Comparing Performance of ANOVA to Poisson and Negative Binomial Regression When Applied to Count Data
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is the easiest and most widely used model nowadays in statistics. ANOVA however requires a set of assumptions for the model to be a valid choice and for the inferences to be accurate. Among ...
Investigating Gender Bias Among Grant Applicants
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
An ongoing debate in society is about the existence of a wage gap between genders, and society’s alleged preference to hire a man over an equally qualified woman. This debate extends from the commercial employment world ...
Parents of Children with Autism: The Stigma and Emotion Work Associated with Navigating, Advocating, and Managing Autism
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This study analyzes the experiences of stigmatization and emotion work through the interview responses of eight parents of children with autism. Developing from Goffman’s theories of direct stigma and associative stigma ...
Experimental Study of the Temperature Profile of a Gaussian Type Heat Distribution
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In research aimed at studying the laser microwelding of thermoplastic materials, two theoretical heat flow models were studied by Dr. Grewell. In the surface temperature profile based on the Gaussian type distributed heat ...
The Role of the County Emergency Manager in Disaster Mitigation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Scholarship on disasters in the United States would suggest that emergency managers
should play a role in hazard mitigation. Yet, little empirical research has investigated precisely what role or roles emergency managers ...
Evaluating the Safety and Mobility of the Cumulative-Anticipative Car-Following Model for Connected Autonomous Vehicles
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The advancements of vehicle automation are progressively improving resulting in safer driving environments in addition to more efficient mobility and fuel cost savings. However, autonomous and connected autonomous vehicles ...
Detection of Two-Dimensional Internal Cracks in Concrete Using Point Strain Sensors
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Tensile cracking in the concrete can destroy the structural frame since it induces water penetration in structure and foundation. For instance, in concrete pavements, cracking increases the potential for pavement distress, ...
Influence of Paste Quality Constituents on Drying Shrinkage
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The paste system of concrete materials often holds the “DNA” to understanding their potential mechanical properties. As drying shrinkage and related cracking remains a top concern for the service life of concrete, this ...
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. ...
Improvement of Organoleptic Attributes of Yellow Pea Flour Through An Emerging Green Technology: Supercritical Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol Extraction
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
An increasing demand for following healthier eating pattern has created a rapidly growing food market, including more nutrient dense and healthier plant-based foods. Nutrient-dense yellow pea flour is ideal for addressing ...
