Mapping Spine Surgical Outcomes and Risk Factors

Creator:: Hernandez, Phillip A.
Abstract:: The majority of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is the leading cause of disability globally, ahead of 290 other conditions1. Over one million people in the United States receive spine surgery annually2. This thesis looked at five standard surgical procedures performed on...

Evaluation of Methods for Applying Phosphorus, Potassium, and Boron Fertilizers in Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:: Leon-Chang, David P.
Abstract:: Previous studies indicated that fertigating with nitrogen (N) was more effective than using granular N fertilizers in production of northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). To build on these findings, four studies were conducted in western Oregon to determine whether fertigation was also an effective method for applying other nutrients,...

Comparing Sediment Microbial Communities of Arctic Beaver Ponds to Tundra Lakes and Streams

Creator:: Shannon, Kelly
Abstract:: In recent decades the habitat of North American beaver (Castor canadensis) has expanded from boreal forests into pan-Arctic tundra ecosystems. It is unknown how the advance of beavers into Arctic watersheds will impact microbial communities responsible for the mineralization of organic matter (OM), which has implications for carbon cycling. To...

Generalized Preconditioning to Accelerate Simulations with Large Multiphase Chemical Kinetics Models

Creator:: Walker, Anthony S.
Abstract:: Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

Improving and Understanding Deep Models for Natural Language Comprehension

Creator:: Ghaeini, Reza
Abstract:: Natural Language Comprehension is a challenging domain of Natural Language Processing. To improve a model’s language comprehension/understanding, one approach would be to enrich the structure of the model to enhance its capability in learning the latent rules of the language. In this dissertation, we will ﬁrst introduce several deep models...

Phylogenomics and Evolution of Ground Beetles, with an Emphasis on the Speciose Tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Creator:: Pflug, James M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I investigate the evolution and genomes of carabid beetles, a worldwide family of over 38,000 species. I focus on two species-rich groups, the tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini, both of which are primarily found on the shores of bodies of water. The former are distinctive for their defensive...

Integrated Manufacturing Process and System Analysis to Assist Sustainable Product Design

Creator:: Raoufi, Kamyar
Abstract:: Product development in the 21st century requires integrating sustainability performance evaluation with product design and manufacturing activities. A variety of factors, including climate change, public awareness, and increasingly strict regulations have compelled companies to design and manufacture more sustainable products. While the design phase typically accounts for only 5-7% of...

Perceived Discrimination and Hypertension: Contextual and Mediating Factors

Creator:: Sims, Kendra D.
Abstract:: Marginalized groups in the United States are often diagnosed with hypertension at younger ages, contributing to their excess burden of cardiovascular disease. These disparities in blood pressure control do not appear to be fully accounted for by individual risk factors, such as health behaviors or genetic differences. Experiences of discrimination...

Deep Perception Without a Camera: Enabling 3D Reconstruction and Object Recognition using Lidar and Sonar Sensing

Creator:: DeBortoli, Robert A.
Abstract:: Deep learning has recently revolutionized robot perception in many canonical robotic applications, such as autonomous driving. However, a similar transformation has yet to occur in more harsh environments including underwater and underground. This is due in part to the difficulty in deploying robots in these environments, which lack large real...

Health Outcomes in Pakistan: Empirical essays for Policy Assessment

Creator:: Gardezi, Najam uz Zehra
Abstract:: In resource constrained settings, missing markets and unregulated externalities can have a significant impact on human capital outcomes. High out of pocket expenditure due to the inaccessibility of insurance markets limits the use of healthcare, just as the inability to borrow in the face of a cash constraint may lead...
