Herbicide Screening In Industrial Hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) Production, Joseph Eric Mettler Jan 2021

Herbicide Screening In Industrial Hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) Production, Joseph Eric Mettler

Plant Sciences

Lack of labeled herbicides for industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) production in the U.S. accentuates urgency to identify herbicides for weed control. Weed competition reduced seed yield by 25 to 32%. Pre- and post-emergence herbicide experiments were conducted to evaluate hemp tolerance to herbicides and support efforts for herbicide registrations. For post-emergence herbicides, hemp response to clopyralid (105 g ae ha-1) and bromoxynil (280 g ae ha-1) exhibited the lowest phytotoxicity, up to 38%, with no reduction of yield compared with the hand-weeded check. Pre-emergence herbicides were more viable options because pendimethalin (1120 g ai ha-1), trifluralin (840 g ai …

Abstract Background Diabetes related foot complications are increasing in complexity, frequency and cost. The application of self-management strategies can reduce the risk of individuals developing foot complications. The type, range and nature of the literature focusing on interventions that support patients with diabetic foot self-management is unknown. This scoping review aimed to i) identify self-management actions and risky behaviour avoidance strategies within interventions, ii) map the theoretical functions through which these behaviour change interventions have an effect, iii) display gaps in the research. Methodology Arksey and Malley’s (2003) 5 stage framework was followed to conduct the scoping study. This methodological …


Enzymatic Approach To Improve Tensile, Freeness And Brightness, Yao Ntifafa Jan 2021

Enzymatic Approach To Improve Tensile, Freeness And Brightness, Yao Ntifafa

Theses and Dissertations

Weak tensile strength is usually source of web breaks on paper machines and converting machines. Web break, in general, is due to poor hydrogen bonding between the fibers. Web break which is ultimately a downtime and a waste can be reduced through enzymatic approach. In order to increase the tensile strength of the paper, it necessary to determine the amount and the conditions in which the enzymes yield a better sheet strength.A central composite design approach, using dosage, time and temperature as factors, was used to study the effects of the enzymes on the sheet strength; the pulp used is …

The COVID-19 pandemic created new challenges for children including access to education and limiting social and emotional connections to extended family, friends, and the community. Globally, opportunities for sharing children’s self-reported experiences during lockdown were limited. The primary aim of this project was to create an art-E-Book that reflects children’s experiences of life during the COVID-19 pandemic that could be shared with other children around the world. Secondly, we wanted to reflect on the consultation undertaken within the International Network of Child and Family Centered Care (INCFCC) using Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle framework. Children from around the world were invited …

Facing Up To Climate Change: Community Composition Varies With Aspect And Surface Temperature In The Rocky Intertidal, A. Amstutz, L. B. Firth, J. I. Spicer, M. E. Hanley

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Marine rocky intertidal organisms are amongst those most affected by climate change with regional distributional changes observed for many species. Although often ascribed to increased sea surface temperatures, precise assessment of the local habitat conditions underpinning observed and predicted changes in community assembly is lacking. Here we examine how aspect (i.e. north-south orientation) affects intertidal community composition and how rock surface temperatures and stress responses of two dominant grazer species (Patella spp.) elucidate emergent differences. We quantified year-round temperature variation and surveyed intertidal community composition on paired natural rock gullies with Equator- (EF) and Pole-facing (PF) surfaces. We also investigated …


Cover Crops Benefits, Nitrogen Credits, And Yield Effects In Maize And Sugarbeet In The Northern Great Plains, Sergio Cabello Leiva Jan 2021

Cover Crops Benefits, Nitrogen Credits, And Yield Effects In Maize And Sugarbeet In The Northern Great Plains, Sergio Cabello Leiva

Plant Sciences

Fall-seeded cover crops (CC) provide soil coverage that prevents soil erosion and reduces NO3-N leaching. It is believed N accumulated in CC biomass is available to the next crop. The main objective of this research is to determine if N in the CC biomass provides N to the next crop of maize (Zea mays L.) and sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.). Two experiments were conducted in Hickson and Prosper, ND from 2017-2019. Maize grain yield and quality and sugarbeet root yield and chemical composition of the root were evaluated after fall-seeded cover crops. Fall biomass was greater in radish (Raphanus sativus …

