Processing and Manufacture of Soybean and Wheat Straw Medium Density Fiberboard Utilizing Epoxidized Sucrose Soyate Resin
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Soybean straw and wheat straw show promise as annually renewable alternative to traditional wood sources for fiberboard. Epoxidized sucrose soyate has shown high performance as a thermosetting resin and could be adapted ...
Experimental and Micromechanical Analysis of Flax and Glass Reinforced Bio-Based Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Two different novel high-functional bio-based resins from Methoxylated Sucrose Soyate Polyol (MSSP) and methacrylated epoxidized sucrose soyate (MAESS) were used as matrices for composites. Vinyl ester reinforced with flax ...
Theoretical Study on Thin Film Dye Sensitized Photovoltaic Solar Cells
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This thesis presents two models of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC): diffusion model and electrical model. The main purpose is to investigate interfacial charge transfer and charge transport within the semiconductor/electrolyte ...
Properties of Flax Fiber Reinforced Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
In the field of renewable materials, natural fiber composites demonstrate the capacity to be a viable structural material. When normalized by density, flax fiber mechanical properties are competitive with E-glass fibers. ...
Minimum Favorable Conditions for Hydrogen-Diesel Combustion
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A test apparatus was designed and fabricated that allowed very small amounts of diesel fuel to be injected into a hydrogen-air mixture. This apparatus was designed to be able to operate near the limits of diesel fuel ...
Interfacial Characterization of Fibrous Composites by Cohesive Zone Method
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
This work deals with investigation of the interface between unidirectional E-glass fiber and epoxy matrix composites. The two parts in this work are: 1. A periodically constrained finite element (FE) model built as a ...
A Study on the Processing Characteristics and Reinforcing Potential of Natural Fiber Mats
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Limited information exists regarding the processing parameters and extent of reinforcing potential natural fibers have in polymer matrices. The five natural fiber mats studied were low shive flax, mid shive flax, high shive ...
The Choral Music of Frederick Delius (1862-1934) and its Influence on the Choral Music of Early Twentieth-Century British Composers
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The composer Frederick Delius wrote a large body of choral music including choral/orchestral works and part songs. This body of choral music had an important influence on the younger generation of British choral composers, ...
Composer, Conductor, Cornetist: A Biography of Jean-Baptiste Schiltz (fl.1831-1868) and a Survey of his Works for Cornet and Piano
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
In its heyday, the cornet was a popular instrument and the brass instrument of choice for virtuosi worldwide. Cornet soloists such as Jean-Baptiste Arban (1825–1889) and Herbert Lincoln Clarke (1867–1945) impressed audiences ...
The Inception of Trumpet Performance in Brazil and Four Selected Solos for Trumpet and Piano, Including Modern Performance Editions: Fantasia for Trumpet (1854) by Henrique Alves de Mesquita (1830-1906); Vocalise-Etude (1929) by Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959); Invocation and Point (1968) by Osvalda
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
This disquisition provides a modern performance edition of four Brazilian compositions
for trumpet and piano by Henrique Alves de Mesquita’ (1830–1906) Fantasia para Piston
[Fantasy for trumpet, 1854], Heitor Villa-Lobos’s ...
