Novel Extensions and New Applications for Nonparametric Self-Exciting Point Processes

Creator:: Boyd, Peter C.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I will demonstrate a novel application of self-exciting point process models to mass shooting data. I will also introduce two adaptations to the traditional nonparametric Hawkes process modeling framework. One such modification allows for the estimation of the additional productivity introduced by an event that is not...

Characterization of pools and reaches with salmonid species in the Alsea and Nestucca Sub-Basins

Creator:: McKinney, Shaun P.
Abstract:: Streams in the Alsea and Nestucca Sub-Basins were characterized using suites of habitat attributes at the pool and reach scales. These suites were analyzed using a multivariate process with the Multiple Response Permutation Procedure (MRPP) to test for differences in groups. There were differences in the suite of habitat variables...

Patterns of nitrogen fluxes in watersheds of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, OR

Creator:: Vanderbilt, Kristin Lynn, 1967-
Abstract:: Seasonal and annual patterns of N fluxes and concentrations in streamwater in six conifer-dominated watersheds at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, OR, were studied to gain insight into the factors that influence N retention in this ecosystem. Processes affecting N flux in streamwater differed between organic (DON) and inorganic (DIN;...

Behavioral responses of Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance

Creator:: Naylor, Leslie M.
Abstract:: I measured responses of free-ranging Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, Oregon from April to October, 2003 and 2004. Resting, feeding, and travel activities of 13 cow elk were recorded at 5-minute intervals using Actiwatch™ motion sensors. Elk were subjected to four...

Spatiotemporal Associations of Abundance and Vital Rates of Co-occurring Small Mammals in a Late Successional Forest

Creator:: Weldy, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Informed conservation of small mammals, ecosystems, and predators requires a detailed understanding of how small mammals species and communities vary in both space and time, as well as the relative cyclicity and synchrony of this variation. This variation can be especially informative to land managers interested in manipulating the abundance...

Development of a problem-based learning classification rubric for community college instruction

Creator:: Knelly, Leah J.
Abstract:: Problem-based learning (PBL) is one type of inquiry-based learning. Many community college instructors use inquiry-based learning as an instructional strategy. There is much literature on the use of problem-based learning in undergraduate, graduate and medical school education, with a multitude of examples of specific techniques and problems to be addressed,...

Drivers of Soil Fungal Communities Across Three Tropical Rainforests in Panama

Creator:: Schappe, Tyler
Abstract:: Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and interact with plant communities in mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal ways. Fungal communities are thought to be influenced by both associated tree communities and soil properties. However, the relative importance of the biotic and abiotic drivers of soil fungal community structure and diversity...

Realized and potential climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in a national forest inventory

Creator:: Smith, Robert J.
Abstract:: Climate and terrestrial vegetation have had mutual feedbacks for nearly five hundred million years, yet both are now departing from recent historical norms, with uncertain implications for forest ecosystems. This dissertation outlines the current and potential future climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in the United States as part...

The land-water interface : patterns of riparian vegetation and channel morphology in the Oregon Coast Range system

Creator:: Takahashi, Mayumi
Abstract:: This study was conducted to describe variation of riparian vegetation in an Oregon Coast Range system according to geomorphic characteristics and in relation to streamflow. Specific objectives of this study were to: I) examine if the vegetation composition and structure of the riparian forest varied among channel-reach morphologies, 2) examine...

Local Climate Zone Classification Using Random Forests

Creator:: Smith, Ericka B.
Abstract:: Objective: The goal of this project is to recreate aspects of the article “Comparison between convolutional neural networks and random forest for local climate zone classification in mega urban areas using Landsat images” (Yoo et al., 2019), where methods for predicting LCZ classes for four large cities throughout the world...
