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 ...
Agricultural Field Applications of Digital Image Processing Using an Open Source ImageJ Platform
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Digital image processing is one of the potential technologies used in precision agriculture to gather information, such as seed emergence, plant health, and phenology from the digital images. Despite its potential, the ...
Identification of Weed Species and Glyphosate-Resistant Weeds Using High Resolution UAS Images
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Adoption of a Site-Specific Weed Management System (SSWMS) can contribute to sustainable agriculture. Weed mapping is a crucial step in SSWMS, leads to saving herbicides and protecting environment by preventing repeated ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Application of Nanoparticles in Livestock Manure for Understanding Hydrogen Sulfide and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Mechanism
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The agricultural sector is one of the sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission, especially methane (CH4), and contributing approximately 250 million metric ton carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emission per year. Almost ...
Design and Development of an Automatic Steering System for Agricultural Towed Implements
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
While an auto steered tractor can improve the overall accuracy and efficiency of an operation, for operations that involve towing an implement, a significant portion of the efficiency reduction comes from uncontrolled ...
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 ...