Women Lawyers For Social Causes, Frank W. Munger, Peerawich Thoviriyavej, Vorapitchaya Rabiablok

Articles & Chapters

Women lawyers are increasing seen among the leading legal defenders of human rights and social movements in Thailand. Increasing visibility is partly a result of news coverage and social media, but women lawyers activism has far older roots. In this article, we examine two related processes of change that contribute to women’s emergence as leading social cause practitioners. First, we discuss the relationship between Thailand’s legal system and its social and political development since the end of the nineteenth century. Second, we employ career narratives of three women lawyers with innovative practices for social causes as a lens through which …

Lattice-Based Technique To Visualize And Compare Regional Terrorism Using The Global Terrorism Database, Linda Markowsky, George Markowsky Jan 2021

Lattice-Based Technique To Visualize And Compare Regional Terrorism Using The Global Terrorism Database, Linda Markowsky, George Markowsky

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Order-theoretic lattices and their visualizations are proposed as a means of exploring and analyzing databases. The max-complete lattice is formed and the significance of lattice nodes and of the top node are demonstrated. These novel visualizations serve as a useful complement to well-known charting techniques such as bar charts and may extend the knowledge gained from critical databases. The Carver2 dataset is used as an illustrative example, highlighting the formation of the max-complete lattice from the original dataset and the computational advantage provided by compressing the lattice using only its irreducible elements. Regional information from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), …

Improving Lossy Compression For Sz By Exploring The Best-Fit Lossless Compression Techniques, Jinyang Liu, Sihuan Li, Sheng Di, Xin Liang, Kai Zhao, Dingwen Tao, Zizhong Chen, Franck Cappello

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

In the past decades, various lossy compressors have been studied broadly due to the ever-increasing volume of data being produced by today's scientific applications. SZ has been one of the best error-bounded lossy compressors ever raised, and it has a flexible framework that includes four adjustable steps: prediction, quantization, variable-length encoding, and lossless compression. In this paper, we improve the lossy compression performances of the SZ compression model by exploring different existing lossless compression techniques using the Squash data compression benchmark. Specifically, we first characterize the bytes outputted by the first three steps in SZ, then we investigate the best …

Connectionless Edge-Cache Servers For Reducing Cellular Bandwidth Usage In Vehicular Networks, Rui Wang, Jayanthi Rao, Ce Zhou, Subir Biswas Jan 2021

Connectionless Edge-Cache Servers For Reducing Cellular Bandwidth Usage In Vehicular Networks, Rui Wang, Jayanthi Rao, Ce Zhou, Subir Biswas

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents a novel caching mechanism based on Connectionless Edge Cache Servers in vehicular networks. The goal is to intelligently cache content within the vehicles and the edge servers so that majority of the vehiclerequested content can be obtained from those caches, thus minimizing the amount of cellular network usage needed for fetching content from a central server. A notable feature of the cache servers in this work is that they do not have backhaul connectivity. This makes the connectionless servers to be relatively less expensive compared to the usual Roadside Service Units (RSUs), and potentially moveable in response …

Listening To Other Voices: Moving Beyond Traditional Mission Histories- A Case Study From El Salvador, Robert A. Danielson, Kelly J. Godoy De Danielson Jan 2021

Listening To Other Voices: Moving Beyond Traditional Mission Histories- A Case Study From El Salvador, Robert A. Danielson, Kelly J. Godoy De Danielson

The Asbury Journal

For the most part, mission history has focused on the work and effort of missionaries and not as much on the missionized, those people and communities they assisted. this is a flaw in the field which needs to be corrected, but how do we accomplish this? This article proposes a two-step process. First, by closely reading the traditional histories and the primary documents, we can emphasize and highlight the roles and voices of the missionized. Second, by using oral history interviews we can capture essential thoughts and attitudes of missionized people and communities about their mission experience. This dual approach …
