields of North ...
Strategies for the Reduction of Adipose Tissue and Retention of Muscle Mass in Overweight Individuals
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether time-restricted feeding (TRF) was an effective dietary strategy for reducing fat mass and preserving fat-free mass while evaluating potential changes in cardiometabolic ...
Proposed Methods for the Nondecreasing Order-Restricted Alternative in a Mixed Design
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Nonparametric statistics are commonly used in the field of statistics due to their robustness when the underlying assumptions are violated for the usual parametric statistics. In this dissertation, we proposed eight ...
Understanding Host Resistance and Pathogen Biology in the Wheat-Fusarium graminearum Pathosystem
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major challenge in global wheat production. In the United States, the disease is predominantly caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum. Utilization of FHB-resistant wheat cultivars integrated ...
