Comparative descriptive analysis of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to climate change mitigation and adaptation by Costa Rica and México

Creator:: Pinard, Zachary J.
Abstract:: Under the Paris Agreement, parties submitted documents outlining their commitments to climate change mitigation and adaptation, called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which are set to be updated to increase ambition by 2020. Costa Rica and México are known for their significant national actions on climate change, so comparing these two...

An Analysis of Driver's Visual Attention When Exposed to Roadside Drone Operations

Creator:: Sova, Alden
Abstract:: Drones are being used increasingly in the transportation sector for roadside applications such as surveying, structural inspection, and traffic monitoring, which raises distraction concerns for drivers. This study examines the visual attention of a group of Oregon drivers to determine drones’ potential as distracting roadside elements. Eye tracking data was...

Single-Cell Genomics of Uncultivated Marine Bacteria

Creator:: Landry, Zachary
Abstract:: Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...

Evidence of work engagement and its link to performance in lean manufacturing implementation

Creator:: Fairman, Zachary J.
Abstract:: Work engagement is demonstrated when employees are involved with, committed to, enthusiastic, and passionate about their work. The goal of this study was to summarize relevant information on work engagement, produce a working coding system to identify evidence of work engagement, and discuss the implications of work engagement on an...

Bottom-up cost modeling for vanadium redox flow battery component manufacturing

Creator:: Southworth, Zachary J.
Abstract:: In the U.S. there are increasing energy demands that require an ever-increasing need for the large-scale use of new energy resources. Specifically, sporadic renewable energy sources are being incorporated into utility energy portfolios. Thus, supporting stationary energy storage technologies are needed to make these renewable sources reliable and feasible for...

Terahertz Imaging and Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Semiconductors using Plasmonic Devices

Creator:: Thompson, Zachary James
Abstract:: In this dissertation, a series of studies in the field of terahertz (THz) science are presented, specifically using nonlinear THz spectroscopy. We exploit huge field enhancement and subwavelength confinement in plasmonic structures. There are three distinct projects which will be discussed: nonlinear THz spectroscopy using plasmonic induced transparency (PIT), THz-triggered...

Immunological and physiochemical characterization of fish myosins

Creator:: Reed, Zachary H.
Abstract:: Increased sales of surimi seafood, with the majority as crabstick in the United States indicates that surimi based products are becoming more popular. With growing popularity, there is increased competition for market share. Under these circumstances, some companies may be willing to sacrifice product quality in order to facilitate manufacture...

Application of a weighted Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) for Structure Comparison in Radiation Treatment Planning

Creator:: Fried, Zachary
Abstract:: Coded metrics that compare representations of structures within the human body to evaluate their similarity are considered useful for planning radiation therapy on cancer targets. However, existing metrics fail to take into account the dose of radiation that will be received by both the target, and surrounding non-target tissue, during...

Some results in probability from the functional analytic viewpoint

Creator:: Gelbaum, Zachary A.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents some results from various areas of probability theory, the unifying theme being the use of functional analytic intuition and techniques. We first give a result regarding the existence of certain stochastic integral representations for Banach space valued Gaussian random variables. Next we give a spectral geometric construction...

Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

Creator:: Wallace, Zachary P.
Abstract:: Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...
