  • Evaluation of serum amyloid A and haptoglobin as prognostic indicators for horses in a referral population

    Creator:
    Westerman, Trina L.
    Abstract:
    Acute phase protein (APP) measurement can be used to characterize and rapidly detect inflammation. Serum amyloid A (SAA) and haptoglobin (HP) may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in horses presenting for colic and other inflammatory diseases. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the use of SAA...

  • Precipitation-snowmelt timing and snowmelt augmentation of large peak flow events, western Cascades, Oregon

    Creator:
    Jennings, Keith S.
    Abstract:
    Despite advances in the understanding of rain-on-snow storms and their resulting peak flows, little is understood about the response of snowmelt to precipitation and the relative timing of the two at multiple temporal scales within such events. To address this issue, climate, snowmelt, and streamflow data were analyzed for 26...

  • Accuracy assessment of LiDAR point cloud geo-referencing

    Creator:
    Williams, Keith E.
    Abstract:
    Three-dimensional laser scanning has revolutionized spatial data acquisition and can be completed from a variety of platforms including airborne (ALS), mobile (MLS), and static terrestrial (TLS) laser scanning. MLS is a rapidly evolving technology that provides increases in efficiency and safety over static TLS, while still providing similar levels of...

  • Trends in streamflow from old growth forested watersheds in the western Cascades

    Creator:
    Moore, Kathleen M.
    Abstract:
    Increasing temperatures in western North America are expected to result in a decline in winter snowpacks, earlier snowmelt, and a shift in the timing of streamflows, with an increasing fraction of streamflows occurring earlier in the water year and drier conditions during the summer. However, few streamflow datasets have associated...

  • Contribution of physical education to the overall physical activity behavior of children

    Creator:
    Wilson, Wesley J.
    Abstract:
    The benefits of physical activity (PA) are well established (USDDHS, 2008). Concern over the high rate of childhood obesity, however, has highlighted the emphasis of PA. Yet, children and adolescents are not obtaining the recommended amount of PA (CDC, 2011). Physical education (PE) has been recognized as an important source...

  • Improving robotic grasping performance using machine learning techniques

    Creator:
    Goins, Alex Keith
    Abstract:
    Robots are being utilized in ever more complex tasks and environments to help humans with difficult or dangerous tasks. However, robotic grasping is still in its infancy and is one of the limiting factors which prevent the deployment of robots in the home and other assisted living scenarios. Traditional methods...

  • Meander scars : reflections on healing a river

    Creator:
    Metzger, Abby P.
    Abstract:
    As Europeans settled the Willamette Valley in the 1800s, they began to simplify Oregon's largest river contained wholly within state boarders—the Willamette. The river lost miles of channels from dikes, dams, and development. Some channels vanished under concrete. Others became meander scars, or shallow, dry depression in the land where...

  • Incorporating labeled features into image classification using generalized expectation

    Creator:
    Moore, Travis
    Abstract:
    Image classification is a difficult problem, often requiring large training sets to get satisfactory results. However this is a task that humans perform very well, and incorporating user feedback into these learning algorithms could help reduce the dependency on large amounts of labeled training data. This process has already been...

  • Framework and Method for Designing Complementarist Interventions to Systemically Address Management Challenges in Small Organizations

    Creator:
    Moore, Bradley
    Abstract:
    Small organizations may face several management challenges, such as developing non-centralized management structures, knowledge retention in rapid turnover environments, complex operations, and diverse stakeholder requirements. Many methodologies exist to address such management challenges, including viable system model, knowledge management, and Toyota production system, or lean manufacturing. Each of these methodologies...

  • Fuzzy logic for improved dilemma zone identification : a simulator study

    Creator:
    Moore, Derek
    Abstract:
    The Type-II dilemma zone refers to the segment of roadway approaching an intersection where drivers have difficulty deciding to stop or proceed through at the onset of the circular yellow (CY) indication. Signalized intersection safety can be improved when the dilemma zone is correctly identified and steps are taken to...
