Strategies for Optimizing Nitrogen Use in Corn with and without Subsurface Drainage
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Excessive soil moisture can impact planting date, plant establishment, and N availability, resulting in reduced yields and N use efficiency. Nitrogen management practices such as use of urease and nitrification inhibitors, ...
Changing Dating Behavior Expectations by Using Judgmental Anchors to Induce Cognitive Dissonance
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
This study expanded upon literature separately examining numerical anchors and cognitive dissonance, by attempting to use numerical anchors to induce cognitive dissonance and change dating behavior expectations. The high ...
Facilitating Attentional Guidance in Driving Scenes: Adult Age Differences in the Effectiveness of Directional Cues
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Aging negatively impacts multiple processes of visual attention that can influence driving performance and safety. However, spatial orienting in response to visual cues remains relatively intact into late adulthood. The ...
Does Discussing Problems Online Change the Nature of Co-rumination and Its Associated Effects on Negative Affect and Perceived Friendship Quality?
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Engagement in problem-focused discussions that direct attention to negative emotions predicts heightened depressive affect and feelings of closeness with friends (Rose, 2002). The goal of this study was to test whether the ...
Characterization of Selected Winter Hardiness Traits in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important crop from an agronomic and nutritional standpoint. Winter pea has further agronomic benefits for producers; however, sufficient winter hardiness to survive harsh North Dakota conditions ...
The Relationship Between Appearance Comparisons and Disordered Eating Behaviors: A Proposed Model and a Test of an Intervention
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
One sociocultural factor that has been implicated as a risk factor in the development of eating disorders is a tendency to compare one’s appearance to others’ (appearance-related comparisons). The aims of the current study ...
Quantitative Genetics of Drought Resistance in Early Maturing Maize (Zea Mays L)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Drought stress is paramount in limiting worldwide maize (Zea mays L.) production and productivity. In addition, drought has limited expansion of maize production to marginal conditions in areas including western North ...
Mechanical and Physical Properties of Biodegradable Wheat Bran, Maize Bran, and Dried Distillers Grain Arabinoxylan Films
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Arabinoxylans are non-starch polysaccharides in the cell walls of cereal crops including maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Arabinoxylans are produced when maize bran, dried distillers grain, and wheat ...
Selection of Dry Bean Genotypes Adapted for Drought Tolerance in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Drought stress is a production constraint that growers face in the Northern Great Plains. This research was conducted to (1) assess the differences in seed yield due to drought within each one of the three most important ...
Development of a Genetic Transformation System of Raspberry Cultivars for Gene Function Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
An Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system of purple raspberry ‘Amethyst’ was established after a series of experiments that determined the effect of genotype, inoculum density, and co-cultivation time on transformation. ...
