Chemical Modification of Bovine Milk Exosomes, the Biological Nanoparticles of the Future, as a Contrast Agent and Drug Delivery Vehicle
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Chemically derived nanoparticles are widely used across many applications. While they showed great promise when first discovered, the main hurdles, such as clearance and targeting, have yet to be overcome. A recently ...
Simulation-Based Optimization and Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Macromechanical and Micromechanical Characterization of Soft Biological Tissues
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious health and socioeconomic issue which affects thousands of lives annually in the United States. Computational simulations play an important role in better understanding of the TBI ...
Impacts of Added Roughage on Feedlot Performance, Digestibility, Ruminal Fermentation, and Ruminal pH of Steers Fed Wheat-Based Feedlot Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the inclusion of additional roughage in wheat-based diets containing modified distillers’ grains with solubles on feedlot performance (Study 1) and digestibility, ruminal pH, and ...
Development of an Algorithm for Detection and Recovery of Corruption in Convolutional Neural Networks Data Storage
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Computer vision based applications are commonly utilized in embedded systems. The demand for higher accuracy leads to increased complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and hence, larger storage requirement for ...
Mindset Matters: An Investigation of How Implicit Theories Manifest in the Syllabus of the College Instructor
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Recent research showed that college-level instructors’ implicit theories about intelligence, or mindset, have a direct impact on student learning outcomes. The current study sought to discover how instructor mindset ...
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Supervising Trans Counselors in Training
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Clinical supervisors should be culturally competent working with transgender counselors in training, but currently minimal research exists regarding trans counselors. The current study explores the experiences of five trans ...
Potassium Fertilization and Its Impact on Yield, Nutritive Value, Root Reserves, and Winter Hardiness of Alfalfa
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Potassium (K) is an important nutrient for winter hardiness in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). This study determined the effect of K rate and application timing, fall dormancy, and harvest stress on forage yield, nutritive ...
A Simulation Study Using a Mixed Model Framework to Analyze the Impact of Sample Size and Variability on Type I Error and Power
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Repeated measures design (or longitudinal study) are commonly seen in many research fields, especially in pharmaceutical clinical trials, agricultural research, and psychology. PROC MIXED (SAS Inc.) is a well-known standard ...
Diabetes-Related Distress Identification and Intercollaborative Treatment at a Rural, Primary Care Clinic
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The ADA found in 2018 that almost half of individuals with diabetes are not meeting diabetes goals, indicating great need for improved care. The purpose of this project was to implement the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) ...
The Influence of Body Size on Metabolic Rates, Scaling, Telomere Dynamics, and Metamorphosis in Megachilid Bees
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Body size is related to many aspects of a bee’s life history including foraging distance and pollination efficiency. Megachile rotundata, and Osmia lignaria are agriculturally important, solitary pollinators. Adult body ...
