(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Title: Comparing hydration practices of long-distance runners during intended training, an intended event, and an actual event during COVID-19.
Context: Prior studies on long-distance runners have yet to compare hydration ...
Extracting Useful Information and Building Predictive Models from Medical and Health-Care Data Using Machine Learning Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In healthcare, a large number of medical data has emerged. To effectively use these data to improve healthcare outcomes, clinicians need to identify the relevant measures and apply the correct analysis methods for the type ...
Image Registration and Fusion Application
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Image Registration and Fusion is a process of manipulating two or more input images through a combination of geometric transformation operations and fusion rules to obtain the information from the input images into one ...
Surface and Interface Effects on the Photoexcited Process of Silver Nanoclusters, and Lead & Cadmium Chalcogenide Nanocrystals
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The surface and interface of the metal nanoclusters and semiconducting nanomaterials play a key role in determining the electronic structure and overall photophysical properties. A single strand DNA stabilizes the metal ...
Estimating the Impacts of Litter Size and Non-Additive Genetic Effects on Ewe Longevity and Stayability in a U.S. Western Extensive Range Production System
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Non-additive genetic effects are usually ignored in animal breeding programs due to data structure, computational limitations, and over-parameterization of the models. Non-additive genetic effects play an important role ...
Mechanics of Surface Instabilities of Soft Nanofibers and Nonlinear Contacts of Hydrogels
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The research of this dissertation is formulated in two fields, i.e., the theoretical and computational studies of circumferential wrinkling on soft nanofibers and the swelling mechanics study of a bi-layered spherical ...
The Quality of Mitigation Plans in Large Jurisdictions in the Upper Midwest
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This study sought to evaluate the plan quality of Hazard Mitigation plans of 30 larger jurisdictions counties in the upper Mid-West. Better plans serve as better guidance for communities to choose better actions and inflict ...
Skin Cancer Screening in Primary Care Using Dermoscopy
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Skin cancer rates continue to rise affecting millions of individuals annually. While cutaneous malignant melanoma comprises a fraction of total skin cancers diagnosed, melanoma is associated with a poor prognosis and higher ...
Proposed Nonparametric Tests for Equality of Location and Scale Against Ordered Alternatives
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Ordered alternatives tests are sometimes used in life-testing experiments and drug-screening studies. An ordered alternative test is sometimes used to gain power if the researcher thinks parameters will be ordered in a ...
The Effect of Relationship-building Programs on the Resilience of Women in Agriculture
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between participation in relationship-building programs and online social groups, and the individual resilience of women in agriculture in the United States. Women ...
