Examining Footwear Wear Patterns for Injury Prevention

Creator:: Westbrook, Alec R.
Abstract:: Tracking footwear wear patterns is vital to the footwear industry. In the game of tennis, there are several court surfaces that produce unique wear patterns on footwear that are constantly changing according to the following factors: level of competition, level of experience, coordination, age, height, weight, and more. By tracking...

A Generalized Scheme for Creating Regge Calculus Models of General Relativity

Creator:: Hanson, Ben R.
Abstract:: Solutions to Einstein's equations are usually found by considering ideal, simplified models. However, if the real world always matched ideal physics models, then farmers would milk black and white spheres. To combat this, Regge calculus was developed as a numerical approximation scheme for general relativity. In Regge calculus curved manifolds...

How imperfect can land sparing be before land sharing is more favourable for wild species?

Creator:: Balmford, Ben, Green, Rhys E., Onial, Malvika, Phalan, Ben, and Balmford, Andrew
Abstract:: Two solutions, at opposite ends of a continuum, have been proposed to limit negative impacts of human agricultural demand on biodiversity. Under land sharing, farmed landscapes are made as beneficial to wild species as possible, usually at the cost of lower yields. Under land sparing, yields are maximised and land...

Banks, Gardens and Bees: Enhancing Community Resilience in West Africa

Creator:: Polasky, Sophia
Abstract:: International development programs are often implemented with the goal of building community resilience, but without a clear articulation of how this goal will be met, or any consideration of if or why the effort was successful after it has concluded. This thesis considers three different activities implemented by the U....

Geomorphic Evidence for Differential Rock Uplift Across the Southern Cascadia Forearc

Creator:: von Dassow, Wesley
Abstract:: The nature of upper plate deformation along the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is poorly understood. Systematic covariation among topographic relief, geodetically determined uplift rates, decadal to millennial erosion rates, and the frequency of episodic tremor and slip (ETS) along the Cascadia forearc suggest a genetic association between forearc topography and...

A Dysfunctional System: Policy Recommendations for the Adult (18-65) Homeless and Severely Mentally Ill Population in Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Donielle F.
Abstract:: Adults with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) are overrepresented in the homeless population, and Oregon’s homeless population has expanded in recent years. In the 1950s, the mentally ill were moved out of the state hospitals and into the community. However, due to a lack of support services in the...

Resilience and resistance in sagebrush ecosystems are associated with seasonal soil temperature and water availability

Creator:: Roundy, Bruce A., Chambers, Jeanne C., Pyke, David A., Miller, Richard F., Tausch, Robin J., Schupp, Eugene W., Rau, Ben, and Gruell, Trevor
Abstract:: Invasion and dominance of exotic grasses and increased fire frequency threaten native ecosystems worldwide. In the Great Basin region of the western United States, woody and herbaceous fuel treatments are implemented to decrease the effects of wildfire and increase sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystem resilience to disturbance and resistance to exotic...

Chemical Solution Deposition and in-situ Structural Characterization of Pb-free, Bi-based, Piezoelectric Thin Films

Creator:: Fox, Austin J.
Abstract:: This work explores the electric field induced strain mechanisms in environmentally benign Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based piezoelectric thin films. Although BNT-based materials show promise as replacements for toxic Pb-based piezoelectrics, the displacement mechanisms are not consistent between thin films and bulk materials, and the differences have yet to be well understood....

The Evolution of Scleractinian Microbial Symbionts

Creator:: McMinds, Ryan C.
Abstract:: The modern world has presented many threats to the health and stability of ecosystems worldwide. One of the most biodiverse ecosystems, coral reefs, faces particularly strong pressures, and is already declining rapidly in complexity and area. Although the stressors that affect reefs are diverse, ranging from nutrient pollution to overfishing,...

Sound and Vibration Analysis of Alternative Rumble Strips

Creator:: Horne, Dylan Ross
Abstract:: Roadway departure crashes accounted for 18,275 fatal crashes in 2017 across the United States (Jones et al. 2017). Rumble strips (RS) provide audible and haptic interior alert when a vehicle is departing the roadway reducing run-off-the road crashes. Although inexpensive to install, and easy to maintain, RS are not installed...
