  • Visualization of N-ary Relationships

    Creator:
    Qu, Botong
    Abstract:
    N-ary relationships, which relate N entities where N is not necessarily two, are omnipresent in real life. In this thesis, we develop a visualization technique for N-ary relationships. First, we propose a visual metaphor that utilizes vertices and polygons to represent entities and N-ary relationships. Based on this visual metaphor,...

  • Landscape Genomics and Climatic Responses of Willamette Valley Alders

    Creator:
    Kral, George L.
    Abstract:
    The climate of the Pacific Northwest is in flux, and existing forest ecosystems are stressed and poised to shift in fundamental ways, with or without human intervention. This dissertation probes the nature of forest responses to environmental change through investigations of morphology and genetics of three species of alder co-occurring...

  • Communication efficient private set and database operations

    Creator:
    Garimella, Gayathri Annapurna
    Abstract:
    Secure Computation is a powerful tool that enables a set of parties to jointly compute any function over their private inputs, without a trusted third party. Private Set Intersection is a specific case of two-party Secure Computation, where Alice (with private set X) and Bob (with private set Y) specifically...

  • The Breeding Ecology and Foraging Niche of Aleutian Terns (Onychoprion aleuticus) in the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska

    Creator:
    Tengeres, Jill E.
    Abstract:
    The Aleutian tern (Onychoprion aleuticus) is a species of high conservation concern in Alaska due to large declines at known breeding locations since the 1960s. Due to the small population size and ephemeral behavior of this species on the nesting grounds, there is little basic biological information available and data...

  • Queering Science Writing: Bringing Marginalized Perspectives to the Mainstream

    Creator:
    Goodfriend, Olivia F.
    Abstract:
    Within the field of science communication, the voices, perspectives, and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community have long been kept at the margins. This has led to a gap in material that recognizes queer individuals and communities as audiences, communicators, and stakeholders in STEM. I address this gap by generating a...

  • Analysis of Intact Glycomacropeptide Derived from Bovine Kappa-casein in Whey Protein Isolate and Intestinal Digesta

    Creator:
    Qu, Yunyao
    Abstract:
    Kappa-casein glycomacropeptide (CMP), a 64-amino-acid peptide, is released from kappa-casein after rennet treatment and is one of the major peptides in whey protein isolate (WPI). CMP has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities. CMP has two major amino acid sequences with different modifications including glycosylation, phosphorylation and oxidation. However, no previous work...

  • Wall-to-Wall Forest Mapping in Southeast and Southcentral Alaska: A New Application of the Gradient Nearest Neighbor Approach

    Creator:
    Irvine, Daniel R.
    Abstract:
    Boreal and temperate biomes host nearly half of the earth’s forested ecosystems. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific coast of North America constitute nearly half of all temperate rainforests on earth. Along the northern extent of this region, the perhumid and sub-polar rainforests of southeast and southcentral Alaska are among...

  • Examining China's Cross-strait Economic Statecraft in the Mid-2000s

    Creator:
    Chi, Erik
    Abstract:
    In 2005, Beijing acted to court the farmers of Taiwan through a series of unilateral agricultural tariff reductions. This move was deliberately formulated to weaken the incumbent Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) by targeting the party's strong rural base. This paper seeks to investigate the effectiveness of China's use of interest...

  • An examination of climate and land-use change as drivers of population dynamics in breeding birds

    Creator:
    Kim, Hankyu
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenic land-cover change and climate change are the major drivers of the steep loss of avian biodiversity in past decades. Loss of avian biodiversity is predicted to result in the reduction of ecosystem services and ecological functions. Identifying avian population changes and the drivers of these trajectories is essential for...

  • Relation extraction with automatic ontonotes annotation and ETC

    Creator:
    Sauer, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Intuitively, it seems as though natural language processing tasks might benefit from explicit representations of the syntactic and semantic properties of text. Ontonotes is a dataset which attempts to annotate texts, to represent as much as possible of the meaning of the text explicitly within the annotation. Many tools exist...
