A market oriented approach to energy conservation identifying disadvantaged families as target groups for energy assistance programs

Creator:: Marganus, Martin
Abstract:: Energy expenditures, perceived family well being, and energy conservation actions were analyzed by family composition and level of income. Data were from a three state subsample (Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon; N = 2,633) of a larger stratified random sample of households in the Western United States. Data were collected in...

Succession and stability in two rocky intertidal communities on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: Farrell, Terence M.
Abstract:: The stability of a limpet-dominated community was assessed in a experiment in which an consumer was temporarily removed. Compared to unmanipulated plots, the limpet-exclusion plots developed greater algal abundance and altered species composition of both algae and barnacles. The community was not perturbed beyond its capacity to recover, since the...

Diagnostic tools for overdispersion in generalized linear models

Creator:: Ganio-Gibbons, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Data in the form of counts or proportions often exhibit more variability than that predicted by a Poisson or binomial distribution. Many different models have been proposed to account for extra-Poisson or extra-binomial variation. A simple model includes a single heterogeneity factor (dispersion parameter) in the variance. Other models that...

Behavioral ecology of marbled murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) in forest and marine ecosystems of Oregon

Creator:: Jodice, Patrick G. R., 1961-
Abstract:: Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) are threatened seabirds that are prone to disturbance both at sea and at old-growth forest nesting areas. I examined murrelet behavior and activity patterns in forest and marine ecosystems of Oregon. Diving behavior was studied during the 1995 and 1996 breeding seasons and was compared to...

Pharmacokinetic analysis of antimicrobials in llamas with theoretical applications

Selecting donor inbred lines for enhancing the performance of single-cross hybrids from key heterotic groups of oilseed sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Creator:: Cheres, Mercy Tuiya
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Bottom-up and top-down forces in tidepools : the influence of nutrients, herbivores, and wave exposure on community structure

Creator:: Nielsen, Karina Johanna
Abstract:: The relationship between nutrients and community structure is poorly understood in open-coast habitats. I created a system of artificial tidepools, of identical age and physical dimensions, at two sites that differed in wave exposure, and manipulated nutrient levels and the abundance of herbivores. Using these unique field mesocosms, I explored...

F-tests in partially balanced and unbalanced mixed linear models

Creator:: Utlaut, Theresa L.
Abstract:: This dissertation considers two approaches for testing hypotheses in unbalanced mixed linear models. The first approach is to construct a design with some type of structure or "partial" balance, so that some of the optimal properties of a completely balanced design hold. It is shown that for a particular type...

Tools for environmental statistics : creative visualization and estimating variance from complex surveys

Creator:: Courbois, Jean-Yves Pip
Abstract:: Environmental monitoring poses two challenges to statistical analysis: complex data and complex survey designs. Monitoring for system health involves measuring physical, chemical, and biological properties that have complex relations. Exploring these relations is an integral part of understanding how systems are changing under stress. How does one explore high dimensional...
