Synthesis and Utilization of Si6H12 and Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br) for the Generation of Novel Silicon Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cyclohexasilane (Si6H12) and its derivatives, Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br), have chemical and physical properties different from linear and branched polysilanes, thus creating interest in their use as starting materials for a variety ...
C.O.P.E. Influence on Resiliency and Self-Efficacy in a Rural North Dakota School (Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment)
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
One in three teens is estimated to experience an anxiety disorder between 13 to 18 years of age. Developed mental health burdens in adolescents can go undetected and untreated. About 50% of those with mental health disorders ...
Transformation Electromagnetics/Optics for Designing and Scanning Antenna Arrays
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Recent developments in engineered electromagnetic materials, also known as metamaterials paved the way for new design approaches of unique and incomprehensible electromagnetic devices and structures using electromagnetic ...
Alignment of Genetic Variation, Plasticity, and Selection, and the Effects of Cost of Plasticity
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Phenotypic expression depends on both the underlying genetics and the environment the phenotype is expressed in, i.e., plasticity. Adaptive theory predicts that selection should align with the dimensions of most genetic ...
Modal Analysis of the Human Brain Using Dynamic Mode Decomposition
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The human brain is the most important organ of the human body. It controls our thoughts, movements and emotions. For that reason, protecting the brain from harm is of the utmost importance but to protect the brain, one ...
Skin Cancer Screening with the Use of Dermoscopy in Primary Care
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) (2018), skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Though rare, melanoma is the skin cancer linked with the highest mortality rate (The Skin Cancer ...
A Metal Catalyzed Approach for Heterocycle Coupling Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Heterocycles are cyclic compounds which contain atoms from at least two different elements. The work in this thesis describes methods we developed for the direct chemical transformation of indole heterocycles with various ...
Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Response to Shifts in Hydroclimatic Variability and Ecohydrological Conditions in Prairie-Pothole Wetlands: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Ecosystem degradation and subsequent biodiversity loss has plagued freshwater environments globally. Wetland ecosystems, such as the depressional wetlands found in the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, have been ...
Pioneers and Pestilence: Emotion, Memory, and Historical Narratives at the Harrison Township Cholera Cemetery
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
This thesis examines the interplay between emotion and social memory in the historical narrative (re)formation of the Harrison Township Cholera Cemetery in the village of Lockbourne, Pickaway County, Ohio. The research ...
Some Studies on Reliability Analysis of Complex Cyber-Physical Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs), a term coined in 2006 refers to the integration of computation with physical processes. Particularly, modern critical infrastructures are examples of CPSs, like smart electric power grids, ...
