Height Modernization from Static GPS Networks in Oregon: Evaluating NGS Guidelines and OPUS-Projects

Creator:: Kerr, Darren J.
Abstract:: Determining accurate elevations is important for many engineering and scientific applications, and finding these heights via GNSS increases efficiency and significantly reduces the costs as compared to precise geodetic leveling. The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has published guidelines for determining both ellipsoidal and orthometric heights with GPS to within 2...

"All the things you ask of me" : Law Enforcement Experiences of Infant Death Investigation

Creator:: Schindell, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: The sudden and unexpected death of a seemingly healthy infant sets in motion a number of linked processes with potentially complex and far-reaching ramifications. While individuals, families and communities grapple with the shock and heartbreak associated with the loss of a young life, a chain of multidisciplinary investigative responsibilities is...

Stratigraphic correlation of seismoturbidites and the integration of sediment cores with 3.5 kHz chirp subbottom data in southern Cascadia

Creator:: Black, Bran
Abstract:: In order to evaluate the shallow stratigraphy along the southern Cascadia abyssal margin and northern California abyssal plain, CHIRP subbottom profiles capable of imaging individual turbidite beds in the upper tens of meters of the subsurface were collected. Reflectors imaged with the 3.5 kHz CHIRP subbottom data represent turbidite beds...

Quantification of landslide movement in a forested environment

Creator:: Conner, Jeremy C.
Abstract:: Landslides are an insidious natural hazard, which can result in significant damage to public infrastructure. Limited monitoring tools are available, particularly tools suitable for use in forested environments. These tools often only allow a few locations across the slide to be monitored. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) shows promise as a...

From pesticide degradation products to legacy toxicants and emerging contaminants : novel analytical methods, approaches, and modeling

Creator:: Forsberg, Norman D.
Abstract:: Environmental toxicologists and public health officials are responsible for assisting in the identification, management, and mitigation of public health hazards. As a result, there is a continued need for robust analytical tools that can aid in the rapid quantification and characterization of chemical exposure. In the first research phase, we...

Assisting decision making in component design for sustainable manufacturing

Creator:: Eastlick, Dane D.
Abstract:: Current life cycle assessment tools are often deficient in assisting design for sustainable manufacturing efforts. Integrating an improved assessment method into a decision support framework will provide a means for designers and engineers to better understand the impacts of their decisions. A unit process modeling-based sustainability assessment method is presented...

Molecular characterization of early osteochondrosis in prepubescent foals

Creator:: Riddick, Tara L.
Abstract:: Osteochondrosis (OC) is a major source of lameness in horses, involving abnormal maturation of cartilage during the first year of life. Previous studies have shown that cartilage canals may be associated with early OC lesions with accumulation of large numbers of small rounded chondrocytes surrounding the canals. Altered expression of...

Evaluating preconditioning options for the Jacobian-Free Newton Krylov Method applied to radiative transfer with matter coupling

Creator:: Myers, Nicholas T.
Abstract:: The objective of this thesis was to investigate the use of the Jacobian Free Newton Krylov Method (JFNK) with physics based preconditioning for solving coupled radiative transport and material energy balance. Modeling of these physics is important in inertial confinement fusion and other high energy density systems. In this thesis,...

Performance validation of a prototype skin contamination detector via use of very thin thermoluminescent dosimetry

Creator:: Kaiser, Krista
Abstract:: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) sets regulations for specific depths in the human skin for exposure to highly localized radioactive particles known as hot particles. This research determines the dose rate to a 10 cm² area with a density thickness of 1 mg/cm² at depths representing shallow dose, lens of...

Laboratory performance of highway bridge girder anchorages under hurricane induced wave loading

Creator:: Lehrman, Jora
Abstract:: Many bridges along the Gulf Coast of the United States were damaged by recent hurricanes, and many more are susceptible to similar damage. This research examines performance of common anchorage connection details for AASHTO Type III prestressed concrete girders used by some transportation agencies. Full-scale specimens were fabricated and tested...
