Evaluating the Effects of Rail Preemption Strategies on Highway Safety and Operations
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Previous research related to signal preemption near highway-rail grade crossings
has emphasized safety considerations, which are paramount due to the severity of potential
train-vehicle collisions. The purpose of this ...
Effects of Nanoscale Zero-valent iron (nZVI) on Bacterial Viability: Roles of Growth Phases and Oxidative Stress
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The effect of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles on bacteria from different
growth phases was studied. Four bacterial strains including Escherichia coli strains JMI09
and BW25 l l 3, and Pseudomonas putida strains ...
The Influence of Fathers on Adolescent Boys' and Girls' Disordered Eating
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Because eating disorders and body dissatisfaction are significant problems in
adolescence, it is important to study the sociocultural influences that may be associated
with these attitudes and behaviors. Researchers have ...
POMDP Planning in Service Composition
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Automated vVeb service composition is becoming an increasingly important
research topic. It describes the automatic process of composing atomic services into
a chain of services that provide a specific functionality that ...
A Comparison of the Ansari-Bradley Test and the Moses Test for the Variances
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This paper is aimed to compare the powers and significance levels of two well known
nonparametric tests: the Ansari-Bradley test and the Moses test in both situations where
the equal-median assumption is satisfied and ...
Graduate School Application Archive System (GSAAS)
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The advent of using web applications has dramatically changed the way people
access data and understand these concepts. Users have expressed problems involved with
accessing the data in an easy and effective way with ...
Frequent Substring-Based Sequence Classification Using Reduced Alphabets
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
In recent years, various disciplines have generated large quantities of sequence
data which has necessitated automated techniques for classifying these sequences
into different categories of interest. Especially with the ...
Changes in Negative Affect Following Pain (vs. Nonpainful) Stimulation in Individuals With and Without a History of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Theoretical models of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI; i.e., purposeful destruction of body
tissue without suicidal intent) suggest that individuals engage in NSSI in order to regulate
intense emotions. However, empirical ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Polyvinylether Polymers Produced Using Carbocationic Polymerization
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Using carbocationic polymerization, a series of novel polyvinylether polymers and
copolymers were synthesized and characterized. A series of polysiloxane copolymers
containing polymer grafts possessing Triclosan moieties ...
Genomic Analysis of Tan Spot and Stagonospora Nodorum Blotch Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Host-selective toxins, or necrotrophic effectors, are important determinants of
disease in both wheat-Stagonospora nodorum and wheat- Pyrenophora tritici-repentis
pathosystems. This study describes the identification, ...
