  • An Agent-Based Simulation for Emergency Warning Dissemination in a Multiplex Social Network

    Creator:
    Koll, Charles D.
    Abstract:
    The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...

  • The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

    Creator:
    Meunier, Zechariah D.
    Abstract:
    Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...

  • Application of Technologies for Temporary Structures during the Design and Construction Phases

    Creator:
    Jin, Ziyu
    Abstract:
    The development of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), light detection and ranging (lidar), and sensor-based systems poses new opportunities for researchers to rethink how construction safety and health can be approached during the design, planning, and construction phases of a project. Nevertheless, the majority of the technology applications...

  • Secrecy of massive MIMO systems under antenna failure

    Creator:
    Assiri, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    As the fifth generation of mobile communication systems (5G) is being deployed, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) serves as one of its enabling technologies where reliable and ultra low latency communications are achieved while being power and spectrum efficient. This thesis studies the security aspect of massive MIMO system from the...

  • A Computational Method for Building Spherical Pictures and Theoretic Results from Explicit Constructions

    Creator:
    Merzenich, Matthias C.
    Abstract:
    Let H be a cyclically-presented group on n generators with a single defining relator. Attempts have been made to classify such groups by their order, their status as a 3-manifold group, and the asphericity status of their presentations. For groups with a defining relator of length 3 these classifications are...

  • The Yellow House: Stories of Place, Space and Community

    Creator:
    Gann, Tamara S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an IRB-exempt oral history focused on the non-profit Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center (CMLC) in Corvallis, Oregon. The CMLC, formerly on 9th Street, was known to many community members as the Yellow House. The Yellow House was a dedicated community-based space where people of all cultures could come...

  • Vegetation dynamics at two western New York forests

    Creator:
    Rhea, Neally
    Abstract:
    Since the early 1900s, widespread agricultural abandonment has occurred in western New York leading to a general increase in forested areas through old-field succession. Even-aged stands typically follow these large-scale disturbances, resulting in a pattern of development with identifiable stages (Oliver 1980). At each stage, changes in vegetation dynamics encourage...

  • Use of Landscape Characteristics to Quantify Hybridization Risk Between Native and Introduced Salmonids

    Creator:
    Manning, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of non-native species can negatively impact native species through reduced genetic fitness resulting from hybridization. The lack of spatiotemporal data of hybrids occurrences makes assessing hybridization risk difficult. Here, I developed a spatially-explicit GIS Hybridization Risk Model (HRM) between native ESA-listed Bull Trout and introduced Brook Trout by...

  • Post-fire Forest Management Activities Alter Soil Properties, Sediment Yields, and Vegetation Recovery in the Northern California Coast Range

    Creator:
    Cole, Ryan P.
    Abstract:
    The extent and severity of wildfires in forested regions are increasing throughout many regions on the planet, including western North America. High-severity wildfires directly affect soils and vegetation by altering soil hydraulic properties, reducing soil organic matter, exporting carbon and nitrogen, and killing trees and understory vegetation. These impacts can...
