The Decomposition Ecology and Microbial Forensics of the Postmortem Microbiome
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Every living organism dies and is decomposed into nutrients and by-products. This is lead initially by the normal flora of the newly deceased host. The postmortem microbiome, so-called “necrobiome”, undergoes temporal ...
Understanding the Relationship Between Weather Variables, Dry Matter Intake, and Average Daily Gain of Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The current National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) dry matter intake (DMI) prediction models are inadequate for DMI prediction of beef cattle in the Northern Great Plains. Four studies were conducted ...
Rice Variety Choice and Subsidy Effects on Market Share
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The United States has been losing market share because the unintended consequences of policy decisions have influenced what rice to grow, rather than taking the signal directly from buyers. U.S. share of Mexican rice imports ...

(North Dakota State University, 2021)
With the development of the economy, the real estate industry has increasingly become a major component of China's national economic growth. In this paper, I use a house sales transaction dataset collected from a publicly ...
Nitrogen Uptake Effects on Potato Yield and Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Nitrogen (N) is one of the vital elements for potato production. As well as common synthetic fertilizers, turkey manure compost (TMC) is more commonly used as a source of N for potato production in Minnesota. The aim of ...
Conceptual Cost Estimation of Highway Bid Items Using Geostatistical Interpolation
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Challenges associated with ensuring the accuracy and reliability of cost estimation of highway bid items, especially during the conceptual phase of a project, are of significant interest to state highway agencies. Even ...
Evaluation of the Causative Factors for Slope Failures in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
A large number of landslides with damage to roads and utilities, destruction of property, and flood risks were encountered in North Dakota (ND). Using a correlation matrix, causative factors such as soil salinity, land ...
Comparative Analysis of Interface Usability for Cybersecurity Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
In cybersecurity, understanding the technologies and the best ways to interface with them is paramount for staying ahead of growing cyberthreats. Developers of cybersecurity software will benefit greatly from a greater ...
Mining Approximate Frequent Dense Modules from Multiple Gene Expression Datasets
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Large amount of gene expression data has been collected for various environmental and biological conditions. Extracting dense modules that are recurrent in multiple gene coexpression networks has been shown to be promising ...
Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Composites Manufactured by Stereolithography
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The effectiveness of manufacturing short glass fiber composites using stereolithography (SLA) was investigated. Modifications were made to a standard SLA printer to induce a flow field through the resin tank. In this study ...
