Iron Nanoparticles and Biopolymers for Plant Nutrient Fortification
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Novel iron (Fe) cross-linked alginate (FCA) beads were used for aqueous phosphate removal. Batch experiments were conducted with the beads using three different concentrations of phosphate (5, 50 and 100 mg PO43--P/L) as ...
Essays on Land Conversion, Crop Acreage Response, and Adoption of Conservation Practices: Evidence from the Dakota's
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This research is composed of three essays. It highlights the driving factors of land conversion and crop acreage response focusing on North Dakota agriculture and estimates the benefits of conservation land measures at ...
Use of Biopolymer Entrapped Sulfate Reducing Bacteria and Metal Nanoparticles for Effective Aqueous Sulfate Removal
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) isolated from activated sludge were used to investigate sulfate removal from aqueous solution using calcium alginate entrapped SRB in batch studies with ethanol and lactose as the carbon ...
Phosphate Removal and Recovery Using Iron Nanoparticles and Iron Cross-Linked Biopolymer
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) particles and iron cross-linked alginate (FCA) beads were successfully used for the first time for phosphate removal and recovery. NZVI was successfully used for phosphate removal and ...
Crop Acreage Response Modeling in North Dakota and Greater Midwest
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Our research consists of two papers. First paper focus on the trend of North Dakota (ND) crop acreage changes and include economic factors (expected prices of crops, input price, crop yield, revenue of crops) and climate ...
Northern Leopard Frogs in North Dakota: Assessing the Conservation Status of a Widespread Amphibian Species
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
North Dakota’s midcontinent location within the Prairie Pothole Region is widely known
for the dense wetlands. These highly productive wetlands are mixed within an agricultural
mosaic which places increased pressure on ...
Multi-Element Fingerprinting of Wetland Soil for Rapid Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Wetland functions and conditions are determined by hydrologic, soil physiochemical, and biotic states. Information obtained from soil analysis can convey wetland history due to hydrologic regime, soil chemical changes, ...
In Vitro Enrichment of Phosphorylated Proteins From Synchronously Excysted Cryptosporidium Parvum
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Cryptosporidium is an enteric protozoan parasite that causes cryptosporidiosis and there is no effective drug treatment available. Two studies were conducted. In the first, a novel protocol was developed for the rapid in ...
Morphological Differences and Diversity of Small Mammal Species
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Small mammals play important roles in ecosystems, but are often overlooked due to their small size and plentiful abundance. Two studies evaluated the morphological differences and diversity of small mammal species based ...
Examination of the Period of Preparation for Breeding in Male and Female Songbirds
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
In virtually all species, reproduction must be precisely timed to coordinate breeding and rearing of offspring with favorable conditions. It is imperative for individuals to time the highest energetic cost to themselves ...
