A Review of the State of Sharp-Tailed Grouse: With Management Considerations in Minnesota and North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The sharp-tailed grouse is a member of the family Phasianidae and comprises six subspecies. They are a medium sized bird which are pursued as game in most of its range. Sharp-tailed grouse are found in large areas of North ...
Strategies to Inhibit the Formation of 3-Monochloropropane Diol During Deep-Fat Frying
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol or 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) and glycidol are the most commonly occurring group of thermal process contaminants which are considered as “possible human carcinogen” and “probably ...
Corn Yield Frontier and Technical Efficiency Measures in the Northern United States Corn Belt: Application of Stochastic Frontier Analysis and Data Envelopment Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
About 75% of human food in the 21st century consists of just 12 crops, though specific crops vary among nations. Modern technology has allowed development of innovative food and non-food uses for these commodities. For ...
The Effects of Doping on the Lithium Ionic Conductivity of LLZO Solid-State Electrolyte
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) employing solid-state electrolytes are considerably safer and might potentially generate a higher energy density compared. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the synthesis and stability ...
Prairie Response to Canada Thistle Infestation, and Native Forb Response to Aminocyclopyrachlor
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Prairie response to Canada thistle invasion was evaluated by comparison of forage yield between aminopyralid treated and non-treated infestations in North Dakota. In general, forage production was unaffected by Canada ...
Prediction of Freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms in Western Lake Erie Using Artificial Neural Network Modeling Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Blue-green algae are a major environmental concern in freshwater produce toxins and cause a wide range of problems including oxygen depletion, fish kills, harm or death to other aquatic organisms, and subsequent habitat ...
Soil Warming and Drying and the Consquence to Crop Yields among Conservation Tillage Practices in Frigid Corn-Soybean Fields
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Concerns over delayed soil warming and drying have hindered adoption of conservation tillage practices in frigid environments. Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of chisel plow (CP), vertical tillage (VT), strip ...
Evaluating the Potential Utility of Drones to Deter Birds from Areas of Human-Wildlife Conflict
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Predator-prey dynamics shaped the evolution of morphological and behavioral adaptations that foraging animals use to detect and avoid predators. Wildlife managers can potentially exploit antipredator behavior when attempting ...
Wetlands of Camp Grafton South
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The Clean Water Act provided the basis for subsequent federal and state level wetland policies. Wetland regulations have significant implications for how wetland managers implement wetland restoration, creation, and ...
Understanding Escherichia coli and Water Quality in Stormwater Retention Ponds and Detention Basins in Fargo as Part of the Red River Watershed
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Little is known about the spatial and temporal changes in water quality and E. coli throughout stormwater systems. The objectives of this study are to: 1) assess surface water within detention basins and retention ponds ...
