It is often argued that only large metropolitan areas possess the preconditions for the origination of successful technology companies. However, smaller cities across the country have been successful in developing vibrant ...
Determining Women’s Innermost Social Support Relationships
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
This thesis examined how single women over forty determine their innermost social support relationship. A qualitative study of personal in-depth interviews was conducted with twelve single women ranging in ages 41 to 95 ...
#NOFILTER: Exploration of Instagram and Individuals’ Conception of Self
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
For this study, I sought to explore the use of Instagram and to understand how an individuals’ self-concept is portrayed on Instagram through Goffman’s (1959) theoretical frameworks of impression management and performance. ...

(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The number of immigrants from different countries has increased in the United States in the past few years. Fargo/ Moorhead area was enriched with individuals and families from various post-war and undeveloped countries. ...
Nonparametric Tests for the Non-Decreasing and Alternative Hypotheses for the Incomplete Block and Completely Randomized Mixed Design
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This research study proposes a solution to deal with missing observations which is
a common problem in real world datasets. A nonparametric approach is used because of
its ease of use relative to the parametric approach ...
A Conditional Random Field (CRF) Based Machine Learning Framework for Product Review Mining
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The task of opinion mining from product reviews has been achieved by employing rule-based approaches or generative learning models such as hidden Markov models (HMMs). This paper introduced a discriminative model using ...
A Nonparametric Test for the Non-Decreasing Alternative in an Incomplete Block Design

Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes and Gene Sets Using a Modified Q-Value
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Gene expression technologies allow expression levels to be compared across treatments for thousands of genes simultaneously. Statistical methods exist for identifying differentially expressed (DE) genes and gene sets while ...
