Use of the Graston Technique® in Clinical Practice by Certified Athletic Trainers
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The Graston Technique® is a common treatment that combines a warm-up, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), stretching, and strengthening protocols. The treatment is commonly chosen by clinicians to treat ...
Advanced Measurements and Analyses of Flow Past Three-Cylinder Rotating System
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Interaction of flow structures from a three-cylinder system is complex and important for fundamental and engineering applications. In this study, experiments using hotwire, 2D PIV, and Tomography are to be conducted to ...
Experimental Study of Effects of Leading-Edge Structures on the Dynamic Stall of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Airfoil
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Vertical axis wind turbine, developed as one of the main methods to utilize the wind energy, has a promising future; however, the major issue to limit its performance is the uneven loading on the blade during operation. ...
Device Design for In-Situ EIS Measurements of Organic Coatings Under Accelerated Degradation Via Impingement Flow
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This paper demonstrated a holistic approach to the study of corrosion degradation mechanism of organic coatings using impingement flows. A state-of-the-art impingement flow testing device was developed for the experimental ...
A Brief Overview of Lung Disease Caused by Environmental Microorganisms, Aspergillus Fumigatus and Saccharopolyspora Rectivirgula
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
People often take breathing and respiratory health for granted, but our lungs are constantly inundated with damaging agents, making them highly vulnerable to injury and infection. Globally, respiratory diseases are a leading ...
Inspection of Excited State Properties in Defected Carbon Nanotubes from Multiple Exciton Generation to Defect-Defect Interactions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Covalent SP3-hybridization defects in single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been prevalent in recent experimental and theoretical studies for their interesting photophysical properties. These systems are able to act ...
A Density Functional Theory and Many Body Perturbation Theory Based Study of Photo-Excited Charge Separation in Doped Silicon Nanowires with Gold Leads: Toy Models for the Photovoltaic Effect
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
We analyze a toy model for p-n junction photovoltaic devices by simulating photoexcited state dynamics in silicon nanowires. One nanowire is approximately circular in cross section with a diameter of d = 1.17 nm. The other ...
Developing a New Inoculation Method, and Evaluating the Potential Biological Control of Rhizoctonia solani by Penicillium pinophilum on Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Rhizoctonia solani causes damping-off, and root and crown rot of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and overwinters as sclerotia and mycelia. Research was conducted to determine how best to produce large quantities of sclerotia ...
Excited State Dynamics in 1D Thermoelectric Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Here, nonadiabatic computations are used to study the thermoelectric effect and evaluate electron relaxation rates in lead telluride nanowires. κ_e = 1/τ_el is defined as the electron relaxation rate. It is directly ...
An Overview of SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19: Epidemiology, Origin, and Pathology
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Following SARS (years 2002-2003) and MERS (year 2012) outbreaks, humans have faced a new highly contagious virus, SARS-COV-2, which began late 2019 and resulted in a pandemic (COVID-19 pandemic). The disease has been spread ...
