Factors Associated With Turnover Rates of Certified Nursing Assistants in Long-Term Care Facilities: The Impact on Residents and the Implementation of Empowered Workforce Strategies
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This paper reviews factors associated with high turnover rates of certified nursing assistants employed in long-term care (LTC) facilities. Adults 85 and older are the main consumers of LTC services. It is projected that ...
Parents’ Impact on Pregender Children’s Toy Preferences
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Societal messages of what it means to be a boy or a girl influence children at an early age, shaping their developing identities into adulthood. Parents, for example, offer children toys and other objects that are ...
Assessing Child Care Standards and Rates of Expulsion for Problem Behaviors in Preschool Children
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Quality in child care programs has been studied often and researchers search to find correlations between quality measures and positive child outcomes. Some studies also show that problem behaviors result in large numbers ...
A Lion or a Shoe: 17-Month-Olds Observing VS. Acting on an Object in an Object Individuation Task
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Object individuation, the ability to distinguish an object that is currently perceived from one that was previously perceived, is an important cognitive ability used in everyday life. In the current study, we assessed the ...
Synthesis of Cellulose Nanofiber Composites for Mechanical Reinforcement and Other Advanced Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Cellulose nanofibers from bioresources have attracted intensive research interest in recent years due to their unique combination of properties including high strength and modulus, low density, biocompatibility/biodegradability ...
An Insilico Design of Nanoclay Based Nanocomposites and Scaffolds In Bone Tissue Engineering
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A multiscale in silico approach to design polymer nanocomposites and scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications is described in this study. This study focuses on the role of biomaterials design and selection, ...
Multicomponent Doped Barium Strontium Titanate Thin Films for Tunable Microwave Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
In recent years there has been enormous progress in the development of barium strontium titanate (BST) films for tunable microwave applications. However, the properties of BST films still remain inferior compared to bulk ...
First Principle Study on Interfacial Energetic Alignment and Charge Transfer in Quantum Dots Functionalized via Metal-Organic Dye
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for applications in solar energy conversion because of tunable band gap, multi-exciton generation, photon-upconversion, etc. One of the main challenges of increasing solar energy ...
Agricultural Residues and Other Carbon-Based Resources as Feedstocks for Supercapacitor Electrodes
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Agricultural residues are generally considered as renewable, economical and environmental-friendly sources to produce carbon-based materials with many advanced applications. Agricultural residues and by-products generated ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Hierarchically Functionalized Carbon Nanofibers for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Among various energy conversion and storage devices available in the market, supercapacitors are deemed as an effective, competitive solution to the increasing demand for high-power density energy-storage devices. Yet, ...
