Inocybe praetervisa group – A clade of four closely related species with partly different geographical distribution ranges in Europe
(2018-07)Sequence data from a broad geographical region and different habitats show that the Inocybe praetervisa clade is comprised of four closely related species. These species of section Marginatae are characterized by having ... -
Nutrient Sources and Harvest Frequencies Impact Water Stable Soil Macro-Aggregates
(2018-12)We evaluated the effects of nutrient sources [cattle manure, poultry litter, urea, chemical fertilizers [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)], inter-seeded crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.), and a control], ... -
Scorched Earth: Suillus colonization of Pinus albicaulis seedlings planted in wildfire-impacted soil affects seedling biomass, foliar nutrient content, and isotope signatures
(2018-04)Aims In western North America ectomycorrhizal fungi are critical to establishment of conifers in low nitrogen soils. Fire can affect both ectomycorrhizal fungi and soil properties, and inoculation with ectomycorrhizal ... -
Preliminary integrative guidelines for aromatherapy: a tool for healthcare providers
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Nursing, 2018)Aromatherapy has a long history of use for medicinal purposes. In recent years, aromatherapy has increased in popularity among the general public yet many healthcare providers are unsure of its efficacy and safety. Although ... -
Taking creative risks in the high school writing center: how secondary writing centers foster the development of risk taking that ultimately leads to creative agency in high school student writers
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2018)This thesis explores how high school writing centers foster the development of risk taking that ultimately leads to creative agency in high school students, which, I argue, works in opposition to the current neoliberal ... -
Double secret probation, bias, and equity: a university conduct review
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2018)Bias issues in this country are real. Individuals are not treated equally and equitably because of their identities, their values, and their choices. This bias happens in places of employment, in the criminal justice system, ... -
Deep Now & The Seed Bank Project
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2018)The Deep Now & The Seed Bank Project critically examines flaws in Western Society's tendency towards singular perceptual and singular analytical ways of constructing reality. The exhibition is built from cultural signifiers ... -
On a heuristic point of view concerning social media news and secondary teachers
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2018)Certain cues used by a consumer of news can trigger heuristics that help determine whether information is credible (Metzger, 2007; Sundar, Knobloch?Westerwick, & Hastall, 2007). This study addresses which cues secondary ... -
The wild hunt for Norway: Peter Nicolai Arbo and artistic hybridity in the nineteenth century
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2018)Norwegian artist and historian Peter Nicolai Arbo created Asgardsreien or The Wild Hunt of Odin in 1872, while on a sabbatical in Paris, France, under the influence of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Before his travel to Paris, ... -
Locating the ancient of days: appropriation and syncretism in the development of a Byzantine christological motif
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2018)Constantinople, capital city of the Byzantine Empire established by Constantine in the fourth century, carried the economic, military, and multicultural advantages of a city that had already existed as a desirable settlement ... -
Cost-effective strategies to minimize heart failure readmission rates
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Nursing, 2018)The purpose of this project was to identify and analyze the potential costs and benefits associated with the inclusion of a certified heart-failure nurse responsible for inpatient education and outpatient follow-up services ... -
An investigation of a prefabricated steel truss girder bridge with a composite concrete deck
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2018)Steel truss girder bridges are an efficient and aesthetic option for highway crossings. Their relatively light weight compared with steel plate girder systems make them a desirable alternative for both material savings and ... -
Hyper-spectral microscope: auto-focusing
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2018)This thesis is part of a larger project to develop a hyper-spectral microscope, to be used to find the optimal growing conditions for human inducible pluripotent stem cells. The hyper-spectral microscope is being developed ... -
Eccentric compact binaries: modeling the inspiral and gravitational wave emission
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2018)The modeling of the inpsiral and subsequent gravitational wave emission from black hole binary systems has been a long outstanding problem in astrophysics and relativity. Astrophysical models predict that most binaries ... -
Characterization of the primary instability on atomizing jets using dynamic mode decomposition
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2018)Numerical methods have advanced to the point that many groups can perform detailed numerical simulations of atomizing liquid jets and replicate experimental measurements. However, the simulation results have not lead to a ... -
Influence of orifice plate shape on condenser unit effectiveness
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2018)In both residential and commercial buildings, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) is the largest consumer of energy. The HVAC industry works to consistently reduce their energy consumption in order to lower ... -
Price relationships in the U.S. nitrogen fertilizer industry
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2018)This study estimates the price dynamics in the U.S. nitrogen fertilizer industry, measures information flow efficiency in spatially separated fertilizer markets, and measures to what extent structural changes in corn and ... -
Using semi-supervised learning for predicting metamorphic relations
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2018)Software testing is difficult to automate, especially in programs which face the oracle problem, where an oracle does not exist, or is too hard to develop. Metamorphic testing is a solution to this problem. Metamorphic ... -
Determination of elastic constants for geosynthetics using in-air biaxial tension tests
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 2018)Geosynthetics are polymeric membranes used for structural reinforcement for many geotechnical applications such as reinforced pavement. Geosynthetics have been shown to increase the service life of roadways in a variety ...
