Incorporating Adaptive Management and Translational Ecology into the North Dakota Total Maximum Daily Load Program: A Case Study of the Fordville Dam Nutrient TMDL
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Translational ecology and adaptive management strategies were incorporated into the Fordville Dam Nutrient Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) case study to determine if these two techniques were compatible to the North Dakota ...
Timing is Everything : How Environmental Change May Disrupt the Timing of Plant-Pollinator Interactions
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Ecosystems are experiencing environmental change brought about by warming temperatures, altered precipitation, and increasing atmospheric CO2, among other factors. These changes could alter interspecies’ relationships, ...
Fire and Nitrogen Effects on a Purple Threeawn-Dominated Plant Community in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Purple threeawn (Aristida purpurea Nutt. varieties) is a native grass capable of rapidly increasing on rangelands, forming near monocultures, creating a stable state. Rangelands throughout the Great Plains and Intermountain ...
How Decision-Making Can Inform Sustainable Development of the Expanding Oil Industry of Western Kazakhstan
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
This paper explores how decision-making under uncertainty can address opportunities, risks, and uncertainties for sustainable development; how decision theory, resilience thinking, and scenario planning approaches can ...
Using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Technology to Assess Bird-Habitat Relationships: A Case Study from the Northwoods of Maine
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that quantifies the travel time of photons emitted in pulses from a LiDAR instrument to travel to and reflect back from objects. Knowing the travel ...
Oviposition Preference and Larval Host Range of the Sugarbeet Root Maggot
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The sugarbeet root maggot, Tetanops myopaeformis Röder, is native to North America; however, its main crop host, sugarbeet, Beta vulgaris L., was introduced to the continent from Europe. This study involved an investigation ...
Crop and Prairie Grasses Serving as Hosts for the Hessian Fly
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Insect herbivores typically parasitize a relatively small number of plant species. Host specialization is presumed to be a result of evolutionary arms races, with insect adaptations ultimately restricting host range. Being ...
Design of an Audio-Visual Display for Cross-Modal Experimentation
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The present paper shows the characteristics of a hardware/software display capable of presenting, at different spatial locations, multiple audio-visual stimuli in real-time. The system has been developed to provide a tool ...
Computer-Aided Microwave Design System (CAMDS): Improvement, Verification, and Device Fabrication
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
This paper presents a review of the Computer-Aided Microwave Design System (CAMDS) as originally developed by Divya Bais. Its goal was to deal with microwave design and analysis problems presented in standard textbooks ...
Quality Improvement of Soymilk Processed from Two Soybean Varieties
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Five soymilk quality-related characteristics were investigated as affected by different grinding, heating, extraction methods and varieties. The five characteristics are (1) protein and solid recovery, (2) trypsin inhibitor ...
