Fluorescence Spectrometry to Quantify Percent Wood Failure in Adhesive Bonds

Creator:: Rueppel, Talbot B.
Abstract:: Structural engineered wood manufacturers need a quantitative measurement technique to determine the ratio of wood to adhesive failure in their shear specimens. Visual estimation of percent wood failure has long stood as an extremely subjective quality control approach according to ASTM D5266 – Standard Practice for Estimating the Percentage of...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Assessment of Timber Fallers’ Working Conditions in Mixed Tether-assist Timber Harvesting Operations

Creator:: Pokharel, Mandira
Abstract:: With mechanization, the logging industry has experienced a decreasing trend in the total number of workplace accidents, especially as new technology is making harvesting safer. However, there are areas within harvest units such as extremely steep slopes or rocky outcrops that are inaccessible to machines and are required to be...

Neurostatistical Mapping: A Review and Unique Application Proposal, Exploration

Creator:: Haffner, Michael L.
Abstract:: Advancements in neurological data capturing and mapping have provided scientists with exponentially more information, allowing for more detailed analysis of neurological behaviors and their translations to cognitive, emotional, and physical function. Inspired by the diffculty in diagnosing brain damage, this project seeks to leverage statistical modeling with EEG data to...

Limiting Behavior of Stochastic Processes Involving Martingale Structures

Creator:: Mukherjee, Arpita
Abstract:: A stochastic process is given by a family of random variables indexed by elements of a set. We have considered stochastic processes of three different types, each involving an associated martingale structure. Martingale is a sequence of random variables for which the conditional expectation at a certain time point given...

Music Generation and Evaluation Using R

Creator:: Lanz, Andrea L.
Abstract:: The main goal of this project is to implement an algorithmic music composition procedure and present all procedures and results in a reproducible fashion by creating a web application produced by R. To approach the implementation of the algorithmic composition of music, we start by exploring various models, but ultimately...

Special Nuclear Material Classification and Mass Content Estimation Using Temporal Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Methods

Creator:: Curtis, Jessica R.
Abstract:: Improving the methods used for the detection and estimation of fissile material mass content is essential to nuclear security and safeguards to ensure special nuclear material (SNM) accountability, control, safety and security. With the continued expansion of the nuclear industry and the need for safe management of spent fuel, improving...

Microsatellite Marker Development, Characterization, and Mapping and Investigation of New Sources of Resistance to Eastern Filbert Blight (EFB) in European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana)

Creator:: Sekerli, Merve
Abstract:: European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an important crop in the Pacific Northwest where around 5% of the world's hazelnuts are produced. Hazelnut production in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala. Host resistance is a useful strategy to control disease,...

Simulating Effects of Genetic Tree Improvement on Growth and Yield of Coastal Douglas-fir

Creator:: Joo, Sukhyun
Abstract:: Estimating volume gains in genetically improved stands at rotation age is challenging because first-generation progeny tests in Douglas-fir were typically established to measure the relative growth performance of individual trees from open-pollinated parent trees. The overall goal of this dissertation research was to improve growth simulation of genetically improved Douglas-fir...

Modeling Forest Response to Changing Climate Conditions in Western North America

Creator:: Hawkins, Linnia R.
Abstract:: Forests play an integral role in the global carbon cycle, regulating the atmospheric CO₂ concentration by sequestering nearly one third of anthropogenic carbon emissions and storing carbon for centuries. Forest ecosystems are integrated into the culture, ecology, and economy of western North America, supporting wildlife habitat, local economies, recreation, and...

An Overview of Multivariate Regression Analysis of Biological Data

Creator:: DeHart, Christopher M.
Abstract:: This study investigates methods of multivariate regression analysis and their applications to biological data. It provides an overview of methods of reduced rank regression and sparse multivariate regression, including their motivations, methods, and applications. It also implements a form of sparse regression known as Regularized Multivariate Regression for Identifying Master...
