Surface Property Modification of Coatings via Self-Stratification
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Biological fouling occurs everywhere in the marine environment and is a significant problem for marine vessels. Anti-fouling coatings have been used effectively to prevent fouling; however, these coatings harm non-targeted ...
Magnesium Alloy Particulates Used as Pigments in Metal-Rich Primer System for AA2024 T3 Corrosion Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
As an alternative to the present toxic chromate-based coating system now in use, the Mg-rich primer technology has been designed to protect A1 alloys (in particular A1 2024 T3) and developed in analogy to Zn-rich primers ...
Synthesis and Photophysics of Platinum(II) Terdentate and Bidentate Complexes.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Platinum(ll) terdentate and bidentate complexes possess square-planar d8 configuration.
The moderate metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (1MLCT) absorption, 3MLCT emission, and
broadband excited-state absorption are the ...
Avian Use of Rice Baited Trays Attached to Cages with Live Decoy Blackbirds in Central North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The viability of a management program using DRC-1339 (3-chloro-4-methylanaline
hydrochloride) rice bait and live decoy blackbirds to reduce avian depredation on
sunflower was assessed. In fall 2007 and 2008, observations ...
Time to Play the Religion Card: Messiah Complexes in Battlestar Galactica
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
In 2003, Battlestar Galactica (BSG) was re-invented from its 1978 roots and
updated to a post-apocalyptic narrative that reflects numerous issues in current American
culture, including the influence of religious rhetoric ...
Learning the Ropes of Emotion Labor: How are Certified Nursing Assistants Socialized to Manage Emotion?
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This project explores the organizational socialization of emotion among certified nursing
assistants employed in nursing homes. Six certified nursing assistants in the encounter
phase of organizational socialization ...
A Molecular Dynamics Study of Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Polymer Composites and Graphene Nanoplatelet Polymer Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Carbon nanotubes have been the main focus in science and engineering fields lately
for their extraordinary properties. But carbon nanotube fabrication process is very
expensive, particularly for reinforcements and ...
Creativity and Randomness
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Major theories of creative cognition are reviewed in the present thesis. These theories are
diverse yet seem to converge on similar key processes. One definition of creativity
emphasizes going beyond stereotypical responses ...
A Closed Form Optimization Model for The Conflict Neutralization Problem
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
In this study, we proposed a novel closed form optimization model for the
Conflict Neutralization Problem (CKP) and implemented an efficient algorithm for
solving the problem. A novel tableau representation of the CNP ...
Yield Comparison of Transplanted Tomato and Pepper Plants Grown in Different Sized Cell Packs
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Field experiments were conducted at Fargo, North Dakota, in 2006 and
repeated at Fargo, Oakes, North Dakota, and Absaraka, North Dakota, in 2007 to
compare time to harvest and yields from tomatoes (Lycopersicon escu/entum ...
