Extending the Diffusion Model in Risk Communication: A Case Study of Risk in a Public Health Campaign
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Everett Rogers' (2003) diffusion model provided a theoretical framework through which to
measure change among publics. However, use of Rogers' diffusion model can lead to
research shortcomings such as lack of consequence ...
NDSU Faculty Turnover Study
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the reasons behind faculty turnover
from North Dakota State University (NDSU). A list of 45 faculty members who left
NDSU between May of 2008 and March of2010 was ...
Influence of Adjacent Uplands and Groundwater on the Hydrology and Invertebrate Community Composition of Seasonal Forest Ponds in North Central Minnesota
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Seasonal ponds are common throughout northern Minnesota's forested
areas. Seasonal ponds typically flood due to snow-melt and high precipitation
rates in early spring, then dry by mid-late summer. The dynamic hydroperiods ...
Computational Simulation of Droplets Wetting on Micro and Nano Filaments
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
In this thesis, wetting properties of liquid droplets on micro and nano filaments were
explored. First, droplet-on-filament systems were considered, made of liquid droplets and
wetting between parallel filaments of ...
Resource and Bandwidth Allocation in Hybrid Wireless Mobile Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
In the lead up to the implementation of 802.16 and 4G wireless networks,
there have been many proposals for addition of multi-hop MANET zones or relay
stations in order to cut the cost of building a new backbone ...
Causes of Construction Delays for High Rise Buildings: a Quantitative Comparison between the USA and India
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
High rise buildings are complex, high risk, and multi-contractor projects which
make them prone to construction delays. Delays can lead to time overrun, affect the total
project duration and the total cost, and could ...
eTablaTutor - The Electronic Tabla Leaming Game
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Tabla is a percussion instrument widely used in Indian classical music both as a
solo instrument and as an accompaniment to vocal or instrumental music. Learning Tabla,
like learning any musical instrument, is very much ...
Optimization of Mobile Sensor Movement in Self-Healing Sensor Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This paper moves forward the key idea as proposed in past research works
- a self-healing deployment approach for sensor networks, where a small
percentage of mobile sensors are deployed along with the static sensors
into ...
Teaching Encryption: A Learning Theory Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Bloom's taxonomy for cognitive domain is an effective taxonomy for structured
learning. The six levels in Bloom's taxonomy for cognitive domain are based on the levels
of difficulty. This paper focuses on teaching ...
Parametric Investigation of a Dielectric Barrier Dishcarge Plasma Actuator
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator is considered an effective
flow control device in various aerospace applications such as drag control, lift control, and
stall control. The DBD plasma actuator has ...
