Experimental Investigation of Shear Thickening Fluid Impregnated Flax Fabric and Flax/Kevlar Hybrid Fabrics
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Shear thickening fluids have the potential to improve the effectiveness of fabric materials in body armor applications as they have shown to increase the puncture and ballistic resistance of Kevlar fabrics. However, the ...
Insulation in Windows Using Resin & Aerogel Mixture
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Insulation materials are essential in building construction; this study proposed to use one such material called silica aerogel, which is known for its excellent thermal properties, and a UV acrylate resin that has been ...
Improved Hydrologic Modeling for Characterizing Variable Contributing Areas and Threshold-Controlled Overland Flow in Depression-Dominated Areas
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Surface depressions are important topographic features, which affect overland flow, infiltration, and other hydrologic processes. Specifically, depressions undergo filling-spilling-merging-splitting processes under natural ...
Dynamic Stall Characteristics of Pitching Finite-Aspect-Ratio Wings
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
In this study, an experimental investigation was performed to characterize the dynamic stall of pitching wings and provide confirmation of the existence of the arch-shaped vortex for moderate sweep wing. Dynamic stall is ...
I Want to Break Up: Testing an Integrative Framework for Understanding and Predicting Romantic Relationship Dissolution
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Romantic relationships are desired by the majority of individuals. Despite this prevalent desire, romantic relationships end often. What are the underlying motivations and reasons for breaking up with a romantic partner? ...
Determination of Growth Inhibitory Effect of Iminodibenzyl Against Breast Cancer
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Breast cancer arises from the culmination of complex process enclosing multiple gene modifications such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). It catalyzes arachidonic acid (AA, downstream ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-6 PUFA)) ...
Validation of the Pyrenophora teres f. teres PttBee1 Region and Mapping of Resistance to P. teres f. maculata in Durum
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Pyrenophora teres is a fungal pathogen of barley and other closely related grass species. Two forms of the pathogen, P. teres f. teres and P. teres f. maculata, are the causative agents of net form net blotch and spot form ...
Assessing Burnout and Resiliency Among Nurse Practitioners
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The topic of burnout among medical doctors (MDs) has depicted a strong correlation to MD education and career with burnout, ultimately causing negative psychological and physical outcomes. Research has shown that resilience ...
Potential for Phenotypic Plasticity in the Hyperosmotic Stress Response of Diverse E. coli
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Escherichia coli inhabits multiple environments that contain varying physical stresses which emphasize the importance of adaptation. The large pangenome of E. coli can account for some strain-to-strain variances in phenotype, ...
Past Flooding Events and a 400+ Year Ring-Width Chronology of Bur Oak Along The Red River in North Dakota and Minnesota
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
A paleoflood record of the United States portion of the Red River of the North was created utilizing rings of bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa Michx.). Emphasis was placed on the flood of 1826. Samples were collected from ...
