Environmental Influence on Cold-Climate Grapevine (Vitis Spp.) Fall Acclimation Response and Fruit Ripening
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Two experiments were conducted to determine differences in sensitivity to temperature among cold-climate grapevine genotypes in fall-acclimation response. One experiment utilized a growth chamber to compare grapevine ...
Triallate Efficacy to Suspected Herbicide Resistant Wild Oat (Avena fatua L.) in Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Herbicide-resistant weed populations have increased because of continuous use of the same grass herbicides. Several collections of wild oat with resistance to ACCase and ALS herbicides have been documented in North Dakota, ...
Municipal Solid Waste Collection Route Optimization Using Geospatial Techniques: A Case Study of Two Metropolitan Cities of Pakistan
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The population growth in many urban cities and its activities in developing countries have resulted in an increased solid waste generation rate and waste management has become a global environmental issue. Routing of solid ...
Derived Demand for Grain Freight Transportation, Rail-Truck Competition, and Mode Choice and Allocative Efficiency
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The demand for grain freight transportation is a derived demand; consequently changes in the grain supply chain in production and handling, and those in the transportation domain will affect the demand for grain transportation. ...
Modeling Petroleum Supply Chain: Multimodal Transportation, Disruptions and Mitigation Strategies
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The petroleum industry has one of the most complex supply chains in the world. A unique characteristic of Petroleum Supply Chain (PSC) is the high degree of uncertainty which propagates through the network. Therefore, it ...
Characterization of Common Wheat Translocations Carrying Leaf Rust Resistance Genes from Alien Species
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina Erikss may inflict significant yield losses in wheat; however, can be controlled by breeding for increased host resistance. In earlier studies, effective, resistance has been transferred ...
Genome-Wide Association Study of Heat Tolerance in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica Napus L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Genome-wide association study of heat stress tolerance in rapeseed/canola was conducted in greenhouse, growth chamber, and in the field. A total of 37,539 SNP markers were used in this study. In the greenhouse and growth ...
Determining Optimum Seeding Rates for Diverse Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Seeding rate for maximum grain yield can differ for diverse hard red spring wheat
(HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and can be derived from a seeding rate response curve.
Six groups of HRSW cultivars with combinations ...
Predicting Outcomes of NBA Basketball Games
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A stratified random sample of 144 NBA basketball games was taken over a three-year period, between 2008 and 2011. Models were developed to predict point spread and to estimate the probability of a specific team winning ...
Prediction of the World Cup Soccer Winner: Using Two Statistical Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Soccer is considered the most popular sport on earth and applying statistical models to analyze small soccer data has been of a keen interest to modern researchers. Statistical modeling of soccer data also provides guidance ...
