Influence of Organic and Inorganic Passivation on the Photophysics of Cadmium Chalcogenide and Lead Chalcogenide Quantum Dots
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for photovoltaic (PV) and light-emitting diode (LED) applications due to their unique properties: photostability, size-tunable absorptivity, and narrow line-width emission. These ...
Determination of Disease Impacts on Sunflower Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Diseases that infect sunflower frequently occur in North Dakota, but the impact they have on yield is unclear. The objectives of this research are to 1) evaluate fungicide efficacy, application timing and yield impact of ...
Single-Molecule Studies of Intermolecular Kinetics Using Nano-Electronics Circuits
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
As science and medicine advance, it becomes ever more important to be able to control and analyze smaller and smaller bioparticles all the way down to single molecules. In this dissertation several studies aimed at improving ...
Identifying Barriers to Preventive/Primary Care Utilization of Men in a Rural Setting
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The purpose of the project was to identify barriers preventing men living in a rural setting, ages 19-60 from participating in routine preventative/primary care. Nationally and globally, men experience greater rates of ...
Studying Window Energy Performance Using Thermal Camera
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Windows, which are responsible for 45% of overall heat loss, play a major role in a building’s energy performance. Therefore, it is critical to measure window energy performance for existing buildings. This study aimed to ...
Further Characterization of Pathogen Virulence and Genetic Mapping of New Virulence Genes in Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, the Causal Agent of Tan Spot of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot of wheat, a devastating foliar disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum L., 2n=4x=28, AABB). ...
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 ...
