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 ...
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 ...
Impacts of Controlled Drainage and Subirrigation in The Red River Valley
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Drainage water management via controlled drainage (CD) and subirrigation (SI) has shown positive effects on water quality. To determine the impact of CD and SI in the Red River Valley (RRV), data from two fields, each with ...
Enhancing Health Professionals' Cultural Competence of Gender and Sexual Minority Health
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community continues to experience worse health outcomes than their heterosexual counterparts. Inequities in health care include low health insurance rates, high rates of ...
The Rehearsal Plan and the Preparation of Brazilian Art Songs: An Autoethnographic Study in Collaborative Piano
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the rehearsal plan in the preparation of Brazilian art songs. This disquisition proposes a rehearsal plan model based on the concept of the class plan ...
Aging, Object-Based Inhibition, and Online Data Collection
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Visual selective attention operates in space- and object-based frames of reference. Stimulus salience and task demands influence whether a space- or object-based frame of reference guides attention. I conducted two experiments ...
On Lasso Estimation of Linear Mixed Model for High Dimensional Longitudinal Data
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
With the advancement of technology in data collection, repeated measurements with high dimensional covariates have become increasingly common. The classical statistics approach for modeling the data of this kind is via the ...
The Investigation of Restoration Techniques for Two Degraded Rangeland Sites in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Vast areas of rangeland have been degraded or lost to row crop agriculture and urban development in the United States since European colonization. Two projects were undertaken to investigate strategies to improve diversity ...
Enzyme Behavior in Synthetic Materials and Structural Implications for Rational Design
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Combining enzymes with synthetic materials is the new frontier of biocatalysis, materials science, and protein engineering. Enzymes are biological macromolecule catalysts with incredible efficiency and specificity that are ...
Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction of Aromatic Esters and Aromatic Diesters with Arylboronic Acids
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for the functionalization of the ester bond provides a significant overall improvement in the catalytic system as compared to aryl halides/pseudo-halides electrophilic ...
