Moisture Sensitivity of PLA/PBS Blends During Ultrasonic Welding and Fused Deposition Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Moisture absorption into hygroscopic/hydrophilic materials used in fused deposition modeling (FDM) and ultrasonic welding (USW) can diminish desired mechanical properties. Sensitivity to moisture is dependent on material ...
Environmental Factors Influencing Tumor Associated Pericyte Phenotype in Pancreatic Cancer
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. with a 5-year survival rate of 11%. PDAC patients suffer from the lack of effective treatment options largely due to the limited ...
The Role of the County Emergency Manager in Disaster Mitigation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Scholarship on disasters in the United States would suggest that emergency managers
should play a role in hazard mitigation. Yet, little empirical research has investigated precisely what role or roles emergency managers ...
Evaluating the Safety and Mobility of the Cumulative-Anticipative Car-Following Model for Connected Autonomous Vehicles
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The advancements of vehicle automation are progressively improving resulting in safer driving environments in addition to more efficient mobility and fuel cost savings. However, autonomous and connected autonomous vehicles ...
Study of New Functionalized Nanomaterials for Non-Invasive Point-of-Care Biosensor Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Early disease detection and in-time health monitoring via novel sensing systems is highly demanded for modern medicine and health management. Recent development in nanotechnology and nanomaterials such as functionalized ...
Lignin and Cellulose Nanofibers Enhanced Corn-Based Thermoplastic Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The goal of this project is to develop biobased thermoplastics and composites using corn as the main raw material. Corn contains mainly starch, zein, and oil. Thermoplastic starch/zein blends were prepared through internal ...
The Development and Dissemination of the Collaborative Piano Program from the United States to China
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
For over 71 years, the collaborative piano major has been one of the most important music performance programs at American universities and conservatories, such as the University of Southern California, the Julliard School ...
Detection of Two-Dimensional Internal Cracks in Concrete Using Point Strain Sensors
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Tensile cracking in the concrete can destroy the structural frame since it induces water penetration in structure and foundation. For instance, in concrete pavements, cracking increases the potential for pavement distress, ...
Influence of Paste Quality Constituents on Drying Shrinkage
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The paste system of concrete materials often holds the “DNA” to understanding their potential mechanical properties. As drying shrinkage and related cracking remains a top concern for the service life of concrete, this ...
Experimental Study of Effects of Leading-Edge Structures on the Dynamic Stall of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Airfoil
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Vertical axis wind turbine, developed as one of the main methods to utilize the wind energy, has a promising future; however, the major issue to limit its performance is the uneven loading on the blade during operation. ...
