Optimization of Methane Yield in Solid-State Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Dairy Manure and Corn Stover
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Sole dependence on fossil fuel and the concomitant environmental concerns could be minimized through the optimization of green energy generation from the growing volume of onfarm organic wastes. In this mesophilic study, ... -
Pilot Scale Production, Characterization, and Optimization of Epoxidized Vegetable Oil-Based Resin
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Novel epoxidized sucrose soyate (ESS) resins perform much better than other vegetable oil-based resins; thus, they are of current interest for commercial scale production and for a wide range of applications in coatings ... -
Process Development for Effective, Recoverable and Reusable Magnetic Nanobiocatalysts for Biomass Hydrolysis
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Recovery and reuse of enzymes can reduce the high enzyme costs that are challenging for cellulosic biorefineries. Attaching enzymes to magnetic nanoparticles to make magnetic nanobiocatalysts (MNBCs) can facilitate enzyme ... -
Quality Evaluation of Coated Extra-Large Hulled Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Kernels for Precision Planting
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Domestic and export demand for extra-large (XL) in-shell confectionary sunflower seeds (Helianthus Annuus) growing; however, a significant proportion of the hybrid seed for planting goes to the snack food market because ... -
Rangeland Forage Growth Prediction, Logistics, Energy, and Economics Analysis and Tool Development Using Open-Source Software
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Forage availability was crucial for livestock production across the United States. Rangelands occupied vast areas 31 % of land and were the primary source of forage for livestock. However, extreme climatic conditions such ... -
Snowmelt Water Infiltration into Frozen Soil in Red River of the North Basin
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Infiltration into frozen soils is an important process in the hydrological cycle. Though infiltration occurs at the soil surface, it is affected by many factors, e.g. soil water content, temperature, and hydraulic conductivity. ... -
Soybean Leaf Chlorophyll Estimation and Iron Deficiency Field Rating Determination at Plot and Field Scales Through Image Processing and Machine Learning
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is the most common reason for chlorosis in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) and causes an average yield loss of 120 million dollars per year across 1.8 million ha in the North Central US ... -
Sugarbeet Model Development for Soil and Water Quality Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) is considered as one of the most viable alternatives to corn for biofuel production as it may be qualified as “advanced” biofuel feedstocks under the ‘EISA 2007’. Production of deep rooted sugarbeet ... -
Technical and Economic Assessments of Storage Techniques for Long-term Retention of Industrial-beet Sugar for Non-food Industrial Fermentations
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Industrial beets may compete against corn grain as an important source of sugars for non-food industrial fermentations. However, dependable and energy-efficient systems for beet sugar storage and processing are necessary ... -
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 ... -
Vegetative Filter Strip: A Best Management Practice (Bmp) for Feedlot Runoff Pollution Control in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Runoff from animal feeding operations is a major source of water pollution. Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are effective ways to reduce nonpoint source pollution. In this study, vegetative filter strips with different ...
