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 ...
Assessment of Wetland Water Quality and Plant Species Composition across the Rural, Peri-Urban, and Urban Gradient
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The Prairie Pothole Region, specifically eastern North Dakota, has experienced intense disturbance from agricultural demands and urban sprawl. This study assessed wetlands across the rural, peri-urban, and urban gradient ...
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Miocene-Age Glacial Deposits, Friis Hills, Antarctica
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The Friis Hills is an isolated plateau standing as much as 600 m above surrounding topography in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region or Antarctica.Preserved on the plateau surface is a sequence of early to middle Miocene-aged ...
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 ...
Compensation for the Effectiveness of Risk Mitigation Strategies for Fusarium Head Blight(FHB) and Deoxynivalenol(DON)
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Food safety related problems are one of the biggest challenges worldwide. DON is produced by Fusarium species which causes the well-known Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat and barley. FHB outbreaks have led to variability ...
Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Films Dip-Coating by Colloidal Nanocrystals Bilayer Films
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
A wrinkling approach was used to study the mechanics of hybrid nanotube/nanocrystal coatings adhering to soft polymer (PDMS) substrates. We focused on three thicknesses: 10 nm, 30 nm, and 40 nm. The approach we used is the ...
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 ...
Effects of Phylogenetic Tree Style on Student Comprehension
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Phylogenetic trees are powerful tools of evolutionary biology that have become prominent across the life sciences. Consequently, learning to interpret and reason from phylogenetic trees is now an essential component of ...
Propensity Score and Survival Analysis for Lung Cancer
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Propensity scores were used to assess covariate balance between black and white groups in each lung cancer stage of a large data set. Pairwise log rank tests were used to test the equality of survival distribution for ...
