Glutaraldehyde Removal from Produced Water Using Photolysis and Photocatalysis
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Glutaraldehyde (GA) has been used extensively as a biocide in hydraulic fracturing fluids leading to the contamination of the compound in produced water. In this study, the performances of photolysis and photocatalysis for ...
Phosphorus Dynamics and Crop Productivity in Bakken Crude-Oil Remediated Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Thermal desorption (TD), a remediation method used to remove hydrocarbons from contaminated soils, may cause changes in soil properties that threaten soil function and plant productivity. The goal of this research is to ...
Energy-Related Traffic Increases Fugitive Dust, with Mixed Effects on Bakken Cropland Trophic Levels
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
We investigated how anthropogenic landscape industrialization affects croplands through increased emissions of fugitive dust along unpaved roads with energy-related traffic. We reviewed literature regarding plants and ...
Predicting Soil Health and Function of the Barnes Catena Using Evapotranspiration, Vegetative, Geologic, and Terrain Attributes in the Eastern Glaciated Plains of North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The benchmark Barnes soil series is an extensive northern Great Plains upland Hapludoll that is vital to the region. Accelerated erosion has degraded Barnes agricultural soil quality, but with unknown extent or severity. ...
Assessment of Watershed Health on Intermittent Watersheds in Southwestern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Watersheds are complex systems that are influenced by many factors including geomorphology, climate, soil, vegetation, and land management. Due to this complexity, a watershed assessment that evaluates both the riparian ...
Screening Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivars for Reduced Phosphorus Fertilizer Requirement
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Phosphorus (P) is a common macronutrient required for hard red spring (HRS) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and yield expression, and is a significant expense for farmers. The objective of this study was to screen 89 ...
Sugarbeet Yield and Quality Response to Nitrogen Fertilizer Rate and In-Season Prediction of Yield and Quality Using Active-Optical Sensor
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Nitrogen (N) management is one of the important factors in sugarbeet production. Under-application of N-fertilizer results in lower root yield while over-application of N-fertilizer can result in decreased sugar concentration ...
Environmental Socialization: A Case Study on Formative Influences
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Twenty-first century social-ecologic systems are in the midst of a complex adaptive cycle. There is growing evidence to suggest the existence of a psycho-social developmental process whereby a person becomes situated in ...
Bending and Force Recovery in Polymer Films and Microgel Formation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
To determine correlation between geometry and material three different model films: polymethylsiloxane (PDMS), polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC), were singly bent and doubly bent (forming D-cones). Bends were chosen ...
Selection for Low Calcium Tolerance in Brassica rapa
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Ecosystems across a landscape can vary in their selection pressures and therefore can vary in the species that are able to survive there. Selection pressures applied on a species found in multiple ecosystems may lead to ...
