Evaluation of Different Techniques to Control Hydrogen Sulfide and Greenhouse Gases from Animal Production Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The livestock manure management sector is one of the prime sources for the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutant gases such as ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which may affect the human health, ...
Machine Vision Methods for Evaluating Plant Stand Count and Weed Classification Using Open-Source Platforms
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Evaluating plant stand count or classifying weeds by manual scouting is time-consuming, laborious, and subject to human errors. Proximal remote sensed imagery used in conjunction with machine vision algorithms can be used ...
Hull Fiber from DDGS and Corn Grain as Alternative Fillers in Polymer Composites with High Density Polyethylene
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The steady increase in corn based ethanol production has resulted in a dramatic rise in the supply of its co-product known as distillers’ dried grain with solubles (DDGS). Currently, the main outlet for DDGS is the animal ...
Process Benefits of Using Biomass Pellets in a Biorefinery
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Pelleted biomass can help simplify biomass supply systems and reduce downstream processing costs that are vital for the development of commercial biorefineries. This study is based on comparison of process benefits and ...
Use of Digital Imagery to Evaluate the Relationship Between NDVI and Crop Production Field Data at Stutsman County, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Remote sensing techniques using near infrared band and experimental field data has been already applied on experimental field conditions. However, actual field conditions can be different than experimental plots. This study ...
Treatment of Industrial Wastewater Derived Organic Pollutants Using Electrochemical Methods Through Optimization of Operation Parameters.
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Industrial operations produce a notable amount of wastewaters with high concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD), mostly consisting of organic carbon compounds. The treatment performance of electrochemical methods for ...
Evaluating Standard Wet Chemistry Techniques and NIR Spectroscopic Models for Determining Composition and Potential Ethanol Yields of Multi-Species Herbaceous Bioenergy Crops
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Herbaceous perennials represent a considerable portion of potential biomass feedstocks available for the growing bioenergy industry. Their chemical composition and biomass yields, which are important in determining ethanol ...
Extracting Carotenoids from Corn Industry Coproducts
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Two experiments were completed to develop methods for extracting xanthophylls from corn industry co-products, post fermentation (PF) corn oil and corn gluten meal (CGM). A solid phase extraction (SPE) method was used to ...
Efficacy and Recovery of Cellulases Immobilized on Polymer Brushes Grafted on Silica Nanoparticles
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Cellulosic biofuels can be more economical if cellulases are recovered and reused.
Cellulase and β-glucosidase were immobilized on poly(acrylic acid) brush particles. Impact of brush enzyme density on efficacy and recovery ...
Implementing High-Throughput Phenotyping at the NDSU Dry Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris l.) Breeding Program Using Unmanned Aerial Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Plant breeding has led to considerable yield gains to several crops. However, it alone might not be able to keep up with the growing demand for food. In this study, data extracted from UAS-collected RGB and multispectral ...
