OBJECTIVE The North Dakota Legislature recently passed a law exempting the state's agricultural truck fleet from a federal safety program requirement for rear-guard equipment on large trucks. This equipment has been shown to reduce crash severity when a passenger vehicle collides with the rear of the truck. This study uses truck fleet, truck crash, and injury severity data to estimate the publi...

In 2002 the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture has established the national genome programme GEN-AU (GENome Research in AUstria: http://www.gen-au.at/). The first call has brought together a broad spectrum of Austrian scientists (coordinator GA) focussing on the Fusarium problem. We proposed (as one part) that Austria should contribute 25% of the costs of sequencing th...

To gain perspective on alfalfa-annual crop rotations in the upper Midwest, USDA-National Agricultural Statistics Service cropland data layers and Soil Survey Geographic Database layers were combined for six states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin) and seven years (2006-2012). Soil texture and geographic location both significantly affected the length of the ...

This paper describes a conceptual framework for learning effectiveness emphasizing hybrid distance delivery for Information Systems (IS) courses. The framework is then applied to the Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) program at Dakota State University.

Duerre, John A. (University of North Dakota, Grand Forks), and Patrick J. Buckley. Pigment production from tryptophan by an Achromobacter species. J. Bacteriol. 90:1686-1691. 1965.-A microorganism was isolated from the soil near the University of North Dakota. Biochemical and morphological characteristics indicated that this organism would best be classified as a member of the family Achromobac...

A potential application of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is to monitor crop yields over large areas. The study concentrated on the spring Mheat areas of North Dakota and South Dakota for several years (1989-1992). The NOAA AVHRR data was carefully analyzed to minimize processing and sampling errors. Sums of biweekly NDVI county averages over an eight week period from heading...
